I was driving past Bicentennial Park at Rockdale last week and noticed that these algal blooms have covered a large proportion of the ponds here. The unusual green cover looks picturesque but I don't believe that it would be particularly good for the ponds and wildlife in the area.
in some Hallo, we have the same problem in some waters here in summer. have a nice week!
ReplyDeleteAlgae in large proportion are detrimental to aquatic ecology of the park. Nice pics.
ReplyDeleteGives the lake a weird appearance - wonder what the ducks think about it
ReplyDeleteThat first shot look like the top of a bath of water lol
i do hope that there's not much bad affecting the ponds and the wildlife by the algae. Nice captures!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Matires, I hope it does not affect the wildlife that is in the ponds. Great photos.
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful, relaxing place. great shots!
ReplyDeleteLove it. Hazy lazy summer days :-)
ReplyDelete... Visit my contribution "Martha's Vineyard Sunset"
When I see this green I always think it needs to rain - a lot. :)
ReplyDeleteThe ducks don't seem to mind.
Nice shots.
Though algae may have ill effects, the photos are great!
ReplyDeleteYou are right, our posts are quite similar today, both green and both featuring reflections. Love all the lushness.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting http://ewok1993.wordpress.com
The algae growth must have some negative effect on the lake. But those are nice frames.
ReplyDeleteThe green is nice - does add to the photo :)
ReplyDeleteGreat shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and for visiting me too
Have a nice day

It certainly looks good, but I'm sure it's not welcome. Except that I read they can now make Green Oil out of algae!
ReplyDeleteGreat place to relax . Excellent photo.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful place and nice photos!:-)
ReplyDeleteNice scenery. The green colour is a lovely contrast but I don´t like algae in my pond.
ReplyDeleteJim, were you and Ewok took photos in the same place? Haha. As usual very nice place to visit!
ReplyDeleteit looks like grass, algaes are everywhere at the moment it seems
ReplyDeleteInteresting water worlds at Rockdale! So long since I visited there! All I remember are lots of old homes being renovated hugging the line of coast!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad to see, its spreading anywhere. I just hope that can be stopped from spreading more..
ReplyDeleteGreat shots
A great place to visit.Pity about the green algae. It does look good though.
ReplyDeleteWe have had none stop rain for over a month and that can't be good either. Wish we could share it!
Nuts in May
AL, the two places are so far apart across the world but look so similar.
ReplyDeleteSo hard to imagine algae this time of year for us in NC! I want to be at that park and jump into your photo on this cold and rainy inclement weather day!
ReplyDeleteI have seen similar blooms in shallow waters here, also.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit!
Beautiful scenery and a great place to spend the day.
ReplyDeleteI can just feel the warmth in those lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo.
ReplyDeleteAlgae seems to be a problem in many parks and waterways.
ReplyDeleteA lovely set of photos.

Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteIn Borneo, we got some of these algea to feed our ducks.
ReplyDeleteMum wasn't organic or anything, she just wanted to keep her cost low.
No it is not good for the pond - hope all work out well before everything will die in the pond.
