I can't appreciate this unless it's at the largest size.

Algae growth in the summer on Grenadier Pond in High Park, Toronto on Aug 16, 2009

When you see a little pond algae growing in your pond, do not automatically assume that an algae removal treatment is needed. There are water test kits you can use that will help determine what kind of pond algae you have and whether or not there is too much of it. Also, you need to be aware of the fact that pond algae levels will always rise naturally in the springtime. This is normal and nothing to be concerned about.

Algae of different shapes and sizes and colors...

Found at Carmel Pt., Monterey Co., CA; 16 Mar 2008.

photo was taken at Rosedown Plantation in St.Francisville, La. Eventual ownership of this property was by a woman who came from humble beginning's "Humble Oil" that is. Better known today as ExxonMobil. Find it facinating that what I called pond scum as a child (algae) has future potential for clean energy , and being researched by "pardon this" one oil slick corporation. Upon reflection may need to reevaluate what I reference the word scum to.

At the end of the pond you can see the algal layer that is forming. This is surprising considering that Texas is dry and needs rain.

This is at Pescadero Beach

This was a pleasure to watch. The algae swaying in the current. The water surprizingly high and clear.
