Field Trip to the Cypress Swamp

Today at Lake Charlotte and the Cypress Swamp we learned about salutes, nitrates and how to kayak. While I was on the kayak I saw two alligators sunbathing on the shoreline. I saw small bugs swimming in the swamp. Moss was in the water. When we tested to see how clear the water was we put it in a tube with a black and white diamond at the bottom, and then you let water out until you saw the disk. This showed the turbidity of the water or how cloudy it is. Nature has beautiful things if you pay close attention.
