Notes

Watch your footing. there are hidden rocks in the grasses.
There was several aquatic plants- see photos. Should be identified. Elodea Canadensis. And what looks like water forget-me-nots but they are completely submerged and are located in the middle of the creek. I am not sure of the identification BUT they do appear to be. Check into this.
The types of Algae visible are unique. They are formed around sediment, and look in different shapes.
