Silver City was another thriving town near Helena that was founded to support silver mines. We couldn't find any remains of Silver City, even this bar which traded on the name, did not survive. I guess the bar is the ghost of a ghost town.
The silver-eared mesia (Leiothrix argentauris) is a species of bird from South East Asia.
The silver-eared mesia is a seasonal breeder, with the season lasting from November to August, although the season starts later, in April, in the northern part of its range.
Both the male and female are involved in building the nest, a deep cup of bamboo and other dead leaves lined with rootlets and fern fibres.
The species was once placed in the large Old World babbler family Timaliidae, but that family has recently been split with this species being placed with the laughingthrushes in the new family Leiothrichidae.
Silver fox is just a melanistic Red Fox as is a Cross Fox they constitute about 10% of the population
The Silver-beaked Tanager is one of those birds that tend to drive me a little crazy. They are pretty common in their range but they are (at least for me) quite a challenge to get a good photo of. The bright beak is definitely a challenge against the dark body but they also are usually very active making them extra challenging.
We will be doing this trip again in spring of 2019, if you think you might be interested more information is available here: www.texastargetbirds.com/group-photo-trips/2019-trinidad/

Ramphocelus carbo
A wonderful backlit Silver-studded Blue this morning. Only saw 2 this morning, 1 yesterday, however these still feel early.
Always a delight to see.
I was quite obsessed with this tree back in the late 1980's. I was lucky enough to catch it after a freezing rain one morning or as Cape Bretoners call it, 'Silver Thaw'. This tree lived just off Mira Rd. in Sydney back in the day. I'm not sure if it is still around, but it was a beauty. It was photographed using a Minolta Maxxum 9000 using Kodachrome 64. I asked Mama not to take my Kodachrome away...but alas.

Have a "Happy Macro Monday"

Many, many thanks for all your views, faves and comments.
(12/365) I do enjoy a glass of wine but almost as much I enjoy the beautiful labels, I've photographed a dozen or more over the past couple of years (see my Booze & Food album). This just happens to be Australian again! Don't get all big headed DaveSPN. I don't very often buy the wines in question (as was the case today) because they are mostly out of my price range.

This Silver Gull chicks nest was located in the grasses you can see in the right of the image.
Whilst the parents were out foraging the chick would often wander down to the gutter and check out this strange new world.

The silver-washed fritillary is a large, pale orange butterfly. It gets its name from the silver streaks on the underside of the wing. The upper wing has an intricate pattern of black spots and lines, whilst the underside of the rear wing is washed lime-green and pink, with silvery streaks running across it.
Adults are on the wing throughout the summer, from late June to the end of August. Silver-washed fritillaries live in large broadleaved woodlands (especially oak woodlands), and feed on Bramble and other flowers in sunny glades and rides. The caterpillars feed on violets, particularly common dog-violet.
Found in southern England, the silver-washed fritillary can be found on grassland, heathland and moorland, woodland, and in towns and gardens.
This Silver Gull had paused to have a drink. I have a lot on for the next 5-6 days so will be posting from the archives. I will try to keep up with all your lovely images.

This solid silver tomb was the third version of the tomb of John of Nepomuk in St. Vitus Cathedral, Prague.
I found it to be hideously beautiful. Really not very nice, but amazing.
John of Nepomuk's original tomb was marked by a small stone near the altar in St. Vitus' Cathedral. It quickly became an object of veneration. Christians from several sects believed not paying Nepomuk's grave proper respect could lead to calamities like paralysis or even death. When Fynes Moryson visited Prague in 1590, he found this practice still widespread. Several such incidents were actually cited as evidence during Nepomuk's canonization
To prevent it from being stepped on, a grille was placed around the gravestone in 1421. The grille made the tomb more prominent, attracting more veneration. In 1530, a second grille was placed around the first. The Winter King Frederick V had the railings torn down in 1619. A proper tomb was erected in 1694. A third version of the tomb was designed by Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach and created by Antonio Corradini in 1736. It remains in the cathedral today.
On 31 May 1721, John of Nepomuk was beatified. He was canonized on 19 March 1729 under Pope Benedict XIII. The acts of the process, comprising 500 pages, distinguish two Johns of Nepomuk and sanction the cult of the one who was drowned in 1383 as a martyr of the sacrament of penance.
Iceland's Eystrahorn which is composed of gabbro, a dark, jagged lava rock rich in magnesium and iron. There is apparently also evidence of silver and gold but with it's steep scree slopes you'd imagine that might be rather difficult to find and extract!
