Dead Fish Kill from Blue Algae

As some of you may have noticed at my neighborhood pond we recently had the worst thing possible that happened in the neighborhood pond where I have lived 11 years.

At the beginning of last week I noticed two dead fish and later in the week more had died because of this mess called blue algae and blue algae is common in ponds and lakes during summer.

The smell of the dead fish was horrifying and very stinky. I could not believe how stinky dead fish acutely smelled. I was very shocked with all the fish around the pond. This is probably the biggest fish kill I have ever seen.

The water turtles we have in our pond here, do not eat blue algae instead the breathe oxygen and go back in the water and come back out again.

A few days later people from where we got these fish came out and started collecting all the dead fish which are gone now.

Hopefully this never happens again in my neighborhood pond.

Step into Nature # 10

Welcome back to another post on my blog for this weeks Step into Nature. Let's see what adventures of the post we are going to do for this weeks Step into Nature. This a Tri- Colored Heron, Which I photographed at Pickney Wildlife Refuge while I was on vacation way back in Hilton Head. The Tri- Colored Herons a very cool waterfowl to photograph and they have different color variants compared to the Great Blue Herons found in Central North Carolina, where I live. If you have a chance to find TriColor Herons you should photograph them and they are just like the other waterfowl that can be found in central North Carolina . This is a Jellyfish, which I photographed at Myrtle Beach during sunset conditions. The photograph came out really cool. Jelly Fish are very interesting subjects to photograph at local beaches. I decided to use the jelly fish as my subject for this photograph during sunset conditions. This was also taken at Myrtle Beach when i was on vacation in 2019. T...

Turtle Behaviors Already!!

As you can see from the photos below, I was able to capture turtle behavior. These pond sliders were very use to people around Anderson Park. As you can see the turtles were fighting to sun on the same rock. They made quite the pair together to photograph. This was a very fun day to watch animal behavior in the wild. As you can see the turtles cooperated together and made peace to each other to sun together on this rock.
