On Sunday, Larry and I finally dropped down to Cape May to walk around the nature trails near the lighthouse. The temperatures had dropped about 10 degrees, and it was ONLY a balmy 88 degrees in the shade.
By the time we got done our walk and got back in the car I was just a puddle of sweat.
Not much doin' down there......just saw the regulars....mallards, white herons, snowy egrets, and of course the ever present Mute Swans.
I'm sure there were other species hidden away out in the marshes, but it was just too hot for anything much to be moving around.....just the crazy people on the trail (Larry and I only passed one other group of people on the trail as crazy as we were to be out there!)......probably would have been much better 1st thing in the a.m.
There is a TON of algae in the ponds this year.

Yellowstone National Park is magical in the winter, not that it isn't insanely neato all the time...
I went to Landmannalaugar, a great place located in the Icelandic interior highlands a few days ago.
There are some hot springs and in some of them, we can find large strings of algae.

The greater flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus) is the most widespread and largest species of the flamingo family. It is found in Africa, on the Indian subcontinent, in the Middle East, and in southern Europe.
This is the largest species of flamingo, averaging 110–150 cm (43–59 in) tall and weighing 2–4 kg (4.4–8.8 lb). The largest male flamingos have been recorded at up to 187 cm (74 in) tall and 4.5 kg (9.9 lb). It is closely related to the American flamingo and Chilean flamingo, with which it has sometimes been considered conspecific.
Subadult with gray white coloration
Like all flamingos, this species lays a single chalky-white egg on a mud mound. Most of the plumage is pinkish white, but the wing coverts are red and the primary and secondary flight feathers are black. The bill is pink with a restricted black tip, and the legs are entirely pink. The call is a goose-like honking.
Subadult flamingos are whitish grey and only attain the pink coloration several years into their adult life. The coloration comes from the carotenoid pigments in the organisms that live in their feeding grounds. Secretions of the uropygial gland also contain carotenoids. During the breeding season, greater flamingos increase the frequency of their spreading uropygial secretions over their feathers and thereby enhance their color. This cosmetic use of uropygial secretions has been described as applying "make-up".
The bird resides in mudflats and shallow coastal lagoons with salt water. Using its feet, the bird stirs up the mud, then sucks water through its bill and filters out small shrimp, seeds, blue-green algae, microscopic organisms, and mollusks. The greater flamingo feeds with its head down, and its upper jaw is movable and not rigidly fixed to its skull.

These Geese prefer to stay on their little "Island" then swim in this little Water Feature seen in Scarborough,
Yet another baby Iceland swimming alongside Mommy Iceland.
I guess this one's name could have been Greenland if the name wasn't already taken by a much much bigger island.

In the water, my feet freezing next to them.
But it seemed that what I had in the frame was from another world.
So my feet being cold was the least I could do, all considering.
Watermelon snow, also called snow algae, pink snow, red snow, or blood snow, is Chlamydomonas nivalis, a species of green algae containing a secondary red carotenoid pigment (astaxanthin) in addition to chlorophyll. Unlike most species of fresh-water algae, it is cryophilic (cold-loving) and thrives in freezing water. Its specific epithet, nivalis, is from Latin and refers to snow.
This type of snow is common during the summer in alpine and coastal polar regions worldwide, such as the Sierra Nevada of California. Here, at altitudes of 10,000 to 12,000 feet (3,000–3,600 m), the temperature is cold throughout the year, and so the snow has lingered from winter storms. Compressing the snow by stepping on it or making snowballs leaves it looking red. Walking on watermelon snow often results in getting bright red soles and pinkish pant cuffs.
