A Comma butterfly displaying its white ‘comma’ on the underwing.
The Comma butterfly - Polygonia c-album - is named from Polygonia, which translated from Latin is "has many angles", referring to the very angular wings. The small C-shaped white comma, on the underside of the wings, has given it the Latin name c-album and in English the name, Comma. The Latin C derives from the 3rd letter of the Greek alphabet "gamma" and "album" translated from Latin means white.
By the mid-1800s the comma was confined to the Welsh Marches, perhaps because of a decline in hop-farming – hops being a favourite food of comma caterpillars. After adapting its preferences to nettles instead its range has expanded. The comma is now found in woodland clearings and gardens throughout England and Wales and has even edged into Scotland. This northward expansion may have been aided by the UK’s warming climate.
I'm kind of aware of the fact that I don't post as frequently on Flickr as I used to. One of the reasons is that I had several albums, with dozens and dozens of photos, and I made the posting of those albums into projects that consumed a fair amount of time. I have several other albums, but there's only one that is both full of photos and full of photos of a high-quality and/or contains lots of photos with highly-interesting content. When the time comes to post that one album, I hope I remember to do it.
Meanwhile, here's a little morsel, an album I've had for a while. I don't, in fact, remember where I bought it, but it was pre-Iowa, which means either South Carolina, Florida, or the Missouri triangle as the source of purchase. For some reason, I have the state of Maryland attached to my memory of where these photos might have been taken, and where the school might be. Don't know why I have that memory, as there is no intrinsic evidence to support that association.
Most of these kids are smiling. This photographer had The Knack, and, to be honest, I worry about the kids who aren't smiling. My most haunting memory of going into the Arkansas Public Schools, K through 12 (I participated in a program called "Poets in the Schools," (though, of course, I was never a poet), until I got fired for being a bad boy (and my indiscretion does not even make for a very good story), oh yeah, my most haunting memory, is how in kindergarten, just about all the kids, rich and poor, black and white, were boiling over with irrepressible enthusiasm, and by the time they were sophomores and juniors and seniors, they had been sorted out, and the kids who as kindergartners were no less able, no less inventive, no less alive, were now, after the democratizing socialization process, shunted aside, deemed lesser, slotted to change tires down at the Firestone store, or put on an apron and primp the lettuce at the local grocery. And that was before Wal-Mart had done the worst of its work. Even the teachers, at least some, if not most of them, participated in the process. They would point out the troublemakers for you, and speak sneeringly of them. The experience was uplifting, and terribly disheartening, which is how I feel about my wonderful, dastardly country.
A few years back I had a unique photographic experience. I came across 2 foxes that were running along the side of the road. They did not seem to mind my presence, and so I walked with them for about an hour, before they decided to split up and wonder down different trails in the park. I went with one of the foxes, and we walked down and back along a marsh trail for over an hour, he hunting for voles while I tried to capture the moments. During that hour he caught 14 voles (hungry fellow) and provided me with over 500 pictures during the 2 1/2 hours I spent in total with the two of them...
To see more pics from this day and other fox photos please check out my album entitled "foxes".
TIA for all comments.
So like dorks, we all pose for an "album cover" shot. Unfortunately, the original was b-o-r-i-n-g so I didn't post it. I did a little post-production work on it to make it at least a little visually interesting, so here we are!
Better viewed in Vast Hugeness™.
Waaaay better than the last time I did this
1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random”
or click www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 - Go to "Random quotations"
or click www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4 - Use photoshop or similar to put it all together.
5 - Post it with this text in the "caption"
I'm not tagging anyone. I just wanted something to do before I even finished my first cup of coffee today.
Additionally, I think my band is an ironic hipster experiment, shunned by all because they just tried too damn hard, and their CD smacked of production values and effort.
The real reason they broke up though, is that two of them wore the same cowboy shirt two sizes too small one day, and were unable to get past the fact that they had found the same thrift store full of deadstock, thus negating how obscure the other was.
I spotted this train with F units as we were driving during my April 1973 of the Twin Cities and we were able to pull over so I could get a photo.
Yay, Explored #36 Sep 17, 2010
Thanks everyone for all the nice words and comments : )

Whilst up in Edinburgh for the day (25/04/2023) I stumbled across a display of buses at the Association of Local Bus Managers (ALBUM) Conference. ALBUM provides the opportunity to exchange best practice among its 130+ members and to influence policy for the promotion of high quality services that encourages more people to travel by bus.
