I was so fascinated with the algae on the swamp. It was a brilliant green and the way the sunlight was reflecting off of it, it looked a bit like fabric.
I have to give props to Celia for most of these pics as I wasn't in the proper artistic form...
A thorn among the flowers???
This crane was on the prowl for something to eat and he (or she) was moving his legs so slowly, it looked like it was mechanical.
This pretty baby was right next to us on the path watching us pass. We are so privileged in Lake County to have so much open space that is owned by the Forest Preserve. I just read in the paper they acquired another huge parcel of land to keep as open space which is much needed in this area of urban sprawl.

It's hard to tell from your picture, but I think what you're calling the algae may in fact be duckweed. It's not algae, but the smallest flowering plant in the world, and ducks like to eat it!
I saw the picture and was going to say that it is infact duckweed, but it looks like Catie already beat me to it.
