The nictitating membrane (from Latin nictare, to blink) is a transparent or translucent third eyelid present in some animals that can be drawn across the eye for protection and to moisten it while maintaining visibility.
The fire of a candle coloured through the colourful glass flowers and translucent beads.
O fogo de uma vela ganha cor através do colorido das flores de vidro e das missangas transparentes.
Branches, sheer translucent leaves—
You would die to get under them forever, if it were given you,
The park, on this, a day like any other day,
And not the knowledge of everyone ever met
Who will come upon you, sooner or later,
If only you stay here.

A weathered razor shell picks up the last rays of the sun on the wet beach.
Fresh razor-clam shells are shiny shades of brown in a pattern resembling oblong growth rings. In time contact with the sand abrades the brown coating away, revealing the natural, calcium-based shell below,

This little silverside (Menidia menidia) had trapped itself under a small rock in an almost completely drained tidepool. It was probably running from striped bass or bluefish at high tide, and opted for a rocky grave rather than be eaten. There were more of them around, head down between little rocks with no way to escape once there was no water. All that we found were dead, except this one, which my son released into the open water.
These are a beautiful little fish with very translucent flesh. It almost looks fake when you look at it closely, with its silvery internal lateral line and bright white gut and gills showing through. Distinct outlines on it's back define its scales and layers of blue, green and purple flash as light refracts off it's mirror-like cheeks.
