Have you ever seen algae bloom?

When I got to the visitor's center for work yesterday, I noticed a new color on the pond.

The green algae had suddenly turned a rose color. I'm thinking this is called an algae bloom. I asked Annmarie, the biologist, but she wasn't certain, but thought it probably was.

It certainly was colorful. What a contrast from the greens of the woods.

I had 26 folks come into the visitor's center today. That has to be a record number! I even sold several items in the gift shop this weekend. Having people stop sure does help with the boredom. When I compare this to the 200 visitors a day and $1000 in sales I did on Tuesdays at Pea Island NWR, it's sad, but hopefully visitation is on the rise.

I'm pretty well organized to head for Chicago tomorrow. I'm hoping to be on the road shortly after seven.

Thanks for stopping by....talk to you later, Judy
