Brian, aka Bushboy, posted his monthly Last on the Card prompt, where he asks us to…

• Post the last photo from your camera’s SD card or the last photo from your phone taken in the month of February.
• No editing — who cares if it is out of focus, not framed as you would like, or the subject matter didn’t cooperate?
• No explanations needed — just the photo will do.
• Create a pingback to Brian’s post or link in the comments.
• Use the tags “The Last Photo” and #LastOnTheCard.”

As most of you know, I built a waterfall in my backyard. Well, I didn’t build a waterfall, I had a contractor who specializes in building backyard waterfalls build it to my specifications.

I took these two photos below on Wednesday and sent them to the waterfall contractor because the rocks and stones are suddenly covered by an orange slime and my formerly sparkling clear waterfall looks, well, yucky.

The waterfall guy got back to me and said that with all of the rain we’ve had so far this year, a lot of string algae is forming in the ponds and streams around here and that’s what is growing in my waterfall. He said that there is a powdered “algae-buster” I can add to the water three to four times a year to retard the growth of algae and I can powerwash the rocks and stones to remove the surface algae.

Great. One more item on my spring to-do list.
