Macro Mondays Weekly Challenge
Theme: "Copper"
HAPPY 😊 Macro Mondays!
Thank you very much for the faves and kind words of support! Much appreciated!
The Small Copper is usually seen in ones and twos, but in some years large numbers may be found at good sites. Males are territorial, often choosing a piece of bare ground or a stone on which to bask and await passing females. They behave aggressively towards any passing insects, returning to the same spot when the chase is over.
Though it remains a common and widespread species, the Small Copper declined throughout its range during the twentieth century. Widespread through Britain and Ireland, and occasionally visits gardens.

A gift from a friend in Juneau, AK. "The pin was individually cut from copper, shaped by hand, and "flame painted" with a welding torch. The color and pattern on each piece is unique and cannot be duplicated." Dave Stout, Alaskan Fire Copper Flame Painting
Happy Macro Monday!

Small Copper (Lycaena phlaeas)
5 September 2018, Cuttle Pool Nature Reserve, Warwickshire Wildlife Trust, Temple Balsall
The Small Copper is a fast flying butterfly that, once settled, is unmistakable with its bright copper-coloured forewings. It is a widespread species and a familiar and welcome sight for many naturalists throughout the summer months. This butterfly occurs in discrete colonies throughout Britain and Ireland, but is absent from mountainous areas and far north-west Scotland, the Outer Hebrides and Shetland. Most colonies are fairly small, with just a few adults being seen on the wing at any one time.
The Governor's Palaces always maintained the best European trained cooks. Many of these cooks had their backgrounds in French cuisine, and had the best tools to cook with, including numerous copper pots.
For #MacroMondays and this week's theme #Scrubware.
Happy Macro Monday!
Thanks for all your faves and comments everyone!
I really appreciate them!

OT-1 departs the mine at Ray underneath an incredibly dramatic February sky. Just south of the mine, the railroad passes a particularly large cluster of cactus growth along the right of way.
Small Copper (Lycaena phlaeas)

As we head toward Autumn the temperatures start to fall this Small Copper takes advantage of the few flowers that are still providing nectar.
Following a track along the River Glaslyn I saw these ferns above traces of copper. There used to be copper mines in the neighbourhood and there is a disused railway line along which the copper was transported.
A second shot of one of the Small Coppers from my new site on the last day of the #BigButterflyCount - don't forget to get out today and count how many Butterflies you can see in 15 minutes
The orange glittering wings of the purple-edged copper are amazing. There is a purple shimmer between the orange wing and the black outlines which are the reason for its name
Lycaena eurydame
Die orange glitzernden Flügel des Lilagold-Feuerfalters leuchten unglaublich intensiv. Zwischen dem Orange der Flügel und den schwarzen Rändern kann mann ein lila Schimmern sehen, die dem Falter den Namen gegeben haben.

Taken for the Macro Monday theme of 'slices' of food.
A slice of toast loaded with Vintage Dundee Orange Marmalade.
"In 1797 the first jar of marmalade was produced in Dundee, Scotland. Mackays, a family business, is now the last remaining producer of the Dundee Orange Marmalade in the Dundee area - 'The Home of Marmalade'
Using traditional open copper pans, the highest quality bitter Seville oranges and their authentic methods, ensure rich fruit flavours in every batch and that special home-made taste you expect"
It was delicious!!
Two bright #copper toroids borrowed from my husband. He has such fascinating items for my #MacroMondays box of macro thingies.
As shot, no increased vibrancy or saturation.
In case you wondered, these (less than 5.08 centimeters / 2 inches edge to edge) ... are toroidal inductors and transformers that use magnetic cores with a toroidal (ring or donut) shape. They are passive electronic components, consisting of a circular ring or donut/doughnut shaped magnetic core of ferromagnetic material such as laminated iron, iron powder, or ferrite, around which wire is wound. —Wikipedia
