Elles ne durent que l’espace d’un moment et pourtant je vous
invite à regarder ces quelques gouttes de rosée qui fertilisent
la terre et apportent dans leur sillage la mémoire de la vie.
Au creux des feuilles telles des mains ouvertes, dans les herbes,
patiemment la nature les recueille. Selon l’ancienne légende
rapportée par Homère, se sont les larmes d'Aurore, la déesse
aux doigts de rose qui ouvre les portes du jour..
They last only a brief moment and yet, I invite you to look
more closely at these droplets that fertilize the earth and
convey the memory of life in their wake. Nature collects them
patiently on bent grass stalk and leaf’s welcoming hollow.
According to the legend recorded by Homer they were Aurora’s
tears, the goddess whose roseate fingers initiated the day..

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.
—Harry Clifton
The early morning sun shines through the back of a breaking wave at Nauset Beach in Orleans, MA, making it glow from within.
Here, the jacket was sewn entirely in a blue cotton organdy (the color of hydrangeas) and therefore will be translucent and stiff. Pale golden machine embroidery will embellish this piece full of semi-transparency.
Thank you very much for your visiting!

Greta oto
Hewitson, 1854
Greta oto is a brush-footed butterfly, and is a member of the clearwing clade; its wings are translucent. Its most common English name is glasswing, and its Spanish name is "espejitos", which means "little mirrors." Indeed, the tissue between the veins of its wings looks like glass, as it lacks the coloured scales found in other butterflies.[1] It is one of the more abundant clearwing species in its home range, which is found in the Amazon Rainforest (South America) The opaque borders of its wings are dark brown sometimes tinted with red or orange, and its body is dark in color. Its wingspan is between 5.5 and 6 cm.
Adults range from Mexico through Panama and inhabit the rainforest understory and feed on the nectar of a variety of tropical flowers. G. oto prefers to lay its eggs on plants of the tropical nightshade genus Cestrum. The red and purple striped caterpillars feed on these toxic plants and store the alkaloids in their tissues, making them distasteful to predators such as birds. They retain their toxicity in adulthood. The same alkaloids that make them poisonous also are converted into pheromones by the males, which use them to attract females.
G. oto adults also exhibit a number of interesting behaviors, such as long migrations and lekking among males.

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.

Experimented with my friends lightbox and flowers from her garden. Used a variety of Topaz plugins (Clarity, Adjust and Impression 2).
This is a Möbius strip, an interesting thing that has only one side, one edge and one twist. . . . and if you cut it along its centre line it stays in one piece.

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,
