Beautiful picture !!!!!
Mmmm...breakfast ! Nice algae shot. Guess I'll have to take a closer look in my greenhouse too. What do you grow in your greenhouse? I grow orchids and tropicals.
Very cool capture Andrea. looks like the beginnings of a Soylent Green meal

Algal scum? How did you get these politicians to pose for you? A stunning image. Could very well be a fractal. It has a wonderful sci-fi quality to it.
Great capture that is sure a wild looking green color...color reminds me of Granny Smith apples..only a tad deeper color Hugs Susan
Fantastic capture,
I was thinking pond scum algae but this beautiful specimen was in a bucket. All the better to move it around for the best lighting and limited chances of falling in! :o)
Wow! Scum rises to art!
Wonderful shot I think I prefer the Flicker shot, don't know why.
cool capture !
Wow that is some cool stuff amazing shot of this gotta go watch the video now.
A fascinating image.
OMG! You've got euglenas in your greenhouse!? Those things are not as easy to come across as one might expect! Either that or they just aren't that keen on the Midwestern United States...oh, actually, they are, but they're not that keen on Chicago. I'd recognize this shade of green anywhere. Call me weird, but I like the smell of it too. And to top it off, you provided a link! I loved looking at it as it brought back my childhood; I laughed at the idea (and fact) or torpid flagellates, but what beautiful eyespots they have! Such crisp, viridian (which is where they get their name, I suppose.) A marvel on multiple levels. I think I need to invest in a microscope with camera attachments. There's a whole world (in a teacup) out there!
