"See my question mark?" This punctuation sign can be seen in silver sitting right in the center of the butterfly's hind wing on this ventral view. The "question mark" design cannot be seen from the typical top view. This lovely leaf mimic butterfly will overwinter in a sheltering woodpile or similar outside hide.
Long time exposure of the Speicherstadt in Hamburg, Germany. The big question will always be, what is the correct color for such images. I decided to go full monochromatic on this one.
Bowtie Arch appears to be more of a pothole, but, as such, it does qualify to be called an arch. There is no question, however, as to its spectacular setting, carved out of colorful entrada sandstone so prevalent throughout Utah. Late day light here brings out the marvelous coloration of the surrounding cliffs and their "desert varnish" (manganese and iron oxides which coat the rocks and appear as dark vertical striations). Located within several miles of Arches National Park, Bowtie is located off Route 279, a very scenic road bounded by the Colorado River on one side and towering sandstone cliffs on the other. Due to its out of the way location and the moderately strenuous hike involved, this arch is relatively unknown and lightly visited - a shame, because it's one of my favorites in this area.

My grandson saw a frog on the water on the side of the boardwalk. When the frog disappeared, there was a question of which direction that it went.

Seasonally dimorphic, the fall form of this species with strong lavender edging and predominantly orange coloration on the dorsal hind wings will overwinter as an adult. It will be one of the earliest butterflies to fly in spring and may even be encountered on warm winter days in early February. This butterfly does not rely on floral nectar, but prefers to sip flowing tree sap, carrion and dung. Male butterflies love to puddle and are notoriously territorial meeting any intruder that enters their territory.

In a dream it would seem
I went to those who close the open door
And turning the key I sat and spoke to those
inside of me
They answered my questions with questions
And they pointed me into the night
Where the moon was a star painted dancer
And the world was just a spectrum of light
They reached to my centre of reason
And pulled on the touchstone that's there
The shock of that light had me reeling
And I fell into the depths of despair
Turning the key I sat and spoke to those
inside of me
They answered my questions with questions
And they set me to stand on the brink
Where the sun and the moon were as brothers
And all that was left was to think
They answered my questions with questions
And they pointed me into the night
And the power that bore me had left me alone
To figure out which way was right
Thank you .. Manfred Mann's Earth Band 😎👍
Here's some notable members of the GCPD who are loyal to the Bat Family, including Commissioner Gordon and his daughter.
Batgirl here was originally based on the Rebirth design and the new figure, but with the LBM purple/yellow color scheme - then it ended up being remarkably similar to the new Gotham Knights design, and kishalego's figure version! Lots of coincidence/common influence, I guess.

What is reality? Is it an image? A reflection of an image? Or is it what we see?
Well... no to all of these. So the question remains an intriguing one. And the more I read about human perception the more intriguing it becomes: our minds don't see what our eyes do…
(And if, perchance, you find your curiosity piqued, ask yourself the question why are tiger and zebra stripes vertical and not horizontal. It’s not an accident and nor a creative whim, and the answer is relevant to photography too….)
This is for the Smile on Saturday group’s Reflection on Black theme.
It’s a visual tease of course. There are three questions in the puzzle:
What is it?
Which way is what?
Where’s the mirror?
All easy to answer, but if your eyes pause even for a moment as they work it out I will feel I have succeeded in my objective.
Curiously, for me, I found it much more obvious looking at the thumbnail than at the full-screen version. And that itself is a comment on our perception I think....
I read somewhere, and it’s true for me, that a photograph that takes the mind a little while to work out generally will be perceived as a more interesting one. And that is why we find record shots and clichéd images less engaging than the creative ones - sometimes just changing the viewpoint makes capture interesting (we all take our images at head height don’t we lol.)
This is part of a set I took 18 months ago, though I only processed this particular perspective today. If you want confirmation of what it is you can rummage through my photostream to find out...
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image! Happy Smile on Saturday :)
[Tripod mount; delayed-release. Black background on black glazed ceramic tile, side-lit with LED torch.
Processed in Capture One using levels to make things blacker and then balancing the light to give some detail in the reflection. Enhanceds colours, particularly the blue and the orange. Because I like them :)
Used a gradient masked layer to brighten the reflection part to decrease the disparity in lightness against the source.
Nik Color Efex Pro for a Classic Soft Focus effect to introduce a glow to the highlights. This was a bit over the top so I blended the effect layer back into the original using Darken mode.
Flipped vertically. For fun.
Then we were done :)]
There’s long been a philosophical question of whether art is more likely to imitate life (mimesis) or life is more likely to imitate art (anti-mimesis).
Oscar Wilde a champion of anti-mimesis, opined in his 1889 essay The Decay of Lying that, "Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life". In the essay, written as a Platonic dialogue, Wilde holds that anti-mimesis "results not merely from Life's imitative instinct, but from the fact that the self-conscious aim of Life is to find expression, and that Art offers it certain beautiful forms through which it may realise that energy.
The title of this portrait arose from the evolution of the piece itself. I've been coming to cat-sit in London since 2015 and this is my third stay. I noticed this graffiti in Crouch End the very first time I came, but somehow all the best intention of pulling together a portrait dissolved during the trip and once again it was left an unrealised idea.
This year I promised myself I would attempt it, even if it didn't work, I would at least try. It took 30 mins of trying to find something I liked. This composition is something I have done before several times during this project.
Originally I wasn't wearing my yellow coat, but after 30 mins of shooting it was getting cold and starting to rain so I didn't care. It was then I realised that I was actually dressed to match the graffiti which has happened before in the past :) Sometimes Art can imitate life :)

I have been busy this evening researching information about this tiny little pigeon who arrived in our garden this afternoon.. It is Australian. I can only think it must be an escapee as they do not live in the UK but are bred in captivity here. It spent about an hour in the garden eating seeds and drinking water with the Sparrows. It flew off to the fields. Has anyone else ever seen one and is it possible for it to survive our cold winters is the question I ask?

Lizzie, Lissie, and Giraffe
Lizzie was Mum's, then became Dad's. He won Lissie in a raffle, and gave her to me. I bought him the giraffe, and then inherited it and Lizzie :-)
Question Mark (Polygonia interrogationis)
Went for a drive to check out the status of several parks and came across 5 specie of butterflies of which one was this beautiful "Question Mark".
This Christmas, the Peanuts gang are performing "The Seven Questions of Christmas" at the Bijou Planks Theater! The show is now reaches it finale on Christmas Day as Charlie Brown takes center stage!
"Why Christmas? We see in 1 Timothy, chapter 1, verse 15, "This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”—and I am the worst of them."
As we have seen throughout the presentation, on Christmas day we celebrate the Lord Jesus Christ, fully God, stepping into His creation and becoming fully man as well. Why did He do this? Why Christmas? So that we can be saved. So that we can be made right with God, by God.
We celebrate the birth of Christ Jesus who came specifically to do the terrible work necessary to save all those who would repent and believe.
"We see the good news in Titus 2:11, For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people" All people, no matter where they are from, who they are, or what they've done, can be saved by turning to the Lord, Christ Jesus in belief. Even, as we just saw, if we are the worst of sinners.
That's why we have a Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone!"

A year of the shows and performers of the Bijou Planks Theater.
CHRISTmas! He is truly the reason for the season as there would be no Christmas without Him, making our traditions of gifts and celebrations disingenuous if they do not point to the Lord, Christ Jesus.

Du 26 mars au 9 juin 2021 sur les Champs-Elysées (entre le Rond-Point et la place de la Concorde), vingt sculptures monumentales du Chat de Philippe Geluck seront exposées.
L’animal le plus populaire de la bande dessinée envahit la plus belle avenue du monde. Dix-huit ans après son exposition à l’École nationale des Beaux-Arts, Philippe Geluck se voit accueilli (comme Fernando Botero le fut en 1992) dans l’espace urbain le plus prestigieux de la capitale française pour y présenter 20 Chat monumentaux en bronze.
Une exposition impressionnante dans laquelle Le Chat, comme à son habitude, nous fait rire, nous questionne et nous touche par les sujets profonds qu’il aborde avec légèreté.
Head full of questions, how can you measure up?
To deserve affection, to ever be enough
For this existence
When did it get so hard?
Your heart is beating, alive and breathing
And there's a reason why
You are essential, not accidental
And you should realize
You are beloved
I wanted you to know
You are beloved
Let it soak into your soul
Oh, forget the lies you heard
Rise above the hurt
And listen to these words
You are beloved
I want you to know
You are beloved
You are beloved
Sometimes a heart can feel like a heavy weight
It pulls you under and you just fall away
Is anybody gonna hear you call?
But there's a purpose
Under the surface
And you don't have to drown
Let me remind you
That love will find you
Let it lift you out
Don't be afraid
Don't let hope fade
Keep your eyes fixed on the light above
In the heartbreak, in your mistakes
Nothing can separate you from love
Don't be afraid
Don't let hope fade
Keep you eyes fixed on the light above
In the heartbreak, in your mistakes
Nothing can separate you from love

Where have all the butterflies gone? And just a week ago there were so many. I have another question mark butterfly for you.
On our visit to the Ol Pejeta Wildlife Conservancy, we observed a group of chimpanzees at the chimpanzee conservancy. One of the Chimps that caught my eye was this fella! Laying in the Sun and enjoying the breeze, it appeared he was thinking about some deep philosophical questions! Apes are amazing aren't they?
(Cut outside, across the street from the club, to the spot where the pop-up coffee vendor was previously parked. The lot is dark and unlighted now, Ronan, Sienna, and Mateo are waiting when Caly jogs up.)
Caly: Where is Lucas?
Sienna: We were hoping he hooked up with you.
Ronan: I don't think he's her type.
Sienna: Picture me punching your arm for that dumb visual. (to Ronan) I mean, I thought he might have met you (to Caly) on your way here.
Caly: He did not, and we can't wait. (motions for the black-clad trio to follow her across the street, toward the landscaping beside the stone front entrance gate)
(Cut to the quartet reaching a side door of the club, Caly trying the door.)
Caly: Locked, and there appears to be a guard inside so I can't risk breaking in, here.
Ronan: I'd have infiltrated if I knew they were going into lockdown.
Caly: You didn't know. We'll find another way. (looks around) Mateo, take them to the place you got in, before. It sounds like they don't consider it important, but if you get in, wait for my signal.
Mateo: Where are you going?
Caly: I can get into places the two of you can't.
Ronan: So can I.
Caly: I want you to stay with them, as muscle.
Ronan: I feel so empowered. (preens)
Caly: All of you, this is a deadly situation. I want you to use the weapons I gave you on anyone you encounter. Don't ask questions, don't wait to decide if they're human or inhabited. If they're human, it won't hurt them. If they're inhabited, they're your enemy. Understand?
Mateo: We're fighting evil alien invaders. Got it.
Caly: (smiles) Good. I'll meet you inside. (she darts away, vanishing into the darkness)
Sienna: She forgot to tell us what the signal will be.
Ronan: She's a tenet. It's bound to be -- obvious.
(Cut to Lilitus draining another human while Trajan absorbs the life essence of another inhabited human.)
Lilitus: I can't recall the last time I delighted in so many courses! Wait, I do remember. The soirée on that human's island, with all the delectable girls.
(Cut to outside, Caly's skirting the building when a hand reaches out from a ground level window, touching her ankle. She kicks away the hand, spinning and drawing her weapon.)
Levi: (his smiling face is framed in the window) Getting old, tenet? You should have sensed me.
Caly: (drily) Maybe I did.
Levi: Acerbic. (motions) This way.
Caly: I have others with me.
Levi: I saw them. They're going in through a service entrance. We'll meet up with them. Coming? (vanishes into the interior darkness)
(Caly doesn't hesitate, slipping through the open window, and closing it behind her.)
(to be continued)
Thank you to the cast!
Levi: Erebus
Caly: TB
