Manipontonia psamathe is a species of pontoniine shrimp in the family Palaemonidae, commonly known as the translucent gorgonian shrimp or black coral shrimp, characterized by its small size—reaching up to 2.5 cm in length—and its translucent body adapted for life in coral reef environments. The coloration of M. psamathe is predominantly translucent, enhancing camouflage among the branching structures of gorgonian corals, with two distinct red lines running along the carapace and abdomen for subtle patterning.

As I walked around the park the swan family were resting on the grass and grooming, with a large feather right beside the female (pen).
The feather was too close to the swan, so I walked around the lake and when I came back they were just getting up and entering the lake.
This gave me the opportunity for the shot ....

Another tiny Mycena mushroom growing on the moss covered branch of a tree. With the day being wet and overcast there was only dim light under the tree cover. We are seeing some Bioluminescence here, like something from the deep oceans. (Thank you Wikipedia...)
