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.

A Shortage Of Snow
Day 136: I'd like to dedicate this photo to my friends on the East Coast who may not see green until August. While record snow accumulations are plaguing them, the Pacific Northwest and notably Mount Rainier have the opposite problem: we're short on the white stuff. Paradise has a mere 60 inches on the ground, there's none at Longmire, and from what I could see from the Westside Road, it's just patchy at Indian Henrys. It's not warm temperatures alone. Precipitation has been minimal. It will be interesting to see how low snowpack will affect the wildflower season.
