♫ Tiny buffles ♫ In the brine
♫ Make me happy ♫ Make me feel fine
See... He's smiling! :-)

So lucky to have seen the smallest of our Coppers again this year.
This northern species is an obligate dweller of acidic bogs and wet sedge meadows with wild cranberries.
The entire life cycle of the Bog Copper depends on wild cranberries (in this location Small Cranberry/Vaccinium oxycoccos). The tiny white blooms provide nectar for the adults, females lay their eggs on the undersides of the tiny leaves and the larvae feed on the shoots and leaves.
As with other small butterflies, there is only one brood per year and the lifespan of the adults is rather short. They spend most of their life in other forms with eggs surviving ice and periodic inundation submerged in freezing water and the larvae feeding on the cranberry leaves the following spring. The adults emerge in early July and may fly for two to three weeks.
Freshly emerged males have beautiful purplish sheen on top of their wings. This individual is perched on a blackberry bloom. (see my other shots in this series)

I've always found delight in discovering leaves that have been the host to small critters and their hungry mouths. It's as if they were creating small Rorschach test cards. Today I found myself lost in thought as I studied some of the organic shapes created by these small artists.
My little white terrier sotted this little guy on the siding of the house. I've only seen one toad smaller than this little frog. He was quit patient with me getting close to him.
Is he the little maker or the little keeper of the crystals? We may never know; we only know he is adorable! :)

I don't take much with me on a regular basis but one thing that is always with me is this tiny led torch on my keyring. It's small but still a bright light when needed (I even used it to light Tasku for a photo on one occasion), and it's rechargeable.
The image measures a little under 2" in width.
A nice shade garden shrub. It loses it's leaves in winter but comes back again in Spring. Tiny flowers barely noticeable, it's main assets are the colorful leaves.
Based upon the leaves and flowers, I think it's probably Spiraea japonica
