Again, a beautiful diatom, golden and gorgeous, but I'm only guessing at its name.
My best guess: Pennate Diatom. Am I close?

I would say a Gyrosigma or a Pleurosigma but thats mostly because of the shape.

@FrankBrouwer - thanks for that! It is really beautiful.
For some reason, my outdoor "life collectors" are pretty boring; mostly some sort of algae spores (I'm guessing) and little tiny black lifeforms. Nothing exotic. Maybe more in spring? Summer for sure! LOL! but no diatoms at all, unless they're hiding from me.
