Adventure 5 (Algae)

This is a small creek that we found in the woods, you can see the algae floating in the water. There is a shadow in the water from the tree above the water where i was taking the picture. I could hear andd feel the wind whipping my hair around my face and It smelled like mildew outside.

This is a different creek that has algae everwhere you can see some floating and some just swaying in the water. There are dead twigs and bushes around the pond. There are no signs of animal life here but there is definately a lot of plant life under the water.

Mrs.Richardson had just happened to have found this while i was walking with her through the woods. It was on the ground almost completely covered by dirt and rocks
 and she just happened to spot it she said it was an old turtle shell. The turtle shell looked like it had been there for awhile it was thin and cracked in a couple of places but it was still a neat thing to find.
This is just a small creek surrounded by rocks in the woods. There isn't very many signs of life but there is some moss growing around the sides of it. It was about 57 degrees outside today, but it was very windy and you could feel that spring time is coming soon.

This is algae in the big pond next to the bus lot behind the school. You can see the algae growing in the water next to the rocks. There were ducks swimming in this pond and you could hear them flapping their wings in the water, and when i watched them for a minute i could see that some of them were mating, which i thought was really neat. They would fly up in the air together and come back down to the water.
