found this from digging through my summer pics...with the awful drab cold weather, it was a pleasant discovery!
I have several baby anoles in my yard but this one is different. It is partially translucent & you can see glimpses of the internal organs. Cute little baby.

Smoke, water and a mystical spirit figure. Originally produced for Flickr Friday "See Through" but I decided to post a different picture as this was similar to my Macro Monday "Song" post.
we just had the first frosty nights, but this hydrangea lets not impressed by that, she´s still florishing...

For me, this isn't terribly Macro, but this tiny little translucent toadstool and its companion were absolutely stunning. They are still pretty small, as you can see from the clover leaves in one of the photos. Narrow DOF was order of the day to make the most of their flimsy character.

The Wild Indigo Duskywing is a member of the subfamily Pyrginae, known as Spread-wing Skippers. A small skipper butterfly with a wing span of 1 3/8 - 1 5/8 inches (3.5 - 4.1 cm).
Overall it is dark brown with four misaligned white, hyaline (translucent) spots on the forewing and a prominent lighter patch next to them. There are also several other white spots. Both gender are similar in appearance although the female tends to be more conspicuously mottled on the topside of both wings.
The Indigo Duskywing ranges from southern New England and southern Ontario, Canada west to central Nebraska; south to Georgia, the Gulf Coast, and southcentral Texas. It is rapidly expanding its range and abundance by colonizing plantings of crown vetch planted along roadsides for erosion control. As a result the Indigo Duskwing has utilized roadside corridors to expand its range throughout the eastern half of the United States.
Habitat is open woods and barrens for native host plants. Highways, railroad beds, and upland fields for the introduced crown vetch.
Flight season includes two broods from late April to early June and from July to August. Fully grown caterpillars from the second brood hibernate, usually in piles of leaves on the ground.
Like its common name this skipper's host plant is usually wild indigo (Baptisia tinctoria), but also others including wild blue indigo (B. australis), lupine (Lupinus perennis), false lupine (Thermopsis villosa), and the introduced crown vetch (Coronilla varia).
Adult skippers nectar from flowers of blackberry, white and sweet clover, dogbane, sunflower, crimson clover, and many others.

Taken on an evening walk, with the sun shining through these leaves, the light was still a bit weak so the camera chose ISO 5000.
This solar lamp changes colour, which is quite jolly during cold, gloomy evenings during our current 'bonus winter' season.
Today the Hereios of the We're Here! group are shooting Stuff in the Yard (which because it's a US group includes gardens).
You may be getting really tired of tulips at this point, but I'm not, and hey, it's my photostream, right?

Korth's Meadow - Iowa
The magic of late autumn color is closing fast! I still find these delicate leaves with the diffusing soft sunlight and earthy tones to be of some merit...
Our weather is changing fast today with wet, heavy snow just north into Minnesota. Sigh...
