Happy New Post Monday!
As you all have probably heard for the past two months, Winter is here! Here in northern North America, we have freezing temperatures with snow covered hills and sagging icicle covered trees. Some animals migrate and leave the cold behind. Some animals stay and go into sleeping states like torpor or hibernation in their hidden homes. Then there is the Wood Frog who says, no to leaving and sleeping through the wintry chill. Instead, the Wood Frog freezes into a frog-cicle, a state with no heartbeat or breathing. (This is not a technical term). Then it thaws in the warmer temperatures of spring, perfectly fine, healthy, and ready for mating season. Bonus Photograph: I usually only get to see my animals in photos online but, last summer, I found this adorable little Wood Frog while hiking the forests of Wachusett Reservoir.

I'm just a doodling artist. My current style started in a lecture class at MCLA where I began doodling in my notebooks. Now I've started a new series focusing on animals. Archives
