Finally Friday...
It's finally Friday
I'm free again
Got my motor runnin'
for a wild weekend...
(It's a country song)
Today we got to go to a UVM lab where they have a Scanning Electron Microscope and we looked at different specimens we had collected at the pond. Here are some examples...

These are spores on a fern!!

This is a leech's mouth! Now I'm even more scared of them...

This is one of my favorites- a spider mite's eye!
We posed for the camera in front of the SEM room with our photos...

Then we went to the library to research Shelburne Pond's history...

But we got sidetracked looking at a collection of rare books in the collection that this library has! There are all sorts of books here and some of them are the only copy ever made.
