Sitting Pretty 6697
A Wood Frog sits atop a beautiful Mandevilla bloom for a portrait. A fairly common tree frog of the northern reaches of North America, its habitat stretches from Alaska across Canada and south to Georgia. Most interesting is its ability to withstand freezing temperatures. Genetic biochemical modifications of its metabolism allow much of this animal’s body to freeze during colder winter months. Upon thawing they resume normal activity, and they are some of the earliest animals to emerge in spring. It’s a chilling tale and a fascinating concept that is the subject of extensive study. For those of you who are interested, the photographic process used to make this portrait is called light painting. #WoodFrog
