Sarah,Good to hear from you. Thank you for thinking about those questions. The water in the river that is in the photo is mostly frozen, so the water you see is not moving much at all. But look at the shape of the river and the path that it seems to be following. Would it take fast and strong water to make those turns or slow running water? The trees are not pine, but they are evergreens so good guess!
Cheers,
Mr. Wood

Hello Sarah,The highest temps here so far has been 45 degrees F. I'm not sure what the lowest temps have been yet but it has not been very cold yet!
Keep thinking about the river and the trees. We will talk.
