This mat, I think it is algae, was near a bubbling mudpot slightly above Blood Geyser. I treminded me of the shape of stromatolites I have seen in the past.

Old stomping grounds over at Tourmaline Surf Park in Pacific Beach. Longboarder heaven out there. All those rocks weren't there a few years ago...

It looks like lichen, right? Turns out it's algae. The trees in this part of Point Lobos are covered in a Green Algae (it produces chlorophyll cells). The color of this green algae happens to be orange (due to carotene pigment). Strange. :-)

Trentepohlia aurea v. polycarpa

(great info about this algae can be found at: pt-lobos.parks.state.ca.us/Plants.htm)

The Great Salt Lake is an important feeding and staging area for south bound migrants to refuel before continuing their journey. It is also an area that provides food for breeding species such as the Long-billed Curlew that nest on Antelope Island.
