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.

Better Late Than Never
Day 180: Happy First Day of Skunk Cabbage, at least officially, as far as I am concerned. I've seen a few tiny yellow tips prior to this, and have been unwilling to spend $20 on gas to get to my favourite bog just to take one photo, although I'm sure they're in bloom by Swofford Pond. This year's selection came from a small patch on Lillie Dale Road which is largely overgrown with grass. The grass hides extremely soggy ground, so I had to content myself with zooming in for this shot. Even so, the distinctive skunky fragrance (which, incidentally, I find quite enjoyable) filled the air. It wouldn't have been spring without Skunk Cabbage.
