What is going on with the Lucy Park Pond???

A few months ago the pond started to turn green, we thought it was just leaves that had blown into the pond, but eventually the green took over the entire pond. We had a good week of rain and the green seemed to disappear, but slowly it made it’s reappearance below are some pictures I took today.

The stuff is so thick these two Styrofoam cups didn’t sink!

A close up of the green stuff.

Update this AM: as I was leaving for work this morning Parks and Rec was dragging the pond, but I'm not sure exactly why and I couldn't stick around to see what they were going to do. Still plan on calling and going home for lunch to see what the pond looks like in the afternoon. I also had someone from my Twitter followers tell me it looked like duck weed. I thought he was playing a Snoop Dog joke on me lol :) I Googled "duck weed" and it turns out it's some kind of protein that is good for ducks to eat. Go figure.
