Cyanotrichite, front (832)

Qinglong Mine, Qinglong, Qianxi'nan Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou, Southwest Region, China.

Cyanotrichite is a secondary mineral of the oxidation zone of copper deposits. Its genesis seems facilitated by an acid environment and a clayey surrounding. It owes its name to the Greek kuanos (blue) and thrix (hair) in connection with its color and its habitus in tufts of acicular crystals. It comes in orthorhombic fibers assembled in radiate rosettes, urchins with velvety aspect and silky luster. Its sky blue to azure blue color and its pale blue streak are characteristic as well as its association with other arsenates and sulphates of copper (chalcophyllite, spangolite, brochandite, adamite, etc...). It is a mineral little known to collectors who has no particular use.

Dedicated to Rhythm! for her sweet testimonial~thank you so much !!

I’m sure I’ve told you before that I get very embarrassed about taking photos int he front garden. However, having taken the dog for a walk this morning I just couldn’t resist, besides Sunday mornings, there’s not too many people up and about.

I had realised last year that I’m a bit shy on the old photography front so had bought more bulbs and planted them in the seclusion of our back garden. They’re coming up, but slightly behind the ones in the front.

Thanks for stopping

A restored family photo, likely from the 1950s showing my Grandfather (right) and Uncle (left). They are presumably on the front porch of my Grandfather’s farmhouse in North Branch Township, Lapeer County, Michigan. It’s likely a Sunday, because my Grandfather has a white shirt on with his bib overalls.

Restored with (AI) ChatGPT and a little Photoshop editing to finish.

No group invites please.

Week 9 - An 8-shot panorama from my front porch. Having too much fun with Photo Merge in Lightroom CC, I guess. The novelty will wear off eventually, I'm sure.

Thanks so much for your visits and comments.

Peach-fronted Parakeet is an inhabitant of savanna, gallery forest and cerrado from Suriname to south to northern Argentina, and west to extreme southeastern Peru. Peach-fronted Parakeet has a peachy orange forehead and midcrown; a pale orange orbital ring; dull blue wings, tail and hindcrown; and olive brown cheeks and underparts that fade to yellow-green on the undertail coverts. This parakeet is superficially similar to Orange-fronted Parakeet (Eupsittula canicularis), and the two may form a superspecies; but Orange-fronted Parakeet is confined to Central America, and there is no geographic overlap between the two. Peach-fronted Parakeet spends much time foraging on the ground where it feeds on seeds, flowers, leaves and insects. At times Peach-fronted Parakeet also raids fields of soybeans, rice and corn. doi.org/10.2173/bow.pefpar1.01

This one was at Pantanal, MT, Brasil.

Wishing a Peaceful Bokeh Wednesday!

Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

More of the tulipa tarda. Our weather has warmed up and we should be free of the white stuff until October.

Amerasia Restaurant in Covington, Kentucky is a favorite. Love the dining experience and artsy crowd.

White-fronted Geese are unusual visitors to Surrey but this winter there have been a number reported around the county. This was one of three reported close to home over the Christmas period so it was good to catch up up with them recently.
