Move it or lose it, geese!
We have a problem. Don't know what it is yet, but definitely not good.
Google Lens thinks it may be some kind of algae, or industrial waste. Good heavens, there is no industry within twenty miles of here, so probably algae. Now, how to get rid of it?
These vultures showed up a couple of weeks ago. (no algae then) I see them daily now, and I don't understand the attraction. There isn't anything dead out there that I have seen, but who knows what lurks out there in the tall grass.
Can I blame them for this red stuff? (HA HA)
Have a great week, y'all!

Keep us updated on this redness in the pond. That's strange looking. Nature has a way of cleaning itself, so that's a good thing. Love this photo of the horse and geese. Such a delightful one.
Happy June Terri!
Sometimes gulls return to the soccer field out back. Then they go away for awhile before picking up the habit again.
Wish I had some advice for the algae problem. We have vultures around the farm all the time. I think they are just waiting for something to happen.
Have no idea what could cause that algae. Like the horse and the geese picture.
I love your photos of the horse 🐎 and geese. That redness looks strange.
I love your blog background and header photos.
Looks like some kind of algae to me, but I have no idea what kind or how to get rid of it!
Perhaps small water inhabitants that died off in mass...hope you find out. Cute that the horse herds geese:)
it's sad when you have to "hope" it is algae. the reflection of the horse is beautiful!! i have missed seeing you!!
I asked Google AI and got this answer. might give you a starting place and I hope it is natural and not a problem.
The reddish color in the scene likely results from iron-rich groundwater reaching the surface and oxidizing, a process that can be further influenced by bacteria.Similar phenomena occur in geothermal mud pots, where minerals and microorganisms create distinct colored landscapes.While sometimes mistaken for pollution, this orange-red coloration is often a natural geological or biological process.
Oh dear ... the red doesn't look good ... hope you will be able to find out what it is.
I do like the horse and geese photograph.
All the best Jan

I can't find an email address for you to reply to your nice comment you made on my blog: Woodland Junction. So thought I'd give you a thanks on yours. Sometimes I find it hard to keep up with my one blog, how the heck do you manage to have more than one and keep them active. Thanks for the visit and the comment.
