A Flickr Friday submission on the topic "Translucent". Three leaves from a Blueberry Ash tree at different stages of development.
Our woodpeckers and squirrels don't seem to like the acorns on these deciduous acorn trees, they largely ignore them, and fight over the acorns on the evergreen California live oaks. I'm assuming they are not indigenous.
I know there's an acorn-y pun in there somewhere, but just can't think of it, right now!

Photo taken for the "Macro Mondays" theme "Sphere".
A selection of colourful translucent banded agate beads, with coloured transmission shadows.
Each bead is 8 mm in diameter.
I was originally trying this out for the next Macro Mondays group theme, Translucent, but then I realised I'd made a rookie mistake.
The main subject is a translucent milk glass button. It's standing in front of a Victorian bottle and a fluted glass perfume bottle, both of which are translucent. For good measure, they're all on top of a sheet of opaque perspex, which is itself (you've guessed it) translucent. I was feeling pleased with myself until I realised that the button had two things between it and the light ... so it didn't actually look translucent at all. Oops! Still, waste not, want not, as my mother used to say. :)
Apologies for being behind with commenting. Flickr was playing up so much yesterday that I gave up on it. I'll catch up tomorrow!
This is a tessellation many origamists discover independently, though Fujimoto was probably among the first to do so. This tessellation is not featured as a separate design in any of his books, but the same molecule is used as part of a larger composition in CFW 262 which
appears on page 163 of _Invitation to Creative Playing with Origami_. I would have missed it, but I spotted a model consisting of just this molecule in the background of a picture taken inside Fujimoto’s home that I got from Robert Lang.
While the pattern isn’t very interesting in reflected light, in back-light it becomes much more appealing.

After folding this model and taking pictures, I modified it to become Electric Tessellation (see one of my recent posts).

Saturn’s rings are perhaps the most recognized feature of any world in our solar system. Cassini spent more than a decade examining them more closely than any spacecraft before it.
The rings are made mostly of particles of water ice that range in size from smaller than a grain of sand to as large as mountains. The ring system extends up to 175,000 miles (282,000 kilometers) from the planet, but for all their immense width, the rings are razor-thin, about 30 feet (10 meters) thick in most places.
From the right angle you can see straight through the rings, as in this natural-color view that looks from south to north. Cassini obtained the images that comprise this mosaic on April 25, 2007, at a distance of approximately 450,000 miles (725,000 kilometers) from Saturn. The Cassini spacecraft ended its mission on Sept. 15, 2017.

Given that it was taken on my phone through the shop window, it came out alright!!
With the Sun falling on the San Fransisco Bay, and this Seagull's flight into it's light, helped me appreciate in my heart, that we live in a very special place! Of all the things I saw out in the world today that dissappointed me, because that's how alot of people are these days, this Sundown helped me let it go; And made me the Freebird!
Sawfly larvae (Symphyta p.) can quite easily be distinguished from butterfly catepillars by looking at the head. Sawflies have a distinct neck like this one while caterpillars have the head more integrated in the body.
I haven't managed to figure out the exact species of this one (there are 824 species in Sweden), but I kind of like the translucent body of it. I found in Åva-Stensjödal in Tyresta National Park in mid-June.

thanks to Kak Dedek (Diana) bwt kamera pinjemannya...karena ukuran pixel yang gede and resolusi yang oke, sehingga gambar mikroskopis bisa di crop n diperbesar dan tetap kelihatan jelas ^_^
J'ai un verre rouge en plastique translucide pour ma salle de bain, tellement plus pratique qu'un verre pyrex par exemple. #Macro #MacroMondays #Translucent
