A Colored Thread: Nature's Iridescence

Let's see nature's show of iridescent colors

Apatura ilia, male.

A large soap bubble (I'm not sure if you count this as nature's iridescence but it is certainly iridescence)

That's a nice shade and good how you've got the light to reflect from either side.

There is a bird here that I've only seen once. When it's flying it has a similar color on the back of it's wings and only seen if it is banking around the viewer. But when perched, there is just a motly brown patch along the edges of the wings.

I said nature's iridescence just to separate the man made painted objects like hot rods, which could of course have their own thread. But a soap bubble isn't exactly painted and I love the rainbow colors and odd looking reflections. When I was a kid, there were only those little plastic sticks with a small hole. Like so many things, they have come a long way...

First time I have captured eye cells with my little FZ300

That sure is a great little camera - you'll soon be giving Donald B a run for his money...

Haha, not sure I'd want to be in that pissing match... 😁
