If you see any frogs this week, it will probably be the last time until the weather warms up: These guys are preparing to either hibernate or brumate depending on their species. See you in the spring, guys!

Autumn is approaching! Fallen leaves provide protection for many important species that overwinter in Massachusetts. Before you grab your rake and lawn bags, consider which areas of your yard and gardens you can leave untouched.

Based on this Isabella tiger moth caterpillar's bands, what kind of winter are we in for? Spotted in Ashfield!

A thaw in temperatures is luring me out of hibernation, where I find hope amid melting snow and ice. Perhaps life IS possible.

Josephine was not pleased we made her stay in today from chores during the frigid cold. However, looks like she found the new bed that I had made last night as an adequate apology for ditching her! 😂

Love it when I can do shore support for my swim buddies. #winterswimming #seaswim #oceanswim #newenglandwinter #littlerhodey

Two female figures entering a blue sea. Both are wearing black neoprene mitts. One has arms up jumping into a breaking wave. The other has arms out at shoulder level. The sky is blue with puffy clouds

A snow covered mostly frozen river with a triangle shape of near the center of that is clear of snow and ice. In the snow there are tracks of animals that walk through the snow.

Swam for 25 minutes and don’t think the firemen doing ice rescue practice on the pond even noticed me.
