Earlier this year I did a marble shot called translucent. At the time the amazingly talented Bluesrose suggested a crop that I reticent about doing - mainly because I had already made one suggested change. But I have since acquired more of love of square format photos and thought that I'd give it a go. So this is for you Maris - thanks!

A friend introduced me to this "unique" steampunk band. I promised her I would add their site on one of Selene's photos for people to hear. They are a musical pantomime troupe called "Steam Powered Giraffe" and I really enjoy their music.

If you visit the website you can hear a few of their unique sounds, pick a song and click the arrow to play www.steampoweredgiraffe.com/

I liked this best as a picture.

Translucent Dream

---- on leaving church ----

Present to myself, picked up while browsing the pop-up music stall that's often on Middle Meadow Walk. Frankly you've got me a Thelonius Monk, but Monk with John Coltrane? Oh yes, having that. Exra little bonus when I got home and went to put it on the turntable, to discover the actual record was not only pressed in coloured vinyl but translucent too, so I improvised this quick shot of it with a small light behind the record.

These mushrooms were positioned on a tree branch so I could catch the afternoon sunlight shining through. I think they are (Auricularia auricula-judae.) Common names are tree ear, black fungus, cloud ear, Jew's ear, Judas's ear, or tree jelly fish. Hopefully, one of our resident mycologists will verify or correct me.

I noticed last night that this Monarch chrysalis had become translucent... a sure sign that the butterfly inside was about to emerge. So, I can't wait to show you what I found today! (But i will wait, because a project is calling me.)

IMG_8618 50 flickr friday translucent I saw the theme a thousand times a day, but I couldn't capture it on film. It was so frustrating. In the end these shots of two glasses and a cup came the closest.
