Default happy St. Patrick's day, algae and polar bears

I've got such a smart pond, it dressed in green for St. Paddy's Day.
Wonder what it will do for Easter.

(or yourself) and celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
They dump green dye in several rivers back east, right?

And your algae fact for the day...

In 1979, three polar bears at the San Diego Zoo turned green.


Scientists discovered that colonies of algae were growing in the bears'
hollow hair shafts.
