Samantha and Megan, standing atop a rock in a lake,
make a heart to tell the lake, "We love you."
The rock is a round boulder which a glacier brought south from somewhere in Canada. When the glacial ice melted, about eleven thousand years ago, boulders and stones and pebbles were deposited on the rolling sandy land. This boulder is a favorite perch for explorers, geese, and mermaids.
Note the circles of lichen on the boulder. Lichen is made of two plants living together: a fungus and an alga. Their relationship is called symbiosis: they help each other to survive, and to flourish.
