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.
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/
Apologies to anyone who isn't fond of bugs..
The trap is shaped like a little red apple - approx. 2.25" diameter - and seems fairly effective. I used the supplied liquid in one but followed a hunch based on the smell (later backed up by a little online searching) and put apple cider vinegar - with a few drops of dish detergent to break the surface tension - in the other. My homemade liquid seems to work just about as well as the commercial one, so I'll just keep using the containers. We have a whole bottle of apple cider vinegar... :)
The liquid that came with the kits says it's enough for 90 days - the instructions say to use half the bottle in each apple, and that's supposed to last for 45 days. BUT...it's evaporating very quickly. I've nearly used up the bottle keeping ONE trap supplied for a week.
Image made in response to the Macro Mondays group's July 20 theme, "Translucent."
This is a very small blue glass bottle; the photographed area is approximately 2.25 inches.
Spectra wears DOTD Lagoona shoes. I adore these, they are up in my top 5 MH shoes. So pretty. Impossible to stand in tho.
Couldn't resist posting another shot from my Translucent MM session. This one has a patterned silk scarf underneath the organza.
Explored on 29th July 2026 for July's Explore Takeover theme: Orange, position 16. Another 2 of my shots got chosen as well morning coffee [Explored] in position 142 and Stop... Wait... Go... [Explored] in position 324.
An "x-ray" of a tree's leaves in Central Park :)

One of the test shots on my 'new' F90X that I picked up for 30 quid.
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.
I don't know what flower this is, but the interior of it is incredible.The closer I look at flowers, the more I realize that they look like creatures from a coral reef...
This shot shows the translucent nature of Volucella pellucen's ivory-white second tergite, and also the large dark spots on its wings! The translucent ivory-white second tergite rise to the common name for this hoverfly, the Pellucid Fly, as pellucid means translucently clear!
Island of Madagascar
Off The East Coast of Africa
Peyrieras Madagascar Exotic Reserve
This tree frog was photographed at night. Our guide held a spotlight up to show the frog on a leaf. The only amphibians on the island of Madagascar are frogs, no salamander, newts, etc. The island has up to 311 species of frogs most of them endemic to the island.
Boophis madagascariensis is a species of frog in the Mantellidae family. It is endemic to Madagascar. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, rivers, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, and heavily degraded former forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Boophis is the only genus in the mantellid frog subfamily Boophinae. They show typical 'tree frog' traits, and are a good example of convergent evolution with morphologically similar species in the families Hylidae and Rhacophoridae, among others. This genus can only be found on Madagascar and Mayotte Island (Comoros).
Many species of Boophis have almost translucent skin, allowing bones and internal organs to be observed as in the unrelated glass frogs (Centrolenidae) of the tropical Americas. This has led to the vernacular name skeleton frogs for the present genus.
The genus has presently nearly 80 species; new ones are being described every few months on average. – Wikipedia
