Scavenger Hunt Reflection Hyde Healy

In this picture, I see the Lily Branch Stream with its eroded bank the focus of the picture. What immediately jumps out to me about this picture is the drastically eroded bank of the stream. Instead of the gradual decline that comprises most banks, the Lily Branch’s bank drops straight off like a cliff. This picture makes me think of water and just how powerful of a force it is. The erosion displayed in the picture tells the viewer water is a force that commands their respect and attention. This photo highlights the importance water management and watershed maintenance plays in the town of Athens. When I look at this picture I feel motivated to learn more about watersheds and water management so I can aid in the battle to keep Athens healthy and beautiful. The photo makes me realize there is much more I could be doing to help. I think this picture is about watershed management and, more specifically, erosion.
