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.

Indian Plum, Oemleria Cerasiformis
Day 144: One of the earliest spring blooms, Indian Plum (Oemleria cerasiformis) is a twiggy deciduous shrub common in western Washington. Also called "Oso Berry," it bears small oval fruits in a cluster, pale when immature and reddish-black when ripe. Although the fruit is considered edible, it is rather bitter and best left for the birds.
