Bambi 'n bugs


Walking through our meadow last week I found that Bambi didn't make it this winter . . . I just found the lone skull - with a nibbled nose and fur still between the tiny antlers. When I turned over a log to prop it up . . .

Whoa! I found where the lady bugs spend the winter - thousands and thousands of them - quiet, sleeping, hibernating . . . just starting to move slightly as I watched them while the morning sunlight warmed them up. ~N
