365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

Chicken If You Don't
Day 77: This one is for my botany partner Joe, a tradition we established to acknowledge any relatively substantial snowfall in western Washington: the (ideally) annual Snow Angel Contest. Now it must be said that I've been a lot colder for a lot longer than the few seconds it took to make this photo. After all, I was an alpinist in my younger years. Nevertheless, at 24 degrees, I wasn't going to make repeated tries for the best possible image. You get what you get, okay? I didn't sink in nearly as far as I'd expected to because the bottom layer has compacted after several days of being on the ground. My imprint only goes as deep as the overnight and early morning accumulation on top of a 12-16 inch base of almost-ice. We're to get quite a bit more white stuff on Thursday, so I'm asking you: are you up for the challenge? You're chicken if you don't! And don't make me up my game!
