Here's the perfect music for this picture! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlCiDEXuxxA
At the top of the Upper and Lower Table Rocks, there are seasonal marshy areas called vernal pools. They are the home to many plants and animals, including the very rare fairy shrimp and a flower found only on the Table Rocks, Dwarf Wooly Meadowfoam. (I hope to take pictures of both as the season progresses!).
I didn't think I'd find any frogs, though they were making an incredible racket, but I thought I might see a pollywog or two. Nope. What I DID find were zillions of little black beetles zooming around in the water! I took some pictures, all the while figuring they wouldn't be interesting enough to post, but when I got home and looked at my images I found... TINY BUBBLES!! After looking through my pictures, I realized that making a collage with the bubbles would be much more fun than showing off the water scavenger beetles, which you can also see in three of the pictures here. I hope you like them! :D
If you would like to know more about water scavenger beetles, take a look here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophilidae
