Adventuring in the back country, we came across this interesting frog in the bottom of a dry creek bed. Perfectly preserved, rock hard and heavy. We named him "Glenn". Will he reconstitute and come alive if put in water? He may be in a state of "Estivation". Time, and water will tell.
Frogs that live in areas that are dry for part of the year burrow into the ground and go into a dormant state called estivation or �summer sleep.� They stay there hidden from the heat of the sun and from predators until the rain comes when they emerge in large numbers until the dry conditions return. Some desert frogs can attach themselves to plants and turn white and hard as a rock during the dry season. When rain comes, they absorb water, wake from their sleep, and hop away.

One of my goals in life and photography, is to try and encourage others to get out and experience God's beauty in nature for themselves. The wonders in this world, large and small are continually amazing to me. Sometimes, I am just frozen in wonder at its beauty. Come... take a journey with me. Life is short, Carpe diem!
