Pond Reflections
This small wetland is on the campus of the University of North Carolina Wilmington between Friday Hall and Leutze Hall. While it is often dry, it periodically fills with rainwater that lets an aquatic community erupt. Thus, the very existence of this habitat type depends on the water cycle and vagaries of the Earth System. Apparently professor McCrary identified an endemic ferry shrimp from this pond turing her tenure at UNCW. The reflections of the Longleaf Pine trees adds to the mystery of this early mooring image.
