Macro Mondays Week 20: Copper
Prior to 1965, American Quarter Dollars were made of 90% Silver. In 1964 the US Mint started using copper clad with nickel. Rising silver prices were making the quarters worth more than 25 cents and cost more to make than their face value.
They immediately became known as Peanut Butter Sandwiches or Johnson Sandwiches. Lyndon Johnson was the US President when the change took place.
Copper-cheeked frog (Hydrophylax chalconotus)
Hydrophylax chalconotus is a species of frog in the Ranidae family. It is endemic to Indonesia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, rivers, intermittent rivers, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marches, plantations, rural gardens, irrigated land, and seasonally flooded agricultural land. Formerly known as Rana chalconota, that taxon was applied to what is today named Hydrophylax raniceps. In the 1990s, it became generally agreed that Hydrophylax raniceps applied to specimens in northern and western Sumatra, Peninsula Malaysia and Borneo. Hydrophylax chalconota's range is limited to Southern Sumatra, Java and Bali (From Wikipedia article Hydrophylax_chalconotus)

Time was when copper pennies were huge. Times have changed. These are recent 25 satang coins from Thailand, (face value of less than one US cent). The tiny (1 cm) copper plated coins are soon to be discontinued, along with English farthings and all the rest.

I previously loaded a version of this photo without HDR editing. The above version is a 7 exposure HDR with some additional editing using the Photoshop curves tool (to try and keep it somewhat natural looking). Let me know which you prefer!
I thought they would work well together and complement one another. I was intrigued by the similarities of the two handled.

"Copper Basin Lookout:" Watching the sunset while standing under a very large juniper tree and looking toward Skull Valley from Prescott's Copper Basin Lookout near Thumb Butte. I took this image a number of years back and never got around to posting it. It was one of those cooler than usual, windy mid-fall days that had the sun hidden behind the clouds until the very last minute, and thankfully allowed for a splash of color against the sky.

Copper Patina sets. Missing the socks and headbands, I'l make those later. They look so much better in person, the silk is very iridescent!
The Large Copper is one of my favourite butterflies. It is reaed to the Common Blue of whom I posted a photo yesterday, but the Large Copper is much rarer. They only live in wetlands and along the margins of lakes and rivers and exclusively in areas where the larval foodplant Rumex hydrolapathum grows in profusion. I know only one place here where I find them. The butterfly in this shot is a male as the upper side of the wings is almost competely orange. Females have more brown patterns on their wings. The word "large" in their name is misleading as they are rather small.
Seen during the lovely walk through the grasslands to the Castle Water Hide at Rye Harbour Nature Reserve. I'll be away for a few days so will try to catch up with all my Flickr friends pictures upon my return.
