I went to Brown's Bay to see what was growing under the marina this spring. This apparent impressionist painting is a community of seaweeds has settled on an underwater pipe, swaying in the current.

Did you find the mussel "teeth"? Look near the top. They're actually the scalloped edge of the fleshy mantle.
More underwater photos tomorrow.

Fui a Brown's Bay para ver que está creciendo debajo de los flotadores de la marina esta primavera. Esta foto, que se parece a una pintura impressionista, en realidad muestra una comunidad de algas marinas que se han adherido a un tubo bajo el agua en movimiento. Se ven aquí algas rojas, algas verdes "lechuga marina", "dientes" de un mejillón, y algunas anémonas blancas.
¿Encontraste los "dientes" del mejillón? Busca cerca del borde superior de la foto. Son los bordes ondulados del manto del animal.
Anémonas y más, mañana.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
