Zigzag Bladderwort (Utricularia subulata) - Whites Bog, The Pine Barrens, Pemberton, New Jersey
Many bladderworts grow webs of bladders that support them in the water, but this little guy likes damp, sandy soil barely above the water table, and grows rooted in that sandy substrate. It's parasitic "bladders" are below the surface of the sand so you won't see them unless you pull one up by the "roots", but if you poke about a bit in the sand you can see it's minute, long, slender leaves borne on basal branches hidden in the wet sand.
It also likes an acidic environment so the tannin rich waters of the Pine Barrens are idea for this litlle guy that doesn't amount to much more than a spindley reddish stalk about he diameter of a pin which is usually no more than 2 inches tall with the occasional specimen reaching a stately height of almost 3 inches!
I found these guys growing alongside a multitude of Spoon-leaved Sundew (also parasitic), along side an abandoned piece of road that got deep enough into the water table to force traffic to find an alternate route.
A bit of the science on how their trap works
Their trap is created by the semipermeable membrane in their bladder walls that uses osmotic pressure to pump water out of their bladders thereby creating a vacuum. The prey is then sucked into the bladder when it touches the trigger hairs that surround the trapdoor of the bladder. Naturally, since the vacuum is created by osmosis (which is driven by the expulsion of dissolved salts through the semipermeable membrane in their bladder walls) these guys can only survive where there are sufficient dissolved salts in the water to create enough vacuum for their bladders to function. Too much salt is also a problem, so they need very specific concentrations of salts in the water, and will often grow in very specific places (even within the same body of water) depending on the flow patterns of the salt concentrations within their environment.
Note:
Remember that calcium carbonate is a salt, so bladderworts are not restricted to brackish water environments and can also grow in "fresh" water that is high in calcium (i.e. hard water), though in the case of the bladderworts the water would have to be very "hard" to provide enough osmotic pressure for them to survive.

I'm a little ashamed that I've lived downtown so long and never gone into the creepy old buildings that are now artist lofts.
*UNDISCLOSED LOCALE*
Constructed circa 1915 to serve a rapidly growing area of the city, this school is considered one of the oldest in the country. A major expansion took place in the mid 1960's which added a wing of classrooms, a vocational education wing, and a large gymnasium. However at this time the neighborhood was already starting to decline due to the loss of industry and "white flight"
Though the school continued to persevere, by the 2000's it has become clear that the student body was still shrinking, the result of further neighborhood decline as well as the opening of charter schools. With the top floor closed and an entire wing partitioned off, less then 40 percent of the campus was in use by 2013, and the decision was made to close the school and move the remaining students to nearby facilities.
Introducing our newest pet - ZigZag the green anole.
He jumped right at the first cricket we offered him and immediately began to turn brown.

Local climbing legend and climbing guidebook writer Niall Grimes climbing the new boulder with none of the grace expected from someone who draws lines on pictures of rock for a living. Hopefully he'll do a guid for the boulder!

Zigzag is the name of the community, the store, the postoffice, the river, and the Mt. Hood glacier which is appropriate for the roof too.
