A Lesson

Posted by Michael Rawluk (Prince George, Canada) on 18 October 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

As we drove to the pond, my friend was telling about how she went to this very same place about 30 years ago. It was a school field trip during which they were learning about how a the vegetation in a pond rots and raises the bottom until the pond becomes a meadow.

Well, lo and behold, the pond has diminished greatly and is mostly meadow now. The muddy part seen will soon be grassed over.

The only thing keeping what is lerft of the pond is a family of beavers.
