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.

Zygo Pollen Nebula
Day 29: While examining grains of Zygocactus pollen under the microscope today, I was startled by the sudden rupture of one and subsequent expulsion of thousands of microspores in a nebulous cloud. I was immediately struck by the similarity of the microscopic world to that of the macroscopic universe and couldn't resist converting one to the other digitally. The more I think about this, the more convinced I am that there are substantial relativistic overtones. After all, the TARDIS is bigger on the inside than on the outside.
