Aqua fresh seaweed

Don't forget****** "Silly Tuesday" ******where you can post anything that is silly, funny, daft or just makes you laugh!!!
For those of you that don't know the origin of Silly Tuesday here is a bit if a run down....It started on this day. My thoughts were as follows......
Monday is the start of the week...
Wednesday is the middle of the week.....
Thursday is nearly Friday and Friday is the start of the weekend:-)
I know some people work weekends as I am one of them:-)
But its still the weekend BUT......
What is Tuesday???? Its just a Silly Day that means nothing....so thats where ST came from:-)
Join in the Silliness:-)
Love Silly Mama:-)
If you post on ST then leave a link on my page then others get to see your silliness:-)

Nice seaweed !! In Pembrokeshire where I come from it´s a delicacy.Boiled for several hours,shredded then mixed with oats and fried with bacon and Cockles.It´s called Laverbread or Bara Lawr in Welsh.

Is the kelp harvested there? My mother-in-law used to use it in her garden, but I know it is eaten as Anthony mentioned.

Stunning picture! I love the color of the water. Very tempting to want to jump in, but I'll bet there are really big fish (read: sharks) in it!

I love the way our seas change colour and then produce something as special as this. A lovely capture.

I'm there, dipping my toes and sipping on a glass of something long and cool. Gorgeous colours and the gentle folds of the seaweed are so attractive. Beautifully observed

hi C, love this but if you cropped it so there was half the sea above the weed, this would be a fabulous abstract!

Wonderful shot with catchy colours. The transparency of the water is so inviting for a swim...

Fancy a swim. Why do you have the colour schemes under your photos?

@Bro: Hay Bro good to see you! If you go to Am3 at the top of the page and then click on 'settings' under 'account' you can change all sorts of things to suit you, including the colour schemes thingy! Also Bro, your name is not being highlighted when you post a comment....this means i can't clic on your name nor can anyone else, to get to your blog. When you clic to make a comment on someones page, check that your aminus3 address comes up correctly. This happened to me and I just had to delete a / from the end of the address. Check in FAQ under 'comments' question 'why is there no link to my page when I post a comment on another blog?' Hope this makes sense Bro. happy snapping:-)

I love the way the seaweed moves with the current and the water is so blue! We've got a lot of seaweed these days and the locals return home with bags full of the stuff :)

Eeeewwwww!!!! Just thinking about the slippery feel of seaweed between my toes makes me a bit queasy. I love the contrasting colors and textures in this image, though.

Nice colors. Is it unusual to have so much seaweed? Looks nice in the water.
