I spotted the Green frog or can be called “Lithobates clamitans” in the pond during our first lab looking for dragon flies. The scientific name is Rana Clamitans.

The frog looked about full grown and was half in the water and half out the water soaking up the sun. It was a bright green color staying as still as can be, so it was hard to spot. It was a bright and fairly warm day, so…

cover in the green, slimy muck of a pond. I doubt I would have ever picked up the sport of fishing if I knew it required dodging golf balls, but this is the type of fishing I love.

It has been four days since anyone has seen or heard from Santiago. I’m worried something bad might have happened to the old man. I try to calm myself and remember Santiago can handle himself, but I can’t help thinking he may be in trouble. Search and rescue boats, planes, and helicopters looking for Santiago, but each time they return back empty handed. Everyone in town has been anxious for Santiago to return.
