Another geology lab in a cool spot where I stumbled upon some jewelweed, also known as touch-me-nots, snapdragons, or more formally, impatiens. Not only is this a beautiful plant both when it flowers and when the leaves shimmer under water, but the liquid from the crushed stems can be used as a natural treatment for poison ivy!
