The Gallery - Week 42 - Mother Nature

This photograph, taken today (from a very precarious perch), shows a sight that has become all too familiar to me this winter - a beautiful frog, frozen solid in the ice in my pond. I am sure that the frog population will survive the cruel temperatures - nature finds a way -  but it fills  me with huge sadness to see this example of the fragility of life.
