I've viewed through my kaleidoscope at my Macromondays screen for #macromondays 'translucent' theme (12-Oct-2020).
..... A glorious dreamy hour on this moody beach in Wilderness, South Africa..... one of my favorite places on Earth!! Collecting memories as my precious Dad watched over me from the cliff above the deserted beach at low tide....
Thanks for your visits :)
Temps dipped below freezing last night, causing the bird bath to freeze over with translucent ice. It made this interesting, almost bird-head like ice formation. It reminds me of a Heron's head. The formation is about 4cm or just over one and a half inches long.
Love that poppies are so paper thin that the sunlight sparkles right through them. Today was a sparkly blue sky full of summer goodness. Thanks for such a fun day Shereen!
MANY THANKS FOR YOUR KIND COMMENTS AND FAVS........ PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT MY PHOTOSTREAM, FOR GENERAL PHOTOS OF NATURE ACROSS THE SPECTRUM OF WILDLIFE.
Found throughout Europe and into Asia, as far as northwestern China, this large damselfly (calopheryx splendens) can be seen each year from May to the end of August, fluttering gracefully along the margins of slow moving water, such as rivers and streams, particularly where there is lush vegetation.
With translucent wings and iridescent colours, blue in the male and green/bronze in the female, they may look beautiful, but like all damselflies, are predators of other insects, which they takes on the wing.
Males are territorial and to attract female, perform aerial displays. The female lays her eggs beneath the surface of the water, and is able to submerge herself, if necessary, using air trapped between her wings to breathe.
They prefer water bodies with muddy bottoms, where larvae thrive, hunting prey over a period of two years, before emerging as adults.
