Life in a Drop of Water

Here you will find some photos of plants and animals found in mud puddles, pond water, and other surface waters. These are beautiful pictures and  some are very "arty". I wondered if color had been added to increase definition, but even if that is true, it just enables appreciation of these beautiful forms.
In college I took a microscope class and it produced much excitement when we looked into drops of water. The beauty and diversity of life has no end. It just keeps changing and becoming more intricate and beautiful.
