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.

Sunshine Point Water Tower
Day 231: I do not know if the old water tower which served Sunshine Point Campground for many years qualifies as a historic structure or not, but my curiosity about it is growing and I know the people to ask. Given our Pacific Northwe't climate, I'm surprised it's still standing after all this time. The Calypso Orchids and Northern Coralroot which once graced the slope beneath it have almost ceased to appear. Today, one lone Calypso poked up behind a log amid a tangle of broken branches and forest debris, a small and cheerful companion for this old relic. "See? I have not forgotten you. I bloom to recall you to your better days."
