    Rotary Creek by Mia Vo

    The water was clear, with many flat rocks leading into the stream. A shaded area with a bench provided a good resting spot and a stable surface for testing. Aquatic plants, insects, and algae were present on the rocks. Numerous shells and rocks were visible beneath the water. Update: We found a crayfish under the waters, but it was found dead likely from change in Ph or something else. We're unsure whether it's a rusty crayfish.
