sat and posed for a nice portrait for me. I couldn't believe how close he actually let me get. He must see me when I'm filling the bird feeders. He probably thinks I work for him.
Small Copper - Lycaena phlaeas
Thank you to all who take the time to Comment/fav etc..Always
Appreciated.
Taken in very harsh light. I like this pose that gives a good look at the markings on the ventral side of the fore and hindwings, and also enough of the dorsal side of the left forewing which would have a series of dark spots there if this were a male or female Purplish Copper.
I don't see these every year. I hope to get a sharper shot.

100x walks #35 & for Sliders Sunday
Coppers is a good mile walk from my front door and serves as a 'village' store, but also has a deli and sells dozens of different cask and bottled beer. I could live there. HSS!
Kleiner Feuerfalter (Lycaena Phaeas)
Lycaena phlaeas, the small copper, American copper, or common copper, is a butterfly of the Lycaenids or gossamer-winged butterfly family. According to Guppy and Shepard (2001), its specific name phlaeas is said to be derived either from the Greek phlego, "to burn up" or from the Latin floreo, "to flourish".

Copper Fox on the run, is it food or is it fun?
Nightly searching far and wide, head and body full of pride.
Nocturnal hunting almost done, home before the morning sun.....Kath Drew
This beautiful fox was just heading out for the night I suppose as I was heading in. We both stopped, acknowledged each other and then went on our way.
Another image of a beautiful morning in the chalk grasfields. Sooty copper on his roosting spot.

Thanks everyone for visiting my stream :-)
They can still be seen sporadically. Without light the leaves are only brown. In the sun they turn into pure copper.
Noch kann man sie vereinzelt sehen. Ohne Licht sind die Blätter nur braun. In der Sonne verwandeln sie sich in pures Kupfer.
Scarce copper butterflies pack.
Bright gold-red on yellow flowers. Beautiful colors of nature on sunny day
One of the biggest challenges is coming up with an images title. I'll use this till something better comes to mind.
The seagulls were plentiful at this bridge over Alaska's Copper River, near Chitina. Sunset was waning and they were pretty aggressive. Some young were on the shoals below the bridge and they were being protective. I enjoyed their dive bombing stunts and angry calls. Wish they knew I wouldn't harm any critter or bird.
Thanks to your visit. Always appreciated!
