 List of organisms and plants:algae, lily pads, green vegetation, and aquatic bugs.

Observations: The leaves in my 30x30 area have a very bright red hue, the lily pads are continuing to die, and there is nearly no aquatic insects in sight anymore. One special thing about this visit is that there was a Racoon in the area. It was also starting to rain and thunder during the time I took this picture. Besides the details previously listed there is no further changes in the 30x30 area.
