This Small Copper (Lycaena phlaeas) sits to the side of the path we're following out of Mickledon Valley, warming itself in the summer sunshine and taking minerals from the soil.

I've taken a similar picture before but with the addition of some new rocks and some nice light, it was worth another go

“Copper Elf” digital, 2025. Apparently an elf typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 750 years old. Who knew

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.

I made this copper enameled pin one summer when my parents let me take an art class at a local high school. I think I was about 12. I loved the class and everything we did in it. After I finished the 4 copper enameled projects, I never made another piece. Still one of my favorite pieces of jewelry!!!

This picture was taken from a vista point near Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. This road leads to the southern entrance to the park and it ends at the Kennecott Mine. The brown color in the water comes from melting glaciers that feed the rivers. We continued driving and saw an area on the river where there were a dozen fish wheels sitting on the bank. It is an interesting area to visit with a lot of history.

The NS OCS is down to a crawl as it climbs the nearly 2% serpentine grade over Copper Ridge.

Looking up at the copper-clad underside of The Vessel, a public sculpture-and-hiking-trail in the new Hudson Yards development west of Madison Square Garden in Manhattan.

 

The reflections were surreal and dream-like, almost Dali-esque.

 

The original was rotated and then only lightly retouched to create this version of the photo.

Hummer & flowers in 'tooled' copper (?) on black background. Artist to still be ascertained. Private collection.

 

It was difficult to photograph this framed work. The protective glass had so many reflections I had to avoid via crouching at awkward angles, but as worth it as a hummingbird finding nectar in a flower!

A box full of copper coins - pennies and tuppence pieces -long since cast aside before the pandemic. I now very rarely pay with cash and can't recall the last time I used coins. I should take these to my local Coinstar machine.

The colours are changing, Autumn is well and truly here

April 2024 : The Copper-throated Sunbird is a lovely bird to photograph. Especially the male. Always best when it is in sunlight so you can see the iridescent feathers on display. The challenge is that they live in the mangrove forest, where light is at a premium.

What are iridescent feathers? They are the result of the refraction of incident light caused by the microscopic structure of the feather barbules. The refraction works like a prism, splitting the light into rich, component colors. As the viewing angle changes, the refracted light becomes visible in a glowin

My favorite "sunrise in paradise" location on Key West. These palms are featured on Jimmy Buffett's A1A album, and the back cover is about 50 yards north of here. While he lived here this was a favorite spot of his and he wrote a few songs here. Have been attempting to get the best shot of these palms for many years. I'M STILL TRYING!
