Green algae is Hydrodictyon, the water net. It is a related to Pediastrum, but it forms a bag-shaped colony. Like Pediastrum each individual cell can develop into a new colony. You can imagine that since the colony contains thousands of cells Hydrodictyon can reproduce very rapidly. And unlike Pediastrum, Hydrodictyon can grow large, almost 30 cm. in length. Blooms of Hydrodictyon can be a real problem for water treatment plants.

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

Taken in October 2007. The stream approaching the lake.

This was a stream flowing over the cliffs and down the cliff face covering the rocks with green algae. Shot at Sandymouth bay.

Sweet old couch at Brooklyn Flea.

I thought the algae looked awesome- kind of like hair....

looking at colour contrasts, red, green,blue.

I like the patterns of the streams of algae flowing in the water of a drainage ditch.

These algae live in near boiling water near the fault line that runs through New Zealand. Almost looks like an aerial shot of a delta but the "lake" is less than a meter long.

this is the flora responsible for the breakdown of one of the most unique coastlines in North America. It's eating it little by little.. mmmm
