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.

Now This Is An Icicle
Day 83: Now THIS is worthy of the name "icicle," and no, you don't want to know what I did to get this shot, maybe doubly so because I had just been in a safety meeting in the conference room outside which it was hanging. No, it didn't extend to the ground. It terminated at the porch roof where its diameter wasn't much smaller than at this point. I had nothing handy to give a sense of scale other than some portion of my anatomy and I needed one hand to operate the camera and the other for stability. If you view the webcam at Longmire, you'll be able to tell that I was just a few windowpanes to the north. We only keep the icicles from obstructing the view directly in front of the webcam. More snow coming this week!
