Green Lake...what else :-)

Blue-Freen Algae Bloom - while quite beautiful, blue-green algae are toxic to small animals and fish.

Algae growth is natural, and some amount of algae is healthy. A lake with no algae would be a dead lake.

But the addition of nitrogen and phosphorus from fertilizers and other pollutants, combined with hot, sunny days, can spell excessive growth.

There is little to nothing I can do as I am not a farmer, but photograpically it was beautiful to see the rich contrast between water and sky
