ODC-Bridge Over Troubled Waters
I used the photo below as my template to create this in DDG-Text-2. Green Water is troubled water and we have it here in the summer in Cayuga Lake. It's full of Algae Bloom and dangerous to swim in. It can cause some nasty skin rashes. Much of it occurs from the fertilizer that people put on their fields and lawns. It runs downhill into the lake since it's in a deep valley.

Cladonia floerkeana is a lichen. A lichen is a composite organism that emerges from algae and lives among fungus in a symbiotic relationship.
Although Cladonia floerkeana is considered a moss, it does not grow real 'cups'. Instead, it consists of straight match-like sticks. Like reindeer moss, this moss type bears red fruits no bigger than a match head. Cladonia floerkeana grows on peaty and sandy soils, and on rotting wood in heaths, sand drifts, dunes, and thatched roofs.
Three of a large group of longfin batfish ( Platax teira) that have taken up residence inside the lagoon. I am hoping they will eat some of the algae and weed that may be harming coral.
One of the Red Algae, this species has new, cup shaped growth each winter that would eventually replace the older blade below it. This tattered one and many others even more torn were found in the beach wrack,

When I express interest in a seaweed, people often ask if it is edible. In this case, probably not, but I have just read, "Extracts from this seaweed have been shown to inhibit several viruses." [You never know!]--Mondragon & Mondragon, Seaweeds of the Pacific Coast
Another shot of algae covered rocks at my favorite place on the coast, Pescadero State Beach.
Between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz, California.
soft waves of algae at the edges of a gently flowing creek in the woods.

Fiquei fascinada com o efeito da luz da manhã nestas rochas cobertas de musgo... ou de algas - alguém sabe identificar ao certo?...
I was mesmerized by the effect of the morning light on these moss- or algae-covered rocks - can anyone identify which is it?...

Algae growing on sharp volcanic rocks in the tidal zone on Kepuhi on the western side of Molokai. Looks almost like the rocks have hair or fur.

This species of Brown Algae lives at the edge of the intertidal and subtidal, where it is continuously pounded by surf.
..... some more of the marine algae I was watching from the end of the rickety peer on Mull. I think this is what they began to look like as I dozed off ....
Cleaned the pavilion roof
Today we cleaned the polycarbonate pavilion roof. It’s just over 3 years since we built it.
With the help of our window cleaner and his extra long brush we got it clean. It was covered in yellow algae .
The secret was using a detergent called TFR (Traffic film remover) mixed with water, brushed, and then hosed off.
We built the pavilion in April 2021.

This species of Green Algae usually appears black to me, like a mass of tar, but some places it must look more green.

More of the coots in our pond. There's a family with four babies. One of the parents has got a broken leg, no idea what I can do about it.
There's also a family with two babies on the other side of the pond. Coots are supposed to be not very nice to each other so maybe the families got into the fight and that is how one of the coots got injured.
Primordial (adj.) - Latin, "first of all, original". A large planter filled with water became covered with a sheet of algae. When I poured the water out, the algae draped over the bedraggled remains of the planter's shrub, trapping bubbles. The late afternoon light, filtered through these agglutinous films, presented a most peculiar aspect. I imagine it as the dawn of life, with primitive unicellular creatures emerging from the primordial ooze and creeping towards the sun...
Strolling past a small shieldbug nymph, this globby is still dwarfed. It's ~0.5mm long, and there were hundreds of these and larger Dicyrtomina species globbies on just this one marble headstone at Brookwood. Conditions were damp today and the algae growing in the shade of a giant redwood, obviously providing perfect grazing conditions.
