Bleu sur le Lac D'Annecy (France)
La couleur des eaux des lacs peut varier du bleu jusqu’au vert et au marron, voire au rouge. Ce sont les molécules autres que l’eau ou les particules présentes qui expliquent les variations de couleur et de transparence des eaux des lacs. Celles-ci répondent essentiellement à la nature et à la concentration des algues microscopiques. Elles constituent un indicateur synthétique et rapide de la qualité des lacs.
Blue on Lake Annecy (France)
The colour of lake waters can vary from blue to green and brown or even red. It is molecules other than water or particles present that explain the variations in colour and transparency of lake water. These variations are mainly due to the nature and concentration of microscopic algae. They constitute a synthetic and rapid indicator of the quality of lakes.
Slough adjacent to the salt ponds and marshes of Don Edwards Refuge has a periodic uptick in Halobacterium and microscopic algae that thrives in briny water. As the salt level goes up, they get stressed and produce this red color.
The bird picking it's meal at the confluence of blue and the pink salty water makes for a very mesmeric and hypnotic scene.
I did capture a few and will post it later. I hope to have more such encounters and capture a few more of these under such circumstances.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
tiny new sprouts coming up after an intentional fire burn... i found a fascinating little world crawling around in the blackened dirt.
much better here

Protozoan, organism, usually single-celled and heterotrophic (using organic carbon as a source of energy), belonging to any of the major lineages of protists and, like most protists, typically microscopic.

These truly microscopic fungi were growing inside a nut shell. The biggest ones are about 1-1.5 mm in height and cap diameter, but appear like proper mushrooms just shrunk to microscopic proportions. Don't know the ID for sure, but it fits the description of Hymenoscyphus fructigenus species that specialises in growing on various nut shells, acorns etc. Amazing world of fungi at any scale!

ODC-Microscopic
This little Jumping Spider watched me intently as I took its photo. I won't touch this little guy If these spiders feel trapped they can bite through human skin and their sting is painful.
Explore what is invisible to the eye, from the microscopic world to the vastness of outer space. This photo was taken inside the Brazil, in a place where light pollution is minimal. Two exhibitions, one for the sky and one for the waterfall. The result of the union of these images leads me to think how small we are in front of it.

Man Made Virus.
I've often thought that Riley's ball looked like a virus at a microscopic level. I spotted it earlier and thought I could do something with it.
Standard hand set up with the beauty dish above and flash on the floor Nikon 20mm on the Sony.
I started the exposure which triggered the flashes and replaced the lens cap. I swapped to the 28-70mm and placed the www.lightpaintingbrushes.com black fibers gelled blue in front of the camera. I zoom pulled them 3 times and replaced the lens cap. I swapped back to the Nikon and swapped tripods to Riley's toy ball in the kitchen, back-lit with a torch.

I finally had the opportunity to put my R6 on a Leica microscope. The subject was pond water and I was looking at a slide that was almost dry. It was still awesome to see the shapes and colors left in the drying water drop.
A Christmas Day stroll with the camera I mean family, found this old bit of binder twine with lichen growing on it. I could have spent an age on the old fence posts, but I was holding the rest of the family up, not to worry.
Thanks for stopping

Calathea belongs to a group of tropical plants in the Arrowroot Family Marantaceae. They are popular houseplants due to their varied and decorative foliage and in some species, colorful inflorescences. The common name "prayer plant" comes from the way the foliage on the plants turns upward in the evening like a pair of hands folded in prayer.
Algae (microscopic small plants) live in the sea and foam algae is the cause of sea foam. When the colony of foam algae dies, protein is released which is then whipped up by the waves. Like milk from a cappuccino. The amount of foam can be enormous, especially in the spring.

In my Tiny Worlds Collection, these naturally occurring colorless crystals are colored by polarization above and below the sample (Nomarski illumination). They are approximately 250 microns long.
The last of my submissions in this short series of microscopic images of some of the structures found in various fungi. Thanks to all of my friends, who have epxressed an interest and an appreciation of the images in this rather obscure series. I appreciate it very much. Maybe I'll post some of the images in this collage individually in the future, with some explanation, but for now, I'll call it a day.
