The top one is of a storm rolling in from the west. The bottom one is a road side ditch that is home to many species of fish, plants and animals. These are typical veiws of the entire marsh area in the swamp part of the driftless area.</B></div> <div> <IMG SRC="04955180.jpg" border=0 width="597" height="792" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
