My son is a voracious reader. He studied English Literature at Uni and his room is stuffed full of books. This particular specimen is a Penguin Classic by Jane Austen - Sense and Sensibility and seems to be destined for the charity shop - I don't think he likes Jane Aistin 😱
Definitely fits within the groups size regulations. I forgot to measure at the time. Have since tried to reproduce and I think frame is around 4-5cm in width.
Happy Macro Monday! 😊📚

We are here in the gold room for only a very short time (with special permission), long enough to get an impression of all the beautiful things that are made here.
Due to confidentiality, the process cannot be photographed. Also not the final gifts, because then it is no longer a surprise.
Santa Claus has almost finished wrapping the presents and then he will embark on the long journey to get to the human world in time."""

La Fluorine (ou fluorite) est une espèce minérale composée de fluorure de calcium, de formule idéale CaF2 mais comportant des traces de Y, Ce, Si, Al, Fe, Mg, Eu, Sm, O, Cl et composés organiques. Les différents ions en traces sont à l'origine des multiples couleurs et zonations colorées rencontrées pour ce minéral.
La Fluorite est un des rares minéraux qui se présente relativement souvent en échantillons parfaitement cristallisés et de coloration remarquable. Le clivage des cristaux est parfait. On trouve aussi la fluorite en agrégats massifs ou granuleux. Le même cristal ou le même agrégat peut présenter plusieurs couleurs. la Fluorite, du latin "fluere" = "couler". Son nom fait allusion à sa fréquente utilisation comme fondant en métallurgie et non à son point de fusion qui est très élevé (1 360 °C). Ajouté aux minerais, il permet de rendre plus fluide le laitier et facilite l'élimination du soufre et du phosphore.
C'est est une pierre à la sensibilité féminine et intuitive. C'est une pierre de vision et de clairvoyance. Elle vous permet d'avoir l'esprit fluide en vous libérant des blocages des centres énergétiques de la tête. La Fluorine évoque un courant d'eau fraîche, et apporte une respiration bienvenue qui vous aère totalement la tête.
taille de l'échantillon : 12cm/6cm/4,5cm h, ce cube 2/2/2 il est sur une gangue de cristallisation de quartz et l'on retrouve un peu de baryte entre les cristaux.

Named for its rigorous patrol of hedges and woodland rides, the gatekeeper butterfly is a prime pollinator. Look for them sipping nectar on sunny days in the summer.
This butterfly rests with its wings open, so the underside is less frequently visible. The male, shown here, has broad sex brands, comprising scent-producing scales known as androconia, on its forewings; the female has no such strips and is evidently much more of an orange butterfly. Unlike many 'browns', the Gatekeeper often rests with its wings open, which is very helpful when you are trying to determine the gender of a Gatekeeper. There is a wingspan difference between the sexes - but who can estimate size with any degree of accuracy when a butterfly is in flight? Males, with their wingspan typically 4cm, are slightly smaller than females, which usually have a wingspan of about 4.5cm
.Also known as the Hedge Brown butterfly, the Gatekeeper is fond of brambly hedgerows and ragwort-infested scrubland where nectar-bearing flowers are plentiful.
This short-lived butterfly of high summer emerges from the beginning of July onwards but by the end of August there are very few if any left to see.
Gatekeepers are seen throughout England, but they are more abundant in southern counties. In Wales the Gatekeeper is fairly common in the south and west but is less frequently seen the further north you go. In Scotland the Gatekeeper is seen very rarely, and the same is true of most of Ireland, although along the coastal strip of southern Ireland there are reasonable numbers of this lovely golden butterfly.
Lifecycle
The larval foodplants of the Gatekeeper are various grasses, in particular the various bents (Agrostis spp), meadow-grasses (Poa spp) and fescues (Festuca spp). The egg-laying habitat is rough grassland at hedged field margins, in woodland rides, fire breaks and larger clearings, and in scrubby grassland and wasteland where bushes have sprung up among grasses.
Female Gatekeepers drop their straw-yellow eggs from the air onto or near to suitable grass tussocks, generally in the shade of a small bush or a hedge. The eggs darken and become mottled brown-grey as, over a period of two to three weeks, the larvae develop inside the egg case. Once they have eaten their way out of the egg case, the tiny caterpillars consume their foodplant during daylight. After the first moult, the caterpillars crawl deep down into the base of their grass tussock and there they hibernate until the following spring. On waking, the green (sometimes brown) caterpillars become nocturnal feeders. They pupate in June or early July after their fourth moult, and the adult butterflies emerge from their chrysalises about three weeks later.
There are small white spots in the grey-brown mottling on the hindwing of the Gatekeeper. The Southern Gatekeeper, Pyronia cecila, is similar, but it has a more silvery mottled underside to its rear hindwings without the white spots.
Macro Mondays theme Festive Season
It snowed here last week and I had to include it in my Festive picture as it's quite a rarity and unpredictable when we do actually get it. It's now warmed up into double figures (ºC) and after a week of sub-zero temperatures, the snow has finally melted away.
I wanted to post my sparkly reindeer but it was too big for the group rules and no matter how I tried to frame it, it just didn't work. So here is a red star bauble instead measuring 4-5cm in width.
Happy Macro Monday! ✨🎄✨

Our trip to India was amazing and this was one of the little keepsakes we picked up at the Taj Mahal, a 40 Year Calendar. Moving the year to the current month (top right) , the days of the week are correctly displayed in the bottom window, it even caters for leap years! The whole disk only measures 4.5cm across so covering 40 years it really does give a very big picture of what's to come, and saves throwing away calendars every year!
