This week Anne-Christine invites us to portray delicacy in our photographs. She has some wonderful examples from a recent visit to Japan, so be sure to check out her post. Our earth is a delicate organism with an abundance of life-forms, all equally sensitive.
A jellyfish on the shore in a wash of sea-foam bubbles. Jellies are not fish, as they have no backbone. They are simple animals, composed of 95% water, that float in the oceans.
This fragile fungus was maybe 1″ (2.54 cm) across and 1.5″ (3.81 cm) tall. It’s lacy ruffled edge and parasol form exude elegance. I haven’t been able to find what it is named. If you recognize it, please tell me by commenting with the answer!
Fresh ripe raspberries hang ready to be picked before they slip off their receptacle, the white central core that stays on the plant when the fruit drops. My garden has a nice set coming on for this season. They are so tender and delicious, I can hardly wait!
What is more elegant, graceful and exquisite than a butterfly on a blossom? Nothing in my archives, though I’m sure there are other equally lovely combinations in the many examples LAPC contributors will post to this challenge.

A delicious post, Lindy! And thank you for the lovely nod to LAPC. We have all really enjoyed this, and we hope you are too. Thanks to you contributers, the challenges will go on!
Loved your take on, and agree on butterflies on flowers – they have it all. Raspberries – who can find a sweeter taste? So delicious and so longed for. Love the Kinnikinnick and the foamy jellyfish, but with the mushroom I have no idea.
Thank you, Leya. Egídio had a suggestion for what the mushroom might be! Today I was out in my gardens with my camera and the bees were all over the raspberry blossoms!
Lindy, what a wonderful post! The photos are so beautiful and exemplify delicate at its best. I tried to look up the fungus on iNaturalist. It suggested Lichen Agaric as its name. I don’t know if that’s correct. The butterfly in the flower is a fantastic photo!
Thank you, Egídio. I just went onto the iNaturalist website and it sure looks like what I photographed. When I see one again, I’ll check out it’s gills. That butterfly was a gift from the universe, as it settled onto the daylily!
Lindy, these are great! I really like the jellyfish.
Thank you!
