Observation Site Three, Fabulous Day Five

And this site really was fantastical.

For the second time on this blog, I simply must reference fairies, because this bubbling little creek with its steep bank of vibrant moss is where they live, if anyplace.

Once we moved away from this almost frighteningly steep location, the ground leveled out and the creek took a straighter path.

We found various living creatures in the water, including water striders (which I have always found to be rather icky) and an adorable baby frog, which panicked and swam down to the bottom to hide beneath a leaf.

Even here in the shade, it was unusually warm, and the lively chatter of students continued.
