Here is the Question Mark perched on some Perennial Peas just after it was released. This was a butterfly reared from a caterpillar found on June 3. The photos in this set display the development of the caterpillar over the time that it was kept it in a container. The caterpillar was provided with fresh leaves each day from the tree where it had originally been captured. The caterpillar of this butterfly is very colorful. To see the development of this butterfly from when I first found it as a small caterpillar, view the rest of the photos in the set. The container for the caterpillar was a small, inexpensive covered plastic storage container with some holes punched into the lid. It is best to clean out the container each day and to provide fresh leaves from the plant where it was found. If the caterpillars are healthy, they will eat a lot and produce a lot of frass. Leaves are kept fresh by placing the stem portion into a small plastic baggie with a water-soaked cotton ball.
A question that often pops up in conversation with various people is, "how do you stay so grounded with everything that's happened to you?"
Well. This should pretty much sum it up. This kind of thing happens to me ALL the time, so even if I took the opportunity, every ONCE in a while to feel grand, the universe pretty much slaps me right back down - so it all evens out.
I'm singing in a truly lovely theater right now - a theater where they know me - I've performed here twice before to pretty decent acclaim. And yet, apparently they know me as "Joyde".
That's cool. I'm grateful all the same for the chance to smile a little bit!
Question Mark Butterfly, This rather plain looking butterfly is a lifer for me.
This is the light phase of the Question Mark, so the signature Question Mark in the back wing, from which it gets its name and is so visible in the dark phase is very difficult to see. Question marks are a moderately common woodland butterfly.
They are definitely the most difficult butterflies to photograph that I have ever encountered, Firstly they do not feed on nectar so they do not visit flowers, secondly they live on the edge of woods and will retreat ligh into the trees if disturbed, thirdly they are extremely skittish - and generally will not let a person get closer than ten or twently feet. Lastly they only sit for a few seconds before they flit away. So although I have seen Question Marks on several occasions, I have never even come close to getting a shot until this.- next time I get the spectacular black orange and violet upper wing.
Question Marks are a member of the Comma family of forest butterflies.

Tutto questo tempo a chiedermi
Cos'è che non mi lascia in pace
Tutti questi anni a chiedermi
Se vado veramente bene

This the first and last question mark I've ever seen! Was thrilled to see it, so it's included in my 2015 favorites.

Built in the XIV/XV century to commemorate the victory of the 6.000 men of the Portuguese army, against the 32.000 Spanish soldiers in one of their many invasion attempts, the Monastery of Batalha is the most glorious example of the Gothic architecture in Portugal.
The story tells that in the 1383-1385 crisis, when the Spanish army with their king was marching to Lisbon to claim the throne they encountered a small Portuguese army. Laughing of such small force they've decided to pass around because they didn't want to be delayed in their conquest. The Portuguese seeing that the only chance to keep the independence was to fight and win, started to insult the Spanish calling them cowards. It had its result as the Spanish decided to turn back to teach the Portuguese a lesson...
Right from the start the battle was a catastrophe to the Spanish. When their cavalry charged, the knights started to fall into the many traps built in the battle camp. Those who escaped reached the Portuguese army in a disordered formation and tried to pull back. But while some were trying to get back, large numbers of Spanish knights not understanding what was happening continued to charge and push all in their front against the Portuguese spears! More, the Portuguese army chose a very narrow space to fight and the long spears of the Spanish knights were not maneuverable, so they started to break them in half to make them shorter. The problem was that when the broken piece was thrown to the ground the horses tripped in them and fell...
Soon it became a catastrophe to the Spanish and their king was forced run to Spain barely escaping the Portuguese persecuting force. This victory kept Portugal safe for the next 200 years...
The aptly named Got A Question before the sixth race at Santa Anita Park racetrack in Arcadia, California, U.S.A. (Jan. 7, 2009)
One of 7124 pubs?
Member of a Kommanditgesellschaft?
When was it abandoned?
How does it look like inside?
I could not find any people, who would have answered my questions.
But I had a feeling of seeing a kind of lost history ...

Dr. Lynn Rothschild has spent her career asking one of the most profound questions in science: what is life, and where else might it exist? As an astrobiologist at NASA’s Ames Research Center, she studies the limits of life on Earth to better understand its potential beyond our planet. Her work brings together microbiology, synthetic biology, and evolutionary biology in a search for universal principles that govern living systems.
Rothschild’s curiosity extends from Earth’s most extreme environments to the design of life itself. She studies organisms that thrive in high radiation, intense heat, or toxic chemistry, using them as models for what might survive on Mars or Europa. At the same time, she is pioneering the use of synthetic biology to enable space exploration. By programming microbes to make materials, medicines, and fuels, she envisions future missions that “grow” what they need instead of carrying it from Earth. This vision is practical as well as poetic, turning biology into a new kind of engineering.
Educated at Yale, Indiana University, and Brown, Rothschild has combined the rigor of science with the wonder of exploration. At NASA Ames, she founded the Synthetic Biology Initiative, leading interdisciplinary teams that blend the creativity of design with the precision of genetics. She has advised space missions, mentored generations of researchers, and worked closely with engineers, designers, and artists to imagine living technologies that could transform both space and Earth.
Rothschild’s influence reaches beyond the lab. She is a frequent speaker at scientific and cultural institutions, including The Long Now Foundation, where she challenges audiences to think about life across cosmic timescales. Her work invites us to see biology not only as the study of life as it is, but as a toolkit for life as it could be.
Whether exploring extremophile microbes in volcanic lakes or programming DNA to create sustainable materials, Rothschild embodies the idea that science is both discovery and invention. Her optimism about life’s resilience and adaptability offers a hopeful counterpoint to the fragility of our own biosphere. In her view, life is a restless experiment, and humanity’s next frontier lies in learning how to live wisely, both on this planet and beyond.
