Most of Copper Basin's traffic is either ore loads going to the smelter or acid loads coming out of it. However, period manifest traffic is brought into the railroad from the UP interchange at Magma Junction. Here, two of the CBRY's Geeps pull a hopper and a tank car through Kearny under a dramatic Arizona sky.
Three Copper Basin Railway engines tug and chug on a loaded train of copper, rumbling through a jointed rail curve.
Small Copper / lycaena phlaeas. Dunwich Forest, Suffolk. 23/07/20.
'SUMMER DAY COPPER, A TREASURE INDEED.'
There were a few Small Coppers favouring a section of track in Dunwich Forest. Males spent most of their time patrolling above the Bell Heather, seeing off any type of flying insect, whilst actively seeking out females. They did occasionally take time out to bask on the stony track itself.
I think this particular individual is lycaena phlaeas ssp. eleus and an aberration called caeruleopunctata.
Caeruleopunctata refers specifically to the row of small blue spots just above the orange hindwing margin.
Apparently the aberration varies from having 1-2 faint blue spots through to 5 clearly defined ones. My image gives a glimpse of only some that were present on this butterfly.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
In Copper Falls State Park along the Doughboy Trail. It’s a 30 foot waterfall and some of the gorges in the river were so dark/deep that they still had snow and ice in them!

Last summer, during a short time of CoVID relieve, we had a great time hiking in Austria. This scarce copper was one of the beauties we saw on our ways.
Taken in last summer with a Sony A-6500 (Sony ILCE-6500) and SEL-100400GM as RAW. Converted to JPEG with LR 6.
This was the only copper I found in the wet meadows high up in Crater Lake National Park. Photo taken on 8/2/20.

More snow dumped overnight in the high country blanketing the area in fresh powder. An eastbound West Elk loaded coal train departs the siding at Rollins after meeting a westbound BNSF copper concentrate train from Rincon, New Mexico and is destined for Provo, Utah on January 16. 2017.

Lucky enough to capture some lightning along the Copper Coast in Waterford. You see more images from this very last minute trip here www.kieranrussellphotography.com/blog/
I always thought Star was a Red Merle Border Collie. It turns out she is a Blue Merle Tricolour. However, pretentious Aussie Shepherd breeders refer to it as Blue Merle with a Copper Trim! She's a dog not a car! She does look good in the matching coppery beech leaves though!
Copper Coast 32: I returned recently to this location to explore some different angles than I have scouted on previous visits, and also to see it at a full spring tide. I really enjoy revisiting the same locations and seeing how they change over time. On this occasion the shore has been piled high with stones leaving a very steep and defined shoreline. I always feel this location is very reminiscent of Iceland for some reason. This was taken over the Christmas break in Ireland when we seemed to have an endless bank of cloud over the Country for weeks and I decided just to embrace the moodiness. Thanks to everyone who had interacted with any of my recent posts, I greatly appreciate your support and well wishes.
Macro Mondays theme : Copper
For this week theme I thought it would be “fitting” to use these three copper pipe fittings. 😊
The length of the part on the forefront is 1 ¼” and the longest in the background 1 ¾”.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments

It was a dull sort of day but it was great to stop for a cup of coffee,this lovely old copper kettle was in the Meikleour arms in Perthshire.
Copper Coast 32. Colourful sunrises and sunsets are something I generally don’t take pictures of preferring to capture the directional light available before sunset. I felt in this case however that there was a nice feel to the colours in the sky and the reflection once I waited until the sun had gone down fully and the colours had subdued a bit.

Found these rare beauties at a Travelling Stock Reserve south of Rydal in NSW. They are endangered and only found in very specific areas, in specific conditions, on specific plants for 2 weeks of the year! I was fortunate enough to see them thanks to the help of a passionate scientist and conservationist at the Saving Our Species program (Dept. of Planning, Industry and Environment NSW).
Here's some information in the PCB:
"The Purple Copper Butterfly (Paralucia spinifera) is one of Australia's rarest butterfly species. It is also known as the Bathurst copper butterfly. It is only found in the Central Tablelands of NSW. Its habitat is restricted to elevations above 900 metres. The Purple Copper is a small butterfly with a thick body, and a wingspan of only 20-30 millimetres. Adult males fly rapidly at about 1 metre from the ground and rest in the sun with their wings parted. It feeds exclusively on a form of blackthorn (Bursaria spinosa subspecies lasiophylla).
The butterfly's life cycle relies on a 'mutualistic' relationship with the ant Anonychomyrma itinerans, and on the presence of blackthorn.

Going through my mother's jewellery case for the first time since she died has been an emotional experience. I came across this lovely leaf that has been dipped in copper and then made into a brooch. I doubt I'll ever wear it but it may well appear in photos from now on.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
