the macromonday theme this week is the periodic table-- so here's my minimal possibility ~grin~. and the cobalt is cobalt blue

Purple-edged Copper : (Lycaena hippothoe)

At the tea shop in Deene Hall. Nice place, surrounded by things such as these, as well as a beautiful cooking range.

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

An inbound Freeport-McMoRan copper train drops down the hill from Morenci into the yard at Clifton. On the right, AZER 203 builds its train in the yard. The 203 would come out with the shuttle of two FMI copper shuttles - with less oppressive gradients, two B40-8s are able to pull what took the power and dynamic braking of 10 Geeps to bring out of Morenci.

Reflections in a lake at Sheffield park, Sussex.

On a blooming corn lily! The Sierra Discovery Trail on Bowman Lake Road in Nevada County isn't much of a trail, but it's got some great butterfly meadows.

Nevada City, Ca. June, 2020.

These classic copper pots are in the dining room of Monet's home in Giverny. Although they are no longer used for cooking, there are enough to cook a fine feast for a crowd.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American friends, and a happy Thursday to all. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

Macro Mondays

Sooty Copper : Lycaena tityrus

Kennecott Copper MP15AC No. 906 leads an empty ore train from Magna through Central Junction on a bitter cold Dec. 9, 1978 afternoon in the Salt Lake Valley's west side. The train will tie up in Copperton Yard where an electric pit motor will pull the empties into the Bingham Copper Mine for reloading.
