Something Translucent

Something Translucent:
I'm pretty new to posting to this forum so I don't know if this one has been done yet.
The only other translucent thing I can think of would be a hummingbird but I don't have any of those. I will be curious to see everyones "translucent" images.

I'll offer my glass bricks from my shower unit...

Jamtarts,,,that is fantastic! Very clever.
This appears to be a difficult subject, I was hoping to
get more response.
You nailed it!

These are all great you guys!
Maybe this wasn't as hard as first thought?

Here's one more that "might" qualify.

Ya know,,,I was just thinking about this.
I'm not sure but this thread is based on my fish pic which I called translucent. Is it really iridescent?
I think I got this all wrong,,,oops
Doesn't really matter I guess but I like words,,,and I like to know what I,m talking about and looking at! lol

Can someone sort this out? Any English teachers out there?

Your fish pic has both qualities in it but now you know what translucent is.
