365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

Sundews - The Strip
Day 269: Some years ago, I took a handful of bird photos and captioned them according to what the birds' poses suggested. Birds put a lot more personality in their body language than one might expect, so this was a fairly easy task. On the other hand, plants are fairly static...or are they? Sundews in particular lend themselves to anthropomorphization rather well, what with their wild hairdos and spatulate faces. Even their curled, nodding inflorescences hint at mood and manner. And of course you can never have too many photos of Sundews, so here are a few "characters" from my most recent outing on Lake St. Clair. Regular programming will resume tomorrow.
