ABC Wednesday begins again!

A is for...

ALGAE!
Look at all the algae in the pond.
I went out to take some pictures and the pond is iced over, so these pictures are from the summer when we could see some algae.
The boys were pollywog and frog hunting for fun.
The ducks were just cruising.
Wikipedia has info on algae!
Have a wonderful Wednesday.

Our goose, Jo has an eye defect which was caused by algae. This is why I ensure he has a bucket of clean water every day. He loves to push his head under water and have a good shake.

Nice pics.Algae serves a very important role in the aquatic food chain, just so long as it doesn't take the whole pond over.

My first ABC is up at Siani's Pot-Pourri.
