 In "frog eggs" the boy in the picture is in the creek, or pond, lifting
up a strand of frog eggs with a stick. His face is well drawn and probably shows
his joy and wonder with the gooey egg strands. |
In "river crab" the boy has just captured a river crab and by the look on his face, it was a bit tricky to grab it without getting pinched. |

In "fireflies" the girl stands in the creek, he eyes lit- up like the hundreds of fireflies floating in the air around her. In Japan, fireflies have a larvae stage in the water, so their presence indicates that the water is clean. The firefly larvae eats snails that live on the rocks in the water. |
In "catching fish" the boy is attempting to catch fish with his hands. In the summer, many schools and community clubs bring in a bunch of fish to put in a small pool to let kids attempt to catch them with their hands. It's a lot of fun! |
"I am trying to catch a fish by hand, but not having much luck." |
"I go to the creek with my dogs and watch little fish. The water is cold!" |
