While visiting my hometown of Springdale NL, I collected a sample of water from a small stream, where, among other observations mentioned in other posts, I observed an algae unlike any I&#x27;d seen in my studies, or personal adventures. The algae appeared to form lovely circular colonies from elongated, slim individual cells. Observations were made at 140x magnification with additional digital zoom. <img class="ql-image" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/post_media%2F5k6WZbVUKUfKnmVnClqozYAwYFy2%2FJhqSKPmnc8dXrYT1NOtC%2Fcnml1d87h8_IMG_7488.jpeg?alt=media&amp;token=25b50c8e-ac10-477e-8d3c-a90c42a7f9cc"/><img class="ql-image" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/post_media%2F5k6WZbVUKUfKnmVnClqozYAwYFy2%2FJhqSKPmnc8dXrYT1NOtC%2Fxhue1jmyyp_IMG_7488%20zoom%20of%20partial%20cell.jpeg?alt=media&amp;token=2d22711b-69b4-44b5-9f1c-a26785490184"/><img class="ql-image" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/post_media%2F5k6WZbVUKUfKnmVnClqozYAwYFy2%2FJhqSKPmnc8dXrYT1NOtC%2Ffhr4w7bubd_IMG_7488%20zoom%20od%20individual%20cell.jpeg?alt=media&amp;token=36dc844a-db26-4f50-909d-b38adbd57e79"/> <img class="ql-image" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/post_media%2F5k6WZbVUKUfKnmVnClqozYAwYFy2%2FJhqSKPmnc8dXrYT1NOtC%2Fqvt22a3ppm_IMG_7484.jpeg?alt=media&amp;token=ed46539c-5f4e-40a9-81ef-dfb1680135db"/>
