Bloom Description
Water seemed fairly clear most of the day until we noticed a lot of green streaks floating along our beach, around 15 feet from the shore. We are 6 houses south of Taughannock State Park and its beach, and we noticed it was closed today. Sorry my pictures aren't so great - I can check tomorrow now that I know what you look for - up close and then wide view.
