Thank you very much for your time and for your faves!
(Just giving a fave is perfect if you like the photo, thank you!)
I took this one just next to the enormous Sgwd y Pannwr falls as part of the 4 waterfalls walk near Ystradfellte in the Brecon Beacons National Park. The river is flowing on two levels at that point - creating countless little cascades and directions of the water flow. The bubbles on the surface are always a brilliant plus when taking a longish exposure. I blended a longer exposure for the foreground with a shorter one for the falls and background. We had a lovely picnic with exactly that view in front of us. What a fabulous area to explore!
Flying fish are practically translucent, extremely fast and skim and seem to jump above the sea's surface. Here you can see one (with the help of a magnifying glass) above the surface and the tapestry woven by ones underwater somewhere in the South China Sea.

...and combine them in a macro photo. This is a thin, cellophane-like, translucent paper that made folding difficult for me. All one hue, but the lights make it look like many.
About 4cm /1.5 inches across.
My husband prefers this one. He isn't keen on abstract or bokeh balls.
Thanks for looking.
This little small lamp with the wanna be Tiffany look of grapes comes in at 1-3/8 inch square frame. Translucent color glass lets the light out but easy to look upon.

Like this caterpillar changing to a butterfly, so is the old year becoming the new year! Again Happy New Year 2026!
Monarch caterpillar in its fifth stage of development.
The caterpillar goes through five major, distinct stages of growth and after each one, it molts. Each caterpillar, or instar, that molts is larger than the previous as it eats and store energy in the form of fat and nutrients to carry it through the nonfeeding pupal stage. 5th instar with the white spots visible on the prolegs.
The first instar caterpillar that emerges out of the egg is pale green and translucent. It lacks banding coloration or tentacles. The larvae or caterpillar eats its egg case and begins to feed on milkweed. It is during this stage of growth that the caterpillar begins to sequester cardenolides. The circular motion a caterpillar uses while eating milkweed prevents the flow of latex that could entrap it.
The second instar larva develops a characteristic pattern of white, yellow and black transverse bands. It is no longer translucent but is covered in short setae. Pairs of black tentacles (stinkhorns) begin to grow. One pair grows on the thorax and another pair on the abdomen.
The third instar larva has more distinct bands and the two pairs of tentacles become longer. Legs on the thorax differentiate into a smaller pair near the head and larger pairs further back. These third stage caterpillars began to eat along the leaf edges.
The fourth instar has a different banding pattern. It develops white spots on the prolegs near the back of the caterpillar.
The fifth instar larva has a more complex banding pattern and white dots on the prolegs, with front legs that are small and very close to the head. – Wikipedia
This started with a photo of a white and deep red lily from our garden. Blend modes and actions along with textures entered into the picture! Hope you enjoy the results.

A set of translucent dice back lit so the colours come through on to a watery surface, using a low key technique to make them stand out.
For Macro Mondays theme.
If you use them, you'll know what it is. Wow, this one is colour HD, so don't put your whites in.
Not sure yet? I'll come clean later. 😉.
I've often wondered how they make them,
The background is dark, but the sun is shining through the glass jar. So, this is a backlit scene. We would not see anything of the jar had there not been some impurities and some diffractions (things we try to avoid when it comes to the glass inside our cameras). Samyang mirror reflex lens (which has hardly any glass inside) and Fuji X-E3.
