Hibernaculum

Tim fondly recalls spending his winters as a youth in the isolated mountainside home of his grandparents. Buffered from the wind and snow by several layers of jackets and sweaters and undergarments, he was free to roam nature as he saw fit. This is how he befriended a local black bear that he named Daisy. One afternoon he stumbled upon the creature's hibernaculum - a collection of brush and foliage material set up in a cave-like allover. It was the perfect spot for one of God's creatures to spend the winter.
