Pond

My grandparents have a small, man-made pond in their yard. There are a lot of different frogs and fish that live in their pond. My grandfather has lived in our small town all his life, and our family has kept a pretty decent record of events in the town. Its really interesting, because he knows basically everything thats gone on in this town since it was founded. Behind where the pond is now, there used to be a railroad track and we can even find Native American arrow heads sometimes out in the woods. Only a couple of decades ago, all the places where our houses and neighborhoods and schools and stores are, there used to be just woods. And the woods were just everywhere, and now so many people have moved here and we’ve taken up so much space. We’ve gotten rid of so many trees and places for the native animals to live. We’ve seen coyotes and deer and turkey and many other animals in the woods. Its really suprising how the land we live on now really used to belong to so many other animals, and we’re just pushing them out, more and more all the time. http://www.freefoto.com/images/15/37/15_37_73—Woods_web.jpg
