A work of art nature is smart

Note: "Lake Hillier in Western Australia is
bubble-gum-pink and it's literally just a few
steps away from a 'normal' colored Southern
Ocean. Scientists speculate that it’s color is
caused by a reaction of sea salt and sodium
bicarbonate and/or caused by red halophilic
bacteria in the salt crusts"  -  Real Toads

Wonder of wonders what of it here

Appearing chewy as a chewing gum biggie

Seen from above but a body of water

Two of a kind in the world just plain crazy

Scientists have an explanation obviously

Algae beneath, bacteria-like creatures perhaps

For the carotene blessed colors seem uncanny

Something’s got to give and that was that

Strangely enough when samples were taken

Hues of color seen just as plain as any lake water

What of it then at the bottom causing the hindrance

Weird still, assurances given to swim in it not a bother

Plainly a work of art and nature is smart
Blushing pink a little girl's privilege
A phenomena leaving many mystified

For nature works in very strange ways
