Ptilota densa grows on coralline algae as well as on rocks in low intertidal and subtidal water. These are worn specimens cast ashore and the Ptilota shows some yellow-green that would be red in life. The coralline, possibly Lithothrix aspergillum, is a lighter pink in life. Both are Red Algae. Measurement across the specimens ~6" (15cm).

#4523 - 2020 Day 140: So I took my kayak off the fence to clean it. It needed cleaning. It gave me an interesting image. Now I need to use the kayak ... hmmm!

Puddle with algaes

Ventured out again this morning, Really strange and slightly apprehensive after being out of the UK due to Corona Virus for 4 months. This looked an interesting abstract in the marina at Sovereign Harbour which is just outside of Eastbourne. Decided on a B&W conversion.

The sun was setting in the marsh and things were very quiet. There were a few birds but everything too distant for a shot. When I spotted the Yellowlegs I took a shot because I liked the old tree trunk and the colors of the water and algae.

Is "Meihua algae" that not only flourish in the clear stream

But it is quite beautiful

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.

Two leaves on the river with a ton of algae made for a strange photo, but one I like.

I love shooting macro as wide open as I can so that only a sliver of the subject is in focus. While exploring in my backyard, I spied my fence line in the shade with a hint of sun illuminating the algae growing on the fence. I thought a close up look at the algae might make for an interesting "What is That?" composition.

Pancake (our service dog) decided not to go over this bridge today and only walked up one side. The block work on this one is beautiful. There are numerous large branches lodged under the center of this bridge which have been there at least a year. Litter and debris did not prevent one little loon from having a wonderful swim here - we did lose sight of this loon when he dove under water and never surfaced again. It is sad to see this lake not being adequately maintained although the bridge itself was built to last. We did not see any fish today although we saw many no fishing signs.

Other ducks and geese were on the opposite side of the lake enjoying a nice swim.

Any algae specialists out there?

My submission for 52frames week 31: Choose a Color.

Green is the chosen color. Although, a case could also be made for white.
