9-13-12 Shelburne Pond Kayaking

Shelburne Pond is a place I have visited before and only kayaked once.  It was a beautiful day and I decided to branch out.
 The water was a bit rough with some solid winds.  The craziest thing was the green algae (I think that was what it was) just hovering under the surface.  It looks like it had metallic flakes and just glimmered in the sun.
 When I dipped my paddles it would put these crazy patterns into it.
 It was rather surreal to drift silently over the green watching it shift and eddy behind me.
I know for green algae part of the danger is it blocks light from going into the water for other plant life.  This was so think I can see why.  Oh evasive species...
