Zygnematales
Spotted on the ground of a dry pond nearby, all the members of this group develop into unbranched filaments, one cell thick, which grow longer through normal cell division. Most live in freshwater, and form an important component of the algal scum that grows on or near plants, rocks, and various debris.
Mostly freshwater

thank you, dedes
Thank you, arlanda...being beautiful in their special way, i really couldn't decide. Personally I like the 2nd most, but the current 1st shows best that it's an alga, the third might confuse a bit on a thumbnail
nice spotting
I like very much the third pic.
