Wanting to write a little story about small Saul the northern bog lemming, I thought I should do a little research. What’s it like in Saul’s world? When we went to Big Bog State Park last year, we were amazed at how interesting it was in bog-land.
I’ve printed out a few little articles about bog lemmings and have a library book about bogs. I don’t have a story yet, but I did a couple illustrations of the carnivorous plants in the bog. When we were there, we saw tons of pitcher plants, but the sundew plants were past their season.
That’s all I’ve got for today – a story is brewing in the brain but not yet materialized on the screen. It’s about as mysterious a process as life is in the bog.
The unsuspecting blog post wanders too close to the sundew in the morning…GULP!
