The stream pictured is Bear Creek. The location is on the bridge across from Barnett Hall in Kirksville, MO. The picture was taken on November 4, 2019 around 11:30 am. Even a small stream or lotic system contains a complex ecological system within it. There are several layers in the stream: the hyporheic zone, benthic zone, and main channel. Along the stream there are also riffles and pools. Each of these sections has a diverse array of organisms with varying jobs. The hyporheic zone is often home to detritivores and sedentary organisms. The benthic zone and main channel contain the more free moving organisms. Riffles and pools have different flow rates and oxygen levels which provide the proper environmental conditions for different organisms. The stream can also provide an example of a food web or trophic web. Algae or aquatic plants growing on the rocks and in the bottom of the stream are eaten by insects, detritivores, and some macroinvertebrates. These smaller organisms may then be eaten by larger macroinvertebrates and/or fish. The algae and plants represent primary producers while the insects that eat the plants and algae are the primary consumers. The larger macroinvertebrates and fish are the secondary and tertiary consumers respectively.
Deep East Texas.
A mesic stream bottom dominated by American beech, Southern magnolia, and other hardwood species on timber company land in East Texas. While the timber company manages the uplands for timber production, they have left healthy streamside management zones that boast a rich diversity of plants.

Small stream on our property that usually goes dry, but due to a wet spring this year, is flowing well. Taken in late afternoon.
Shugaku-in Rikyu(Shugaku-in Detached Imperial Palace) was built by Emperor Gomizuno-o in 1629 as a retirement retreat. The most elevated garden (Kami no chaya) is best preserved. It surrounds a large pond (Yokuryuchi), Pond of the Bathing Dragon, that makes use of borrowed scenery, or shakkei, since it is located on the slope of a hillside at the foot of Mt. Hiei. It has a spectacular view of the surrounding hills and Kyoto below. The first view of the garden is usually from the Rinun-tei, or Cloud Touching Pavilion, from which one has an elevated view of the lake as well as the mountains beyond.
