Hi all,

Anyone know what these are?

From Ontario!

I was just walking by the water and wondered what they were.

If I zoom in I lose the detail so it's hard to identify the second one. The first looks like Vallisneria americana.
 
Here are some more of those vals:

These pictures are terrible, but maybe someone will know:

In any case, for some fun I tested some stuff!!! I mean it doesn't tell me much but hey!

Kind of cool:
KH = 80 ppm
GH = 140 ppm
Nitrate/nitrite/ammonia/phosphates = 0
TDS = 150 ish

Interestingly, this is where I try to keep my tank at (aside from the nitrate and phosphate - just because of the daily dosing) -- in my low tech that is what I wanted.

Lots of sunfish in the lake as well and a water snake.
