Day 130: Some of you...the ones who were fortunate enough to discover "Winnie the Pooh" before Disney destroyed it...will remember the chapter "In Which Pooh and Piglet Go Hunting and Nearly Catch a Woozle." I felt rather like I'd stepped into their circle today when I discovered that my walking route at T Woods had been retraced by a coyote. Not only had it followed my path through the housing area, but it had also patrolled both loops of trail, apparently following my scent. Well, Mr. Coyote, you'll have more to do tomorrow because I tracked you today! Around and around and around we go, hunting woozles, and on each circuit, new woozles join the pack.
This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.
