Beautiful light when the setting sun was reflecting yellow off the white wall outside.

Macro Mondays, July 20/26: Translucent.
This is a water colour on clear plastic to make a miniature "stained glass" window decoration. Backlit with daylight coming in the window. Thanks to Donna for permission to use it.
The image is just under 7 cm across.

I love the look of cherries. The translucent quality of this little group plus the fine cottonwood fluff that had landed on them just made them so appealing to me. Large really shows the details if you've time.
Thank you!

“Oak And Granite, Autumn” — Autumn leaves of black oak trees against a background of Yosemite Valley granite cliffs.
I like oak trees and oak leaves, but they do not generally provide the most intense fall color. In normal light the leaves are a sort of tan-brown that I like to charitably call “golden-brown.” They aren’t normally as spectacular as other leaves that turn golden, orange, and red. However, when the sun is behind the tree, the leaves are translucent enough to glow with rich, warm color.
I went to this location in Yosemite Valley with a plan to photograph some large trees standing in an open meadow. When I arrived, as expected, the shadow from the cliffs across the valley were staring to move across the meadow, and trees were gradually losing that colorful glow. Standing under this tree, I looked up and saw the silhouetted branches and luminous color. I quickly set up to photograph straight into the tree and managed a few photographs before the shadow arrived.
The ribbon that was on one of the Christmas cakes my sister made for us.
lenswrangler helped a bit, by telling us that back light might be the way to go.
Not so easy to do in our apartment, until I thought of sticking the ribbon to the patio door with some Blue-Tac.
Once I'd got a photo, I couldn't measure exactly how big it was, so have cropped to a ratio of 1:1 for the group rules.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
A small bug encased in a piece of amber, with a side light. A present, that we find rather spooky and it lives in a drawer! Taken out for the Macro Mondays translucent theme.

The subject is a Himalayan salt candle holder. Any supposed properties involving negative ions have been thoroughly debunked, but it looks cool. (Remind me to get a fresh tealight next time I go down to the kitchen. This photographed flame is a match stick stuck into the old wax.)

Flickr Friday Theme 3 June 2022.
My lovely frosted translucent glass cake plate. It's circular and flat, with a leaf-vein pattern molded onto the underside, and four tiny glass feet. I've had it since 1970 and it has enjoyed many sweet uses. Pavlovas, Chocolate cakes, Birthday cakes, Christmas cakes, muffins, cup cakes and more. It doesn't come out often however, when it does, it's quite the star of the show.

Thought all of you in the deep south blizzard could use some extra heat...
I’m not a native Texan, but anyway, here goes:
Texas Chili
No Beano
2 dried ancho chilies
2 dried guajillo chilies
2 chipotle chilies in adobo sauce
1 tbsp Mexene chili powder
6 cloves fresh garlic
1/2 cup beef stock
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp brown sugar
4 Strips thick cut bacon
1 1/2 pounds boneless beef short ribs cut into 1” cubes
Kosher salt/ground black pepper
1 red onion - fine dice
1 sweet onion - fine dice
1/2 red bell pepper - roasted, peeled, fine dice
12 oz Texas beer
1 tbsp ground cumin
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 bay leaves
2 Roma tomatoes (canned) hand crushed
Toast the ancho and guajillo chilies in a dry skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until fragrant and lightly smoking. Pour enough boiling water to submerge chilies in a covered bowl and steep for 30 minutes. Drain completely.
Place rehydrated chilies, chipotle, chili powder, garlic, beef stock, vinegar and brown sugar in blender and puree thoroughly.
Season beef cubes well with salt and pepper. Cut the bacon into 1/2” lardons and render over low heat in cast iron Dutch oven. Remove and reserve the cooked bacon. Sear the beef cubes in batches in the bacon fat. Once all beef has been seared, remove and reserve. Sauté onions in the same pot until softened and translucent. Add the bell pepper and continue to cook. Return the beef and bacon back to the pot. Reduce heat to low.
Add the chili paste mixture to the pot
Add all remaining ingredients and simmer on low for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Do not add any beans lest you be shunned and scorned.
Spotted this single translucent fungi in a field in Ahimate Reserve, Palmerston North. I was fascinated by it's transparency, patterns and shape.
17 image stack with helicon focus. Had to shelter it from the breeze but magaged to get a successful stack in the end!
I'm completely stumped about this little guy's identification. I took the photo because I liked the way he was backlit, but when I wanted to get a good look at him, he was gone in a flash. If anyone knows, please contact me.
Translucent in the bright morning sun. Memories of autumn (this was taken exactly a month ago - hard to believe how fast time passes).
