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.

Orbital Spring
Day 154: Every now and then, I pull out old flower pictures and play with turning them into Orbs. Today, I proceeded slightly differently. I took fresh photos of snowdrops and a crocus (one of two the deer missed), and although I'd originally intended them for separate posts in their original forms, they suggested Orbs to me...soft spring greens and delicate lavender hinting at brighter colours to come. Orbs are enchanting and their creation can be addictive, if for no other reason than to satisfy a curiosity about what may turn up. I've never been able to visualize a specific end-product, so the resultant Orb is always a surprise. Sometimes you just need to do something because you can, the old "because."
