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.
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.
Somewhat weird, but simply blue-green algae that has bloomed in the river Thames, seen here in the shadow of a boat.
Thank you for your friendship and comments etc. Due to chronic poor health I'm unable to take on new contacts but do my best to reply to comments. More of my shots can be seen on
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.
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.
A painted turtle popped out the algae covered water on Hoople River. A more closeup view of the water algae as seen below.
