COMBINATION PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST Entry #1: Current River Crawdad

Here is my first entry for @papa-pepper's second week in his combination photography contest. As very active nature enthusiasts, we see all sorts of fun stuff in southern Missouri, but we don't always capture proof. This contest gave us a little inspiration! (when I say "we", I mean my husband @jasonrussell, our girls, and our family and friends!)

Our girls caught a very small Cambaridae (freshwater crayfish) in the order Decapoda (shrimp, crabs, and lobsters) Or better known to us Southern Missourians as CRAWDADS!!! I snapped this picture on my iPhone after our girls and @jasonrussell placed him on what might possibly be some stinging nettle ( @hethur240's best guess)

Proof of the girls going crawdad-hunting with @jasonrussell

And proof of @jasonrussell and I with this little crawdad before we put it back in the water

Thanks for looking!
