Stagnant water
We have only had a couple of recent rains and none of great consequence. Prior to that we were about 6 weeks without. These images are from a pretty stagnant stream that is flowing but has a good quantity of duckweed and alga coating it.

Re: Stagnant water
Apochronaut, I find the second image truly impressive! I have never seen the "Spira" individual chloroplasts.
Well done.

Re: Stagnant water
Thanks, Jim. I find myself always searching chloroplasts out. It's due to reverence I suppose. They are the most perfect and efficient little factories on earth, to which we owe our existence. When I was a child, I used to stare at algae in ditches in the spring, mesmerized by it. It was the first sign of life after winter, aside from the birds.

Very nice images and excellent sharpness of the second image. Impressed!
