strangest algae I've seen

Four of a kind all in a row. The sun was out and they wanted to work on their tans I guess.

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.

..... 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.

Dry, damp with algae, and submerged!

Young moorhen looking for insects in the algae. Taken in Kensington Gardens.

This is the algae the green water deposited on the beach.

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...

I went to the rocky shore of Porkkalanniemi to shoot the sunset.

The thick layer of clouds we're blocking the spectacle, so I went looking for something else.

Found this huge rock in the sea covered with algae, and took a very long exposure of it while there still was some light left.

You don't always get what you want, but it might not be a bad thing.

Captured these Black Swans cruising around this algae coated lake during a birding session at Hunter Wetlands Center (Shortland, NSW, Australia) a couple of days ago.

It is amazing what you can see in pond scum. The algae can be seen growing in strands inside these bubbles. best viewed large.
