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.

After The Storm
Day 348: The Nisqually Land Trust's annual Salmon Bake is held in a small private park near Johnson Point overlooking the area of Puget Sound known as the Nisqually Reach. It is a lovely venue with views of both Anderson Island and Key Peninsula with a glimpse of McNeil Island in the distance between the two. Today's event was punctuated by half-inch hail, thunder, lightning and a brief but intense downpour which drove all of us under cover until it had passed over, leaving the bay to mirror the sky almost without a ripple. As tempting as this scene might appear to a kayaker, I am advised that the harbour is subject to strong and unpredictable currents.
