It was 10:30am and already baking. Though it was only 85F, my shirt was drenched and I had slowed to a walk several times. So it must have been pretty humid, too. But, the heat didn't stop dozens of other joggers either, so I didn't feel singularly foolish.
My new cell sports a 1.3 megapixel camera. Since I've been wanting to finally learn all the trees around Almaden Lake--I've been going there for 13 years after all--and literature about them is posted near the picnic gazebo, the phone pulled double-duty today. Three miles, pictures later...
SolarBee floating in Almaden Lake
SolarBees aerate the water to prevent methylmercury production by anerobic organisms living on the bottom. There are four SolarBees in the lake now at a cost of around $45,000 apiece.The first one was installed on May 20, 2006. They're also found in the Almaden and Guadalupe reservoirs. For more on what they're about, see the July 13, 2009 post, "SolarBees and methylmercury."
