Biking Brickyard Pond

After going to Brickyard Pond several times, today I managed to explore the pond thoroughly. The pond is about 7 minutes biking from PEA. It is a small pond that many people visit to fish.

There is a diversity of plants and animals in the pond. In the water, a species of aquatic plant dominates. On the land there are many species of mosses. There are also some mushrooms because of the continuous rain in the previous days.
