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.

Some folks have been asking about this photo. Here's the untouched version.

Long extension cord + laptop feeding tv the photo + bottle of water.

Photoshop clone filter killed the cord and helped punch the colors and contrast.

Queen of Barbados ~~ Pride of Barbados ~~ Poinciana ~~ Bird of Paradise

This beautiful Poinciana plant, whose flower clusters on tall stalks are in varying stages of living and dying, is in the Garden of The University Of Arizona Medical Center (UAMC).

I was there last week for a CT Scan, as one of the required steps to ensure that I really am a viable candidate for a cochlear implant in my right ear...

Update as of February 24th, 2014: During a series of Audiology Lab assessments it became clear that hearing aids could help me to hear better. And, hearing aids do not involve a surgical procedure. That was a viable option, and I went to Costco for a new top of the line set. They have been very effective in improving my quality of life...;))
