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.

Sunshine Point Water Tower
Day 231: I do not know if the old water tower which served Sunshine Point Campground for many years qualifies as a historic structure or not, but my curiosity about it is growing and I know the people to ask. Given our Pacific Northwe't climate, I'm surprised it's still standing after all this time. The Calypso Orchids and Northern Coralroot which once graced the slope beneath it have almost ceased to appear. Today, one lone Calypso poked up behind a log amid a tangle of broken branches and forest debris, a small and cheerful companion for this old relic. "See? I have not forgotten you. I bloom to recall you to your better days."
