Nice gecko, which we found in one evening inside the room where we were living in Croatia :)
The Mediterranean house gecko (Hemidactylus turcicus) is a species of house gecko common to the Mediterranean area which has spread to many parts of the world. It is commonly referred to as the Turkish gecko. It's a very small lizard generally measuring between 10–12,5 cm in length, with sticky toe pads, vertical pupils, and large eyes that lack eyelids. Their skin is light brown or grayish above, spotted with darker; many of the tubercles white, lower surfaces white. They may be completely translucent except for the spotting. Some are darker. Turkish geckos can be found in areas near human presence such as university campuses, cemeteries, coastal regions, and shrublands. In these urban or suburban areas, they are typically seen in the cracks of old brick buildings. They can also be found in other areas like mountain cliffs and caves. The Mediterranean house geckos feed on crickets, grasshoppers, cockroaches, spiders, beetles, moths, butterflies, ants, isopods, and snails.

Uroczy gekonek, którego znaleźliśmy pewnego wieczoru pod sufitem w naszej kwaterze w Chorwacji :)
Gekon turecki (Hemidactylus turcicus) – gatunek gada z rodziny gekonów występujący w południowej i południowo-wschodniej części Półwyspu Iberyjskiego i południowej Francji, na północno-wschodnim wybrzeżu Adriatyku, Półwyspie Bałkańskim, a także na wyspach Morza Śródziemnego i Egejskiego. Występuje też na Wyspach Kanaryjskich, w Azji Mniejszej i na Półwyspie Arabskim. Ubarwienie gekona jest zmienne, zależy od środowiska i nastroju zwierzęcia. Zazwyczaj waha się od brązowo-różowego po żółty. Na palcach znajdują się przylgi umożliwiające zwierzęciu wspinanie się po stromych powierzchniach. Długość ciała - do 12,5 cm. Żyje w wielu różnorodnych siedliskach, zarówno na obszarach skalistych, nadmorskich klifach jak i na terenach zielonych zdominowanych przez roślinność krzewiastą. Może zamieszkać w pobliżu siedzib ludzkich. Żywi się owadami i pajęczakami, rzadko zjada małe jaszczurki. Czasem korzysta ze sztucznych źródeł światła, by łowić zwabione blaskiem owady.
A potential for MM - A translucent shot glass from my collection with a glass marble in the middle. Taken on the Tak 55 extended.
Interesting theme this week that had me wondering if Unilever are right to call their "Pears" soap "transparent" (rather than "translucent"). As far as I'm concerned, their description stamped on the product just doesn't wash with me! Anyway, I quite like the stuff - here lit from behind with a torch.
Many thanks for all views, fav's - and particularly comments - all are greatly appreciated!
Happy Macro Mondays to you all!

at the wetlands, North Georgia. Not a lot of obelisking going on with all the rain keeping temps down. Sanddragon's (Progomphus obscurus) can be skittish but some like to pose.
Happy Dragonfly Thursday!
Macro Mondays: Translucent
This is the beautiful hat that my sister wore years ago at her best friend's wedding. My sister's outfit was so beautiful that when we got the photos developped (yes, it was *that* long ago), the photographer gasped and asked me "your sister got married?"
Anyway, first I was thinking of the volutes of tulle for today's theme, but the satin roses also had shiny, translucent petals.
The rose is quite small, about 4 cm.
Yet another one from the collection. This time it's a vintage (although probably not too old) Japanese millefiori glass button, which is about ¾" wide. It's leaning against an opaque glass perfume bottle. I've gone for simplicity this time. :)
For this week's Macro Mondays group theme, Glass.

Was lovely finding this recently eclosed Orange Ladybird! Love the ghostly spots! At this point in the day (dusk) I realised I'd lost my LED light ring during my walk, hence high ISO etc...!

Zitronen sind im Winter unersetzlich. Sie verbessern nicht nur viele Speisen und Getränke, sondern sind auch überaus gesund. Kuchen, Soßen und Cocktails werden mit Zitrone verfeinert und bekommen den prickelnden Pfiff.
Lemons are irreplaceable in winter. Not only do they improve many foods and drinks, but they are also extremely healthy. Cakes, sauces and cocktails are refined with lemon and get that sparkling whistle.
