Hydrilla

At Baxter Pond I saw bunches of tall lilly pads that had pink and yellow buds on them. I also saw red, orange and yellow tree leaves floating on the water. There was a fallen birch tree in the water on the far edge. There were also reeds and cattails on the sides of the pond. The trees on the far side of the pond had lost some of their leaves and the remaining leaves were red, brown or orange. There were a lot of cars and trucks going by on the road that was about 20 yards away. The road is called Forest Ave. There were a bunch of stores along the far side of the street too. There weren’t many trees on the side of the pond that we were on. There was grass between the trees and person-made paths along the side. There were also a couple person- made rocks that were on the side of the pond. The water in the pond was clear and pretty still, except for a couple ripples from an occasional breeze.
