Collected from a tank containing only a marimo moss ball. Therefore, I believe that the species of the algae is Aegagropila linnaei, but that might not be the case.

Eastern Redcedar (Juniperus virginiana)Observer
tanakawilliam_112Description
There were two Eastern Red Cedars growing within a couple of feet from each other. One cedar was 20 to 25 feet tall, and the other cedar was 25 to 30 feet tall. The branches and needles mixed together so that they almost looked like one tree. The trees were covered with snow, and the snow continued to fall as I took pictures.
