Algae covered rocks like this one were all along the beach and looked really vivid being washed around by the tides.

The moss and algs assimilate carbondioxyde out of the karst water of a source and calc is precipitated. The moss and the algs begin to be encrusted, calc tuff is formed....

Das Moos und die Algen entziehen dem Karstwasser der Quelle Kohlenstoff(IV)oxid, sodass Kalk ausfällt, der langsam das Moos und die Algen inkrustiert, es enteteht Quelltuff...

One of the 2 Siamese Algae Eaters has been spending most its time sheltered in the rock crevices of their new home. The silhouette of the SAE's pointy snout visible in the center.

Enhanced lake algae.

Lots of this deadly algae about too around the waters edge.

In contrast to the bone-dry Chesbro reservoir, the Calero Reservoir had what seemed to be plenty of water. There were a lot of people out on boats and jet skis around the water (including the ranger boat, which was rounding people up half an hour before sunset). Apparently the Calero is just over 50% full, while the Chesbro was about 5% full.

I wonder if the differences are natural or part of the reservoir management. (Apparently the reservoirs are part of different watersheds.)

As for the algae... I wonder if this is why our Brita pitcher grows a green slime on the bottom after being left on the counter for a few days.

Early morning view from my front door across Mundoo Channel on 9-1-09. Calm waters with green algae starting to bloom on the sea water in the channel.

Today's temperature is expected to reach 41C - 106F today and we had 39C yesterday and there is no cool change due until Tuesday.
