Hi Mrs. Krekeler,
The Picyures are so cool! I like the picture of the tree around the rock. But the picture of the sign was unclear so what forest were you in??

Hi Ms. Krekeler
I saw the porcupine and thought it was really interesting how the tree's roots had adapted to the rock and had grown around it.
Why was the porcupine in a tree?

Hi!!!
I really like the picture was amazing and I especily like the one about the porkipine, but how come it is in the tree because I didn't know that they could climb.

Mrs. Krekeler the park is so beautiful! Do you thing that you could bring us samples of the water so we could test to see if the water might be contaminated?

Hi Mrs. Krekeler
The pictures are amazing. I think it is interesting how the tree can live on top of the stone. How did the tree start growing? Anyways..., I also thought it was neat how the porcupine was in the tree. I had no idea that would happen. I have also watched many of your other videos and I am interested and amazed at some things that happen. I think it is interesting how you have been working. Did you take all of the pictures of the ground and the snake? I liked how you got the picture of the snake. It blended in, it must have been hard to get the picture. See you soon.

mrs. krekeler i am so surprised how that tree could grow on that boulder!!! i think that the porcupine looks scary in the tree. i am sure that the rock under the tree will erode or blow away sooner or later and the tree will fall over!!! you must be having a great expeirience!!1

The pictures look very interesting. When I was observing them some puestions poped into my head, would you like to answer a few of them? Firstly, why and how did that tree survive by living over that rock, how did it get enough water? Secoundly, what porcupine, I don't see it? Thirdly, how do the porcupines adapt to changes in the cold weater? And Lasty, there is a lot of water in thoose pictures, How could was it in there, did you test it?

Just wondering,

Hi Mrs Krekeler, Kejimkujic National Park looks beautiful. My favorite pic is the flowing lake, but I couldn't help but notice those huge roots growing out of the ground of that tree. Canada looks great! BYE!!
