100x walks #35 & for Sliders Sunday
Coppers is a good mile walk from my front door and serves as a 'village' store, but also has a deli and sells dozens of different cask and bottled beer. I could live there. HSS!
Kleiner Feuerfalter (Lycaena Phaeas)
Lycaena phlaeas, the small copper, American copper, or common copper, is a butterfly of the Lycaenids or gossamer-winged butterfly family. According to Guppy and Shepard (2001), its specific name phlaeas is said to be derived either from the Greek phlego, "to burn up" or from the Latin floreo, "to flourish".

It was nice to have multiple butterfly species on the butterfly milkweed this year including some nice gray coppers....
This is a small part of an exhibit at Birmingham Museum.
The artwork was done by Donald Rodney (1961- 1998) and titled as "Land of Milk and Honey II" Rodney was born in Birmingham. He used objects in his work to explore aspects of the human experience. His father migrated to Smethwick from the Carribean in the mid 20th century, in search of a better life in the "Land of Milk and Honey" The Vitrine contains coins and milk. They represent the 'sourced' reality many migrants actually experienced. The material he used will deteriorate and change over time.

It was wonderful to catch this small copper on the freshly browned bracken for a real autumnal feel :)

Thank you to everyone who views, favs or comments on my photos, it is always appreciated.
They can still be seen sporadically. Without light the leaves are only brown. In the sun they turn into pure copper.
Noch kann man sie vereinzelt sehen. Ohne Licht sind die Blätter nur braun. In der Sonne verwandeln sie sich in pures Kupfer.

Macro Monday theme - Copper
Some of my crushed penny collection from our travel adventures.
Happy Macro Monday!
Arizona - colors and light in a copper mine, and enormous equipment that looks like toys from this vantage point...
I have neither copper accessories, dishes nor pots.
So I shot the copper wire that I used for the theme "The Periodic Table" July 2016, again.
I widen the coiled copper and put water drops on it.
There were copper wires inside of the drops, too!!

The Small Copper is usually seen in ones and twos, but in some years large numbers may be found at good sites. Males are territorial, often choosing a piece of bare ground or a stone on which to bask and await passing females. They behave aggressively towards any passing insects, returning to the same spot when the chase is over.
Though it remains a common and widespread species, the Small Copper declined throughout its range during the twentieth century. Widespread through Britain and Ireland, and occasionally visits gardens.
