Michigan Nature Presents: Ephemeral

A truly remarkable natural phenomenon occurs in woods and forests across the state as spring arrives. But the window to experience this incredible nature show is short and easily missed. This short provides an in-depth look at this vital and fleeting watery world. Learn more at mivernalpools.com

Love this. As a child I remember getting gallon jars of "muddy" water from these pools and coming back, staring, and finding the life. Spent HOURS watching tiny things jet through the water.

As a child I used to be amazed at all the life in the water across the street from our house unfortunately it doesn't exist there any more because it has been filled in

[@marciamotter7906]

This is very cool. I had no idea. But then I think about the mosquitoes - are they reproducing and growing in the same wet space?

Us Michiganders are fortunate. Life is all around us 😍

We are all products of nature. Nature has given us a mobile body to carry our organic brain to collect stories of this planet. We're just talking human primates who kill other sentient beings for ego while we neglect taking care of the planet which produced us. We arrogantly believe we're the center of all things. But we're not.

Just to think we went through are woods and filled every water hole with dirt. We like it dry for planting are vegetables.
