Welcome to week 13 of our one year pond study.  For the rest of the posts in this series please see here.

We had great plans this week of doing some water study.  T11 gathered jars for water collection, thermometer for taking the ponds temperature, pH paper…you name it we had it.  Only when we got there the weather was so glorious and the pond so peaceful, we just played:

All our old friends were at the pond this week:

The Canada Geese were fishing

And then the Heron swooped in and then flew off again:

So very little actual study was done.  Instead we did a whole heap of playing!
