Beautiful composition Bill. The colors are magnificent. I would have never thought algae for the red color. I always think of algae as green. Keep them coming. I am curious to see what happens in the fall. #6245257

Bill Knaps July 29, 2008

Thank you Janet. You can look at my earlier photos and the Algae was green. It did not turn red last year. I did not know if when or if ever that would happen again until this day when I went out to the bayou. I was so amazed and happy. Bill #6245273
