Looking through the translucent paper thin petals of the poppy.

Waited patiently for this roosting male Chalkhill Blue, to wake, rotate to face the warmth of the rising sun....He awoke, started to rotate, but stopped with the sun backlighting, and warming from below....he remained in that position for about ten seconds, then took to the air.

You can clearly see the underwing pattern, and the blue and charcoal pattern of the upper......Totally translucent...!! Totally unusual....

When I was a child, I was told by my beloved grandparents that the winged seed pods of English maple trees were translucent faerie wings waiting to be collected by their new owners.

Autumn is now well and truly with us here in Melbourne, and the cooler winds of seasonal change are blowing away the remnants of summer, like it tosses the red, gold and orange leaves that carpet the ground.

Today was a perfect autumnal day in Melbourne: sunny, but not too bright, warm, but not hot, and perfectly still. Therefore I thought I'd go for a walk and take advantage of the sunny conditions and take some photographs.

I have taken several hundred, some of which I will upload over the coming months. However this one of the winged maple seeds which reminded me of by childhood in England particularly resonated with me, so I thought I would upload it without delay.

The height of this dolphin was 1 inch.

After watching a Nature show featuring the beautiful hummingbirds of the world I decided to pay tribute to one on the many amazing hummers that I saw in Costa Rica this past April.

While feeding on a passion flower this Green-crowned Brilliant is showing off it's beautiful 'translucent wings'.

I found this little flower growing in some grass in one of my neighborhood parkways. The raindrops seemed to glisten, and the petals are translucent.

The new springtail season has started. Dicyrtoma fusca can be found in the garden again. A worm also appears left down.

Snow coming to the Chilterns? A light, wet sprinkling of it this morning.

Isn't that a lovely word -- Translucent.. I use it whenever I can. And doesn't it add a dimension to pictures like this? (But maybe only On Black.)
