This is a good example of eutrophication. It looks kind of cool, but it's very unhealthy for the ecosystem depending on the body of water. The next day, I went back to this site and the park staff had started to cut all these plants out of the stream so it could flow as water again.
Eutrophication is an increase of nutrients in the water, which SOUNDS like a good thing, but it encourages the growth of algae and plants, which eventually cover the surface of the water, and block the oxygen from getting in. The fish and other organisms die from lack of oxygen, fertilizing the plant growth. Over a long period of time, a pond or lake could turn into a swamp and then a meadow. This is a natural process that happens regardless of human interference. But people cause this process to happen more rapidly and more frequently because of the laundry detergents we use (phosphorus) and the fertilizers we use (nitrogen). These elements wash into our water systems and hasten eutrophication. Hope I have that little science lesson right. LOL

A stream in PEI leading to the beach. A heron hides on the far shore. The red sand comes from a high soil concentration of iron oxide.
Stood squarely in the stream for this shot - paranoid about dropping my kit. Happy I did as it turned out really nice.
A beautiful young lady I had the pleasure to shoot in the warm winter sun. She is also a very talented ballerina, so we have planned a shoot for the near future with this theme. I am very much looking forward to it!

A long exposure of a little stream we found near the road. The foliage here was about the best we could find.
This group of uploaded images are from West Sikkim where we were based in the small town of Pelling. Early dawn skies over the Kangchendzonga mountain range of the Himalayas couldn't resist my camera lens with their ever changing cloud formations.
Yesterday evening, the stream was making more noise than I have before heard from it. I went down with the compact camera and got a few shots of it, higher and faster than I have ever seen it. The snow was melting off the hills very quickly. The temperature had been in the 40's and 50's all day, with a breeze blowing to increase the melting. There is flooding downstream today, we are hearing on the news.
Third time lucky. This was my third attempt at a having a little stroll in the mountains this fall. The first two times I was thwarted by all the rock slides that happened after the heavy rain in July. But the trails on Fukuchi mountain have more or less been reestablished so we were able to enjoy a beautiful day.
It is hard to believe that this little trickle of water could swell and cause all the mass wasting in the next image.
North Georgia stream
These pictures are of North Georgia early spring, though it still looks like winter. They were all taken on my brother's property in Cherokee County. A lot of Cherokee, which is close enough to Atlanta to be considered a suburb, is covered in dense subdivisions.
