Another view of the calm lagoon separated from the rough surf by a wall of algae. Note the ducks taking it easy, not having to deal with the waves.
Terrestrial algae. Nostoc is a genus of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) that swells up when wet, but is much less visible when dry. Various colloquial names e.g. star jelly, witch butter.

This is a tiny little pond on a Nature Preserve that I haven't visited since last spring (when it was breathtakingly beautiful in all its green finery!). www.flickr.com/photos/sparky2/2956550/
At present, the water levels are wayyyyyy down and the shaded end is covered in a thick, briney algae...but I've never seen so many birds and critters in such a concentrated area. So many changes lately in our local habitats; I'll definitely be watching to see what's happening here...

This is the outbuilding of our new house. Isn't it lovely? It's going to be the most fabulous utility room though, trust me!
This fish has changed into a golden algae eater and has almost doubled in size. A good tank cleaner, spends most of his time suckered on to the glass eating the algae. Apparently these can show aggression when older, but mine has been fine for over a year and a half now. Time will tell!
