12:16 pm
Weather: Cloudy, low 70's (73 degrees), much more humid than yesterday because of the rain from last night,
Sound: Waterfall was much, much louder today because of rainfall and the river volume increase, chickens which were exploring the area near me
Sight: heavier water flow, fast stream speed, seems like there are no slow moving areas from my perspective, area around is fully saturated with water but there seems to be no puddles, water is murky because of fast flow I couldn't determine if there were fish or other such animals

E. Coli Samples
In my E. Coli sample I found 15 colonies and after multiplying that by 10 there were 150 colonies. I left them on top of my houses furnace. I noticed that the gel had started to dissipate, so I hope that was because the E. Coli colonies had started to dissolve the gel and not because they were too hot or some other condition.
Sketches
Lead Sampling Sites - 4 sites scattered along the area of my house
Reflection
While at the stream today, I felt like it was a very good end to my data collecting. Yesterday I chose to bring a travel watercolor set to my site. Today I did the same thing and it felt very serene to sit, listen to the water, and paint. But when I did collect my water samples it was very simple. Today I also collected the dirt/lead samples, I chose 4 different locations to use which were scattered around the area of my house.
