Every once in a while something changes
And she's changing me
It's too late for me now, I am altered
There is something beneath
She's not acid nor alkaline
Caught between black and white
Not quite either day or night
She's perfectly misaligned
I'm caught up in her design
And how it connects to mine
I see in a different light
The object of my desire
Ooh, let's talk about chemistry
'Cause I'm dying to melt through
To the heart of her molecules
'Til the particles part like holy water
If anything
She's an undiscovered element
Either born in hell or heaven-sent
Either way I'm into it
Hydrangeas is one of my favorite flowers, I planted 3 of them last year, this one is in bloom beautifully. This year, I'm planning to grow a lace-cap species, which is lovely as well. I don't know about you, to me, they're so gorgeous and would last the whole summer. There are about 5 or more species of them.
The colors of the flowers are decided by the soil of your garden, acid ( blue) or alkaline (pinkish).

The Alkaline Ponds are interesting bodies of water east of Mammoth Lakes, California. At our previous workshop we spent a morning and evening here. This view is as we left our vehicles and walked down the depression to one of the ponds.

The Cathedral Cliffs reflect in part of the Swamp Lake Fen near Crandall, Wyoming. This pond at the base of the Catherdral cliffs in the Shoshone National Forest is an unique wetland designated as a Special Botanical Area. The majority of the wetlands are in the Swamp Lake Fen which is a combination of marsh, forest and open water. Fens are peat-forming wetlands that rely on groundwater input. They require thousands of years to develop and cannot easily be restored once destroyed. Swamp Lake Fen is fed by ground water from the limestone Cathedral Cliffs which bound it on the south as shown in the photo. The resulting ground water is enriched with calcium carbonate and is alkaline (pH near or above 8). According to the US Forest Service, alkaline fens are rare and 19 Wyoming Species of Concern are listed at Swamp Lake. (See reference).

"Can I be honest?
I'm getting scared of fading out
Hearing the whispers
They say I'm old news now
All that I've wanted
Is being ripped right out my mouth
Can I be honest? Can I be honest with you?
Is there composure in the pain?
Can I ever find my peace?
Will I ever balance me?
Took the shot without the aim
Hoping I would feel something
Will I ever balance me?
They swore that I'd be fine
But nothing feels right
They swore that I'd be fine
There goes my alkaline
They swore that I'd be fine
But nothing feels right
They swore that I'd be fine
There goes my alkaline
Will you be honest? Am I just inside my head?
Know that I panic, 'cause I'm scared of losing this
Do I sound crazy? Losing faith on accident
Will you be honest? Can you be honest with me?
Is there composure in the pain?
Can I ever find my peace?
Will I ever balance me?
Took the shot without the aim
Hoping I would feel something
Will I ever balance me?
I know that
They said it
They lied and I bought it
They swore that I'd be fine
But nothing feels right
They swore that I'd be fine
There goes my alkaline
Swear that I have been trying to change
Balance got the best of me
Vertigo inside my brain
Dizzy, trying to find some peace
Emotions got the best of me
This alkaline's become my pain
They swore that I'd be fine
But nothing feels right
They swore that I'd be fine
There goes my alkaline
(Swear that I have been trying to change)
(Balance got the best of me)
(Vertigo inside my brain)
(Dizzy, trying to find some peace)
(Emotions got the best of me)
(This alkaline's become my pain)
I know that
They said it
They lied and I bought it"

Tso Moriri or Lake Moriri Tibetan: ལྷ་མོའི་བླ་མཚོ, Wylie: lha mo bla mtsho) or "Mountain Lake", is a lake in the Ladakhi part of the Changthang Plateau (literally: northern plains) in Jammu and Kashmir in northern India. The official name of the land and water reserve here is the Tso Moriri Wetland Conservation Reserve.
The lake is at an altitude of 4,522 m (14,836 ft). It is the largest of the high altitude lakes entirely within India and entirely within Ladakh in this Trans-Himalayan biogeographic region. It is about 16 miles (26 km) north to south in length and two to three miles (3 to 5 km) wide. The lake has no outlet at present and the water is brackish though not very perceptible to taste.[2]
The lake is fed by springs and snow-melt from neighboring mountains. Most water enters the lake in two major stream systems, one entering the lake from the north, the other from the southwest. Both stream systems include extensive marshes where they enter the lake. It formerly had an outlet to the south, but this has become blocked and the lake has become a endorheic lake. The lake is oligotrophic in nature, and its waters are alkaline.
Accessibility to the lake is largely limited to summer season, though Karzok on the northwest shore and the military facilities on the eastern shores have year-round habitation.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsomoriri_Wetland_Conservation_Reserve

The Southern Marsh Orchid or Leopard Marsh Orchid typically grows to between 30 and 50 cm in height although taller specimens up to 70 cm can occur. Southern Marsh Orchid is a chalk-loving species and grows in damp alkaline meadows and in sand dune slacks in full sunshine. Many of these plants were seen on a cliff-top at The Needles on the Isle of Wight.

I had a few comments on my last Mono Lake photo asking exactly what these things are. Let me try to explain this bizarre place. Mono Lake is three times saltier than the ocean, and 100 times more alkaline. There are six rivers that flow into Mono Lake. No rivers flow out. The water just sits there and slowly evaporates. About 50 years ago, LA diverted some of the water flow from those rivers to feed their reservoir. Since then the water level in the lake has been slowly dropping. Below the surface of the lake are thousands of natural springs. When the mineral rich spring water enters the nasty water of the lake, it creates mineral deposits that build up into these these limestone Tufas. All this stuff used to be underwater. As the water slowly evaporates, it reveals all this cool stuff that has been buried under water for thousands of years.

What do you see
Staring at the ceiling?
What would you dream
If you could get to sleep at all?
Said you can't breathe
A choking fear of feeling
Begs you to scream
Each and every nightfall
If you're gonna go, then go
But go with caution
If you're gonna leave
Then leave them holding the bag, yeah
And a rain will come and wash out every place we go
So drink with me now
I'm only terrified when you're letting go
So shake with me now

Lake Van is the largest lake in Turkey, located in the far east of the country in Van district. It is a saline and soda lake, receiving water from numerous small streams that descend from the surrounding mountains. Lake Van is one of the world's largest endorheic lakes (having no outlet). The original outlet from the basin was blocked by an ancient volcanic eruption.
The only fish known to live in the brackish water of Lake Van is Chalcalburnus tarichi (the Pearl Mullet), related to chub and dace, which is caught during the spring floods. In May and June, these fish migrate from the lake to less alkaline water, spawning either near the mouths of the rivers feeding the lake or in the rivers themselves. After the spawning season, they return to the lake.
Numerous species of phytoplankton have been recorded in the lake including flagellates, diatoms, bacteria, cyanobacteria, green algae and brown algae. In 1991, researchers reported the discovery of 40 m (130 ft) tall microbialites in Lake Van. These are solid towers on the lake bed created by mats of coccoid cyanobacteria (Pleurocapsa group) that create aragonite in combination with calcite precipitating out of the lake water.
at Ndutu Lake in the southeastern Serengeti, Tanzania
There were no flamingos in Lake Manyara National Park because of flooding and high water levels. These are bad conditions for the growth of the algae on which they feed.
And on the day trip to Arusha National Park at the start of the trip it was impossible to reach the Momella Lakes after a heavy thunder storm so we did not see the flamingos there.
Obviously we were happy to find many flamingos in Lake Ndutu when reaching the southeastern sector of the Serengeti.
The Lesser Flamingo is the smallest of all flamingo species and lives in Africa south of the Sahara and in northwestern India.
It can be found in alkaline lakes, salt pans and estuaries where it filters blue-green algae from water. Besides foraging in shallow water it also feeds while swimming in deep water
