The clarity on this is better and the color more apparent on this snail. You can see the cross fibers of the algae growing on the window of the tank (and here I thought i just cleaned it...if you can see this imagine what you kitchen table would look like under a microscope...)
This guy is about .5 centimeters in real life
this single swan was in a small rivulet completely covered in green algae, as you can see from its beak
Researchers at Bowling Green State University worked with NexSens Technology to deploy a new monitoring buoy in Sandusky Bay. Algal blooms in Lake Erie are a persistent problem, with the main concern being clean drinking water. This buoy is equipped with sensors to measure algae and provide advanced warning to managers at the Sandusky Big Island Water Works Intake. Here, Doug from NexSens shows researchers how to view live data from the WQData LIVE web datacenter.

A rare and unusual specimen of algae preserved in clear chalcedony. Originally it would have been growing in silica-rich run-off from geothermal hot springs. Kaueranga Valley, Thames

Algal blooms in Lake Erie are a persistent problem, with the main concern being clean drinking water. This buoy is equipped with sensors to measure algae and provide advanced warning to managers at the Sandusky Big Island Water Works Intake. After deploying the buoy, researchers tested its ability to handle big waves.

Years ago my middle school students studied and photographed filamentous green algae in the classroom, under the microscope. I snagged this one to test out the camera and as a practice shot, to prepare to show them the necessary technique.
This photo is a bit out of focus, so it doesn't illustrate how excellent that little Coolpix was for this type of photography.
This reminded me that I have forgotten a lot of my biology for the benefit of microbiology. :-)
Fascinating to see them in person, nonetheless. More than seeing them in books! -)

several seaweeds found on North Berwick's west beach all exhibiting the same hyperbolic undulations as the patchwork felt (see below)

The study included samples from Upper Klamath Lake and surrounding canals serving agricultural fields. Shown here is graduate student, Lindsay Collart, carrying out water sampling. Photo provided by OSU College of Science.
A nicely colored algae culture caught my eye in the experimental section of the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium in San Pedro. I had to be in San Pedro on a non-related matter the other day and I had not been at the aquarium in a few years. So I decided to stop and I was happy to notice that they expanded their facilities and have two whole sections where biologists work with marine plants and animals, one of them dedicated to kid.

weather was perfect for shooting after days of raining, the sun finally came out and every was green.
