Reclaiming Wonders
A young child with long blonde hair is wading in a shallow stream or drainage ditch filled with murky water. The child is wearing a blue shirt and red shorts. Tall grass and reeds line the banks of the water. In the foreground, a few small fish can be seen swimming in the water, suggesting an attempt to rescue stranded fish from a receding body of water. The scene conveys a sense of natural exploration and curiosity by the child.

Child Rescues Stranded Fish

Nature rescuers trying to figure out next plan of action. In our drainage area, the water had receded enough to strand some big fish from the lake. Bass? Like 1.5 foot long monsters. So after seeing other fish carcasses (they were pretty grossed out by the maggot lesson ;) ), we had to try to rescue them. Back to the house with equipment only to see that the fish were not longer within touching distance. I finally convinced them they could wait two days for Pop to arrive with his "big boots" and "big strong muscles"- kid words of course. Oh the hero! We will see. Pop may just noodle them out and fry them up! ;) you gotta admire their dedication.
