Reflection:

Today when I went down to my stream I noticed that it was running faster than it was the previous days. It's likely because of the thunderstorm that occurred at my house last night.  I also noticed when I was collecting samples that there were many more water striders around the area I've been sampling at today. I don't know the reason for it but I just thought it was something I could note. I decided to take my lead sample in 3 various spots from around the back of my house all were about 2 feet from my house and were spaced out about 6 feet from each other so that I could get the most accurate results of the soil around my house. 

Pictures from the day: the first two are of my stream, the last two are the same picture of some of the Water Striders I saw today.
