We only had long algae like this right at the waterline. The rest of the hull was only lightly covered in some slimy pastey algae. Not bad for 13yrs in the water....

Many thanks for your friendship, comments, invites and good wishes. Also thank you to those who have made me their contact. Due to poor health, eye problems and low energy I regret I can't take on any new contacts but nearly always manage to reply to your comments.
I am getting too many requests from those unknown to me to look at a picture, via flickrmail. If you want me to see a picture then leave me a comment and I will go to your site. I can only respond to flickrmail from my contacts, friends, those who comment on my photos or those with whom I am in regular contact.
One invite welcome-more, too many. I send my best wishes to you all.
This was taken from a distance on a pond off a rural road near St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin. If you look closely, critters will start to appear. Turtles, a couple of ducks, etc.
This is what happens when your lens fogs up, you don't notice, and you keep taking pictures. Definitely works for the subject matter, though! Happy accidents.

Filamentous algae and bubbles seen along the shore of San Francisco Bay at the Berkeley Meadow portion of McLaughlin Eastshore State Park.
This algae is beginning to form floating green mats in this part of the bay. Perhaps the bubbles are made of oxygen generated by algae photosynthesis? Later, when the algae mats die, their decay consumes oxygen, but at this stage the algae is probably generating lots of it.
This photo looks like it was taken underwater, but actually I was standing at the shore looking at the edges of the mats. A gentle wind was slowly blowing the mats around so they were constantly changing, almost like clouds. The sky was clear and sunny, making the bubbles shine brightly.
Taken with a 100-400mm zoom even though I was only a few feet away from the algae, basically a "telemacro" mode. The depth of field is rather shallow, but the blurring around the sides enhances the feel of this image, rather than detracting from it. The field of view here is just a few inches.
I am not sure of the exact species of this algae. But its mats sure looks like the Rhizoclonium riparium that blanketed Richardson Bay across the bay in Marin four years ago, in June 2020.
I can see a reflection of myself holding the camera up in the large bubble at the lower left. I suppose that my tiny reflection is actually in every one of this myriad of bubbles.
