This is a river.... looks good hey. Class 15F no 2914 crossing the Hex River at Rustenburg Plats during January 1994.
algae, we put a glow necklace around him like a belt, he seemed to think it was a cute fashion accesory
In the hot springs on Geyser Hill, these bizarre algae colonies thrive. There are flies that feed on the algae. They have "hot pads" on their feet to protect them from cooking. They kind of skate over the water. The flies are eaten by spiders, who do NOT have the hot pads, so they run, bare foot, (I presume shouting OUCH! OUCH! OUCH!) out onto the mat, grab a fly, and (literally) hot-foot it back to the shore, hopefully before their little toes are burned off. What a life!
A small fountain hidden in the long shadows of the afternoon sun, only the green algae seemed to radiate light, just under the surface of the splashing water.
My fountain badly needed cleaning, but the algae were so photogenic! If you look closely, little eyes are watching you . . . .
The algae had grown on this rock during the summer and the water flow pushed all the algea to grow in a uniform direction
This is the bottom of the water reservoir of our coffee machine. I've had to wipe green algae off it before. I think that if I moved the machine away from the window it would help. In the meantime I'm emptying it daily and will use Milton to get rid of the algae. I read that it has an important role in the food chain, and may not be harmful, but I don't like the look of it.
Today We're Here are visiting Green Food.
This is as macro as it gets folks.
So, last week we got to play with expensive microscopes in Biology class. These had standard lenses and scopes, but they had crazy awesome adjustments, so I was able to focus so well with these microscopes. And on top of it, they were hooked up to computers so we could take pictures for recording what we saw.
Me being a photographer, I stayed after class and played with my microscope and had a little fun.
This is some stringy Algae, or weeds from a pond.
