This is the result of a failed experiment. My goal was to remove the eggshell of a small quail egg by dissolving it in acid (coffee machine descaling agent). The idea was to backlight the resulting naked egg, and see the yolk suspended in the translucent white. I think what happened was that my soaking stage was too long, so the shell was dissolved and dissapeared, but the acid coagulated the white, making it rather opaque. You can barely make out the yolk in this picture, but oh well, translucence is there! Science is hard....
Periclimenes holthuisi. These shrimp are fairly common in Dauin, living in anemones, usually in small groups.

Zwei die sich in Corona Zeiten getraut haben sind hier verwiegt. Sie werden hoffentlich den Durchblick haben, was eine gute Beziehung ausmacht.
J'ai sorti cette tranche d'Agate originaire d'Amérique du sud du placard pour l'exposer à la lumière et montrer qu'elle n'est pas transparente mais translucide. Cette pierre semi-précieuse aux couleurs flashy est connue pour apporter bien des bienfaits. #Macro #MacroMondays #Translucent
Unclothed, you are true, like one of your hands,
lissome, terrestrial, slight, complete, translucent,
with curves of moon, and paths of apple-wood:
Unclothed you are as slender as a nude ear of corn.
Undressed you are blue as Cuban nights,
with tendrils and stars in your hair,
undressed you are wide and amber,
like summer in its chapel of gold.
Naked you are tiny as one of your fingertips,
shaped, subtle, reddening till light is born,
and you leave for the subterranean worlds,
as if down a deep tunnel of clothes and chores:
your brightness quells itself, quenches itself, strips itself down
turning, again, to being a naked hand.
Pablo Neruda

The glass frontage of our local Odeon cinema, with the mid day clouds reflected in them giving an almost translucent effect. You can just see the start and end of the first 2 letters in one of the windows.
Finished getting my trailer loaded, and stopped at a truckstop nearby to get ice and something to eat. On the way in I saw a tree in fall colors and in direct sunlight, but figured if I got under and inside the canopy of leaves, it might be interesting. So, I got my ice, walked a block and took 19 photos, then got some jambalaya at Popeyes. Back to the truck to download and see what I had. I'm looking forward to your opinions my friends.
I captured this scene in the late afternoon light of this tiny insect resting on my lanai door. I love the translucent wings, long antenna, and bulbous eyes. He was so translucent I almost didn't see him. I quickly grabbed my tripod, set up, and potographed him. He flew away as soon as I captured him.

We had a wonderful sunny sunday... spring temperatures! I worked in my garden today. Before cutting away all dry flowers I had to take some last pictures of them... glowing in the sun.
Someone kindly commented on one of the other shots in this series - so I thought I'd pull one out that I haven't posted. No amberwings flying here yet ... in fact, we've been back down in the 30's with tonight the coldest. Have a good Wednesday!
