Currents swirl different varieties of algae, producing a fascinating variety of patterns.

What type of filamentous algae would self-organize into a pattern like this inside one of the jars in my biology classroom? So bizarre and yet so beautiful.

It's not easy being green!

This is another shot of the Cuckmere River. I'm not exactly sure why I took this photo, let alone upload it. I find the patterns created by the algae interesting, if not strangely beautiful. But its not the sort of phenonmenon that usually gets most people's attention.

{pronto, dona Bianca Maria, não é um cinza, tá satisfeita agora?}

 

Nyammmm, lindo né? *____*

 

O Algae segue a linha de cor do Dirty Sexy Money, mas é um pouco mais escuro que ele. Como eu amo verdes sujinhos, fiquei doida atrás dele por um tempão, até que finalmente comprei. Aí você quer muito um esmalte e é aquela coisa, quando finalmente consegue... não usa hahahahaha

 

Demorei um bocado para usar e obviamente me arrependi mil fios de cabelo por não ter usado antes. Ele tem esse tom lindo de verde sujinho, é super pigmentado (cobre com uma camada) e esse brilho que vocês podem ver na foto é todo dele, não gosto de passar top coat em esmaltes desse tom porque sempre acaba dando uma alterada, mesmo que mínima (e não, eu não tirei a foto com o esmalte ainda "molhado", eu tinha passado ele já fazia umas 5 horas mais ou menos).

 

Belezura de esmalte heim e barato ainda por cima!

One of the most enjoyable courses I ever took was the study of algae. We each had a pond (or still body of water) and every week we spent time seeing the changes in our "drops of water" from the samplings we took. Absolutely fascinating.

Barnacles and Algae on Thompsons' Beach and Delaware Bay

This brown algae consists of a bunch of vines with leaves. Some leaves stick out, while the others are wrapped around each other.

The algae is approximately 50 meters long, and has a brown-yellow-greenish hue of color. It also seems to have rough and watery leaves, and the algae and it's leaves sway in response to the water.
