This is another attempt at photomicroscopy. Starting to get the hang of it now. It is really fiddly.

This branching structure reminds me of drawings in the book about prehistoric flora and fauna I had in my childhood

This image was taken within Yellowstone National Park along one of its many trails at roadside stops viewing earth's thermal activity.

Frozen algae, on the beach in Brador, Quebec, Canada.

it's a duck, posing on a little man-made waterfall. the water was very thick with algae, but the birds don't seem to mind.

I went to Wickham Park in CT today and I brought only my new 40mm pancake lens with me. Once I started to get a feel for the lens I ended up with quite a few keepers. It's not as "bokehlicious" as a tighter lens would be but I really like the framing it gives.

The hand isn't photoshopped in... I just realized that the shadow cast by the hanging muck might look like I put the hand in.

Algae in a lake. I stirred it with a stick!

My sister holding some algae, it was so weird, yet cool. I know this picture is nothing special, but I just love the colors.

Algae and sun in local creek -- Missouri Ozarks

This is a piece of local algae I pulled from our towns hot spring

drain. It seems to be mostly layers of blue green that have collected

together to form mats. I have a lot more work to do and will need

another more powerful microscope to actually attempt to ID any further.

..that was truly thick, like a billion spider webs glued together with candyfloss

Yellowstone geyser runoff water temperature ranges are distinguished by the different color algae that can grow in differing temperatures.
