Etoniah Creek

 

When I was looking up what kind of critter this was, I read that some

scientists are considering water striders as possible indicators of

mercury contamination in small freshwater systems. There is still

research to be done, but I thought it was interesting.

 

Any critiques or ratings are appreciated.

 

Thanks!

This reminds me of when I was a kid playing in a creek in the woods. Thank you for the memory.

Katherine, this is lovely. I love the ripples and the way the light defines them. The little water strider is so clear, the detail is amazing. A beautiful composition. Absolutly stunning.
