Today's Update. Merino/silk

Seen during a walk along the creek.

Stayed on the beach on the Palm Coast in Florida for a couple days. Its winter time, so the weather was mostly cold and cloudy, however a huge improvement from the 10 degree weather at home in Colorado!

Thermophilic algae (green) living along side a mineral deposit (white) in runoff from Whirligig Geyser in Yellowstone National Park. This water ranges from 100-133°F (38-56°C).

Every time these young ducks put their face in the water, they come up with algae hanging from their beaks

A month ago, this pond hosted two duck families, a turtle, a heron, and lots of fish. Families loved to come down and feed the animals. This is what the pond looks like today. I complained to the management company. They told me they sent someone down who said the pond was fine. Does this look fine to you?

Almost looks like thawing ice. Except it's green.

Bio fuel

Algae are a component of lichen. This find at Auckengill Harbour in Caithness seemed to suggest a landscape steeped in blood (at the time I was working on Macbeth).

blooms suddenly in first warm weather but quickly clears

Very beautiful, on a bucket of water in my greenhouse.

See an amazing video of this stuff at 1000x magnification here www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md0PtdRxXvw

About Cenote Ponderosa

Ponderosa is a very large open cenote with crystal clear water and lots of life hiding among the large blocks of collapsed algae covered limestone. Look out for the Sail fin Mollies, Cichlids, freshwater Eels and Turtles. You will also see plenty of bird life in and around the cenote including Motmots, Cormorants, and Grebes. If you are lucky you may get to see the Grebes diving and chasing the brightly colored shoals of fish underwater.

Ponderosa is a very popular site for snorkeling as well as Cavern and Cave Diving. It is also a popular training site.

I did my first Scuba diving training here.

Near Bawdsey, Suffolk coast.

Starting a new day finishing this long term project - finally beads are fired, pit fired, some of them glazed and finished with gold lustre. Pine twig found and clasp is made. Here it is - Algae embrace.

When Will Advanced Biofuels Get to Scale?

Algae, cellulosic ethanol, and other advanced biofuels always seem to be five years away. When will they become a meaningful source of low-carbon energy?
