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.)

An oddly distorted view of my daughter’s car as seen through a glass window globe hanging in the window, at my sister’s house.
This is a female pellucid fly (Volucella pellucens) on a flower on the great burnet (Sanguisorba officinalis).
So what does "pellucid" mean? Well, the definition is "translucently clear" and it's called that because of the white part of the abdomen, appearing like a clear window (which incidently is why it is called "fönsterblomfluga" - window hoverfly in Swedish).
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.

Raindrops cling to recently opened almond blossoms in the early morning. Dozens of flower buds will be opening within a few days.
Backlit light painting and focal stack. Not sure the PhotoShop auto-blending worked very well. Don't miss the detail in this one! www.flickr.com/photos/kerrinjon/50246649971/sizes/6k/
With so much rain and not a chance to go outside...I focused on what was inside.
As flowers are some of my favourite things I try to 'shoot' them whenever I can. I find the inside of flowers often more interesting than the outside...here is the proof in the next three images
Kansas, USA. This was the evening a cold front was moving through the area. Unusual wind and wind directions. Think these types of clouds produced the false sun in the previous pictures. The bright spot on this photos is the real sun.

When this weeks theme was proposed I set out with the intention of taking an image of backlit leaves. Though when walking through the woods during the last hour of sunlight it struck me that the forest itself is translucent. It allows some light to pass through down to the forest floor but not all light. Some is obscured by dense canopy above. So here is an image of a translucent fern lit by the sun through a translucent forest.
