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.
Now algae may not be the most welcome thing in a pond or lake, especially if you have dogs that like swimming. However I did find the pattern on this particular pond very interesting.

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.
Algae are a diverse group of organisms that occur in various shapes and sizes and have different ecological roles. Thousands of species of algae occur world-wide in both fresh and marine waters. Many species of freshwater algae float in the water, but others are attached to submerged rocks or aquatic plants. Most freshwater species are inconspicuous and do not create problems for humans. There are only a dozen or so, so-called "bad actors" that are considered problem-causing algae.
Algae typically serve as an important and welcome part of a lake or pond ecosystem. They form the base of the food chain and are a vital component of lakes. Algae provide a source of food, energy, and shelter for zooplankton (tiny water animals), fish, and other lake organisms. They can play a crucial role in the ability of a ecosystem to absorb nutrients and heavy metals.

As the sun goes down in Corpus Christi, Texas, the waves in the Gulf of Mexico gently caress the overgrown walkway.
The cold temperatures and snowfall haven't affected the algae growth on the way side as eastbound CSX loaded coal train T386 rolls through Caldwell, WV, on March 9, 2019.
These green algae are usually growing where fresh water enters the sea and are very slippery.
Diese grünen Algen wachsen normalerweise, wo Süßwasser ins Meer fließt, und sind sehr schlüpfrig.
My submission for 52frames week 31: Choose a Color.
Green is the chosen color. Although, a case could also be made for white.
Green algae, members of the division Chlorophyta, comprise between 9,000 and 12,000 species. Like plants, green algae contain two forms of chlorophyll, which they use to capture light energy to fuel the manufacture of sugars, but unlike plants they are primarily aquatic (Canon EOS 700D).

This set of images is my first set of images in 2021. In fact, this trip was my first trip in the COVID-19 pandemic, as the situation has started to ease over here.
This sambhar deer had an egret on it's back, and was eating the red algae in the water!
Unfortunately most of the spring green I'm seeing is algal growth, which is a sign that too much nitrogen from fertilizer is making its way into the waterways. These 'blooms' eat up oxygen in small pools and kill fish.
I have never understood why people move from the city to the country, only to cut down trees and rip out native grasses to plant high maintenance lawns which they complain about having to maintain.
Why is the lawn still so ingrained in our culture? It is a relic whose time is long past. There are better things to do with time and money. Let there be common greens, home gardens, and plenty of nature.
