A small, springtime butterfly that frequents scrubby grassland and sunny woodland clearings. One of the most rapidly declining butterflies in the UK.
Small and orange and brown, like a tiny fritillary. Undersides of hind wings have rows of white spots. Lives in small colonies on grassland or woodland clearings.
This small butterfly frequents scrubby grassland and sunny woodland clearings, typically in very low numbers. The adults rarely visit flowers and most sightings are of the territorial males as they perch on a prominent leaf at the edge of scrub. The females are elusive and spend much of their time resting or flying low to the ground looking for suitable egg-laying sites.
The Duke of Burgundy is found in England only with a stronghold in central-southern areas and more isolated colonies in the southern Lake District and the North York Moors.
It has declined substantially in recent decades, especially in woodlands where it is reduced to fewer than 20 sites.
Shining in the golden morning light of Wednesday, December 20, 2023, a southbound intermodal train charges through the signals at Duke - the signals protecting the south end of Linwood Yard in Linwood, NC. Having stopped momentarily to wait for a northbound manifest train to enter the yard, the three Norfolk Southern engines leading the intermodal put out a hefty plume of smoke as they pick up the pace.

Sculpture garden
At Duke Farms, the sculptures in the gardens are mostly 19th-century Italian works brought by Doris Duke’s family. In many 19th-century European and American gardens, these figures were placed as decorative statues, not always tied to a specific mythological name but rather to symbolic personifications. They often represent allegorical figures (Seasons, Muses, Nymphs).
and therefore are economical in its use :-)

Duke is a 2 month old foal at Danada Farm (home of 1965 Kenturcky Derby winner Debonair) This is the first foal that's been born their since 2008. Mom, Daisy (seen in 2nd photo) came to the farm already expecting. Both will live out their lives at Danada.
Duke is a bundle of joyful energy and it's so fun to see him get up and run around the fenced in area. Yesterday he did this 2 times and then decided to lie in the grass and nap! A sure delight to watch.
Duke's coat will continue to fade over the years and he will eventually be gray like his Mom when full grown.

DIE, DUKE, DIE!
I don’t like Duke. I can’t quite put my finger on why.
I mailed away for him as a kid and after waiting an agonizingly long amount of time, when I finally got him I was bit underwhelmed, is that why?
Or maybe it’s the fact that my first exposure to him in GI Joe fiction was in the cartoon series, where his voice, for whatever reason, just rubbed me the wrong way.
Also in the cartoon, he seemed to be trying to steal Scarlett from his buddy Snake Eyes! What a jerk! It would be a few years before I reconciled myself to the fact that the cartoon and comic were 2 different “universes” and that in one Snake Eyes and Scarlett were an item and in the other it was Scarlett and Duke, back in those days I was laboring under the delusion that somehow the cartoon and comic book version of the "Joeniverse" could somehow be reconciled to form one big happy continuity.
I’ve never understood the need for the character, the Joes already had a leader who commanded their respect by” never asking them to do anything he wouldn’t be willing to do himself” and leading from the front lines( all attributes which are frequently associated with Duke) – HAWK! To those of us who’d been following GI Joe RAH since it debuted in 1982, Duke seemed like some sort of weak Hawk clone, hell they even had the same haircut!
And what’s with that code-name? Is it an allusion to “the Duke”, John Wayne? If so, wouldn’t it make more sense to give a code-name like that to a cowboy themed character like Wild Bill? Sure I know the Duke did his share of noteworthy war epics, but admit it – when someone says “John Wayne” you picture him in a 10 gallon hat, dontcha? If it’s not an attempt to co-opt John Wayne’s coolness/”all American”ness, then what is it? Why name a character who is supposed to be the ultimate defender of American democracy after a European noble title? And why give such an “all American” character such a uber Germanic real name (Conrad Hauser), of course there’s no reason why you can’t have an American of Germanic decent leading the Joes ( I myself am of similar decent), but his name seems like Nordic overkill why not “Mike Hauser” or “John Hauser”?
On top of all this add in the fact that Hasbro seems obsessed with giving us an overabundance of Duke action figures (30 as of this writing, and that doesn’t count all his 12 inch , Sigma Six, Mighty Muggs and Combat Heroes incarnations!) and you can see why even many fans who might’ve actually liked Duke at one point are sick of the guy!
And I hear he's the main character/hero of the upcoming Joe movie - oh joy!
The Duke of Burgundy is a small, springtime butterfly that frequents scrubby grassland and sunny woodland clearings and is one of the most rapidly declining butterflies in the UK. It was once classified as a Fritillary, but is now the only butterfly in the UK in the subfamily Hamearis lucina, known as the "metalmarks".
This butterfly can be confused with the Burnet Companion moth, a day-flying moth which occurs at the same time of year and is very similar in size. It has dark brown wings patterned with vivid orange spots, with white dots along the fringes of the wings, like a tiny fritillary.
Nice little pub in Chiswick. Cheap beer (by Australian standards), good pub food and great atmosphere

An old photo of my horse at 24 years young enjoying a good old "pipe opener", on the sand track. All 4 feet are off the ground. Unfortunately I don't have many photos of him, so the few I do have, I treasure.,
One of the few photos I printed, and it looks better printed than it does here.

This huge bronze statue of the Iron Duke has caused an uproar since its unveiling. Its not that the good citizens of Edinburgh resent his presence but more that he blocks the busiest street in the city. Some would like him relocated, but its likely he will stand his ground.
