Question Mark (Polygonia interrogationis) U.S. National Arboretum, Washington DC
Your wish is my command. On the last day of this unseasonably warm weather (74 Fahrenheit today dropping down to more seasonal 54 degrees tomorrow) I wished to see one more new butterfly species. Out of the blue, there was a fluttering and this beautiful Question Mark settled on a magnolia tree and was basking in the sun. Its wings backlit by the sun produced some uncommon images of this butterfly. In this ventral view (closed wing position), both the dorsal (top view) and ventral (bottom view) markings are visible.
Before sunrise on a stormy Fall morning a bull moose crosses the Snake River at Oxbow Bend in Grand Teton National Park while two Trumpeter Swans languish in the morning's quiet time.
Cool and cloudy at North Cascades National Park today. Two nights ago I was returning from Bellingham and had just turned onto the short, narrow lane that leads to my trailer when a mountain lion crossed the path in front of me. Last night I heard a huge crash of trees and brush in the forest close by...My hairs were standing up all day yesterday, especially when hearing some sort of animal prowling around. My trailer is backed up to thick forest and tall trees. Does he live there or is he just visiting - that is the question. Tomorrow I take a boat ride up Ross Lake to Hozeman for a weekend camping trip and a Canadian holiday. Looking forward to this trip and the photo ops.

It is always a thrill for me to return to the city where I was born.
Melancholic, yes, the streets are filled with the ghosts of loved ones.
I love the non-touristic places, where there is silence, where I can hear the sound of distant voices and laughter, where I can recall, the little blond girl, at the hand of a grown-up, looking up, always full of questions...
But also a happy reunion and revisit of places that are so dear to me and so filled with joy and happiness.
This is the Potterierei, along one of the canals, dappled sunlight flecking walls and windows, highlighting and the sunflowers inside and the cobweb.
Yes, Autumn was already nearing it would seem.
Have a lovely day and thank you, as always for your visits, M, (*_*)

If I'd have been shown this photo I would have assumed it was an Orca attacking a Dolphin. But all is not as it seems, as this male Orca is one of the salmon-eating "residents" off Vancouver Island. "Transient" Orcas (aka Bigg's Killer Whales) feed on seals and dolphins but these Pacific White-sided Dolphins were pestering the Orcas to try and steal salmon. Fish-eating Orcas are highly vocal and we dropped a microphone into the water to listen to their "singing", which was amazing. But mammal-eating Orcas are largely silent in stealth mode when they are hunting. The two Orcas look rather similar but the Dolphins clearly know the difference as they would have high-tailed it out of there if these were Bigg's Killer Whales, presumably recognising them by their silence. For interest here is a Bigg's Killer Whale and I wrote about them in more detail under this photo: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/53180099539/in/photolist
This photo of a Dolphin and Orca together was taken in the Johnstone Strait off the NE coast of Vancouver Island in Canada a few days ago. And the title "What's Going On" was of course from Marvin Gaye's 1971 single and album (but without a question mark).
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.

This week in 1998, space shuttle Discovery and STS-91 launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center on the ninth and final Shuttle-Mir docking mission. Between March 1995 and May 1998, NASA and Russian scientists conducted experiments on the Russian space station designed to answer vital questions about how humans function in space and how to build future space stations. Today, the Payload Operations Integration Center at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center serves as "science central" for the International Space Station, working 24/7, 365 days a year in support of the orbiting laboratory's scientific experiments. The NASA History Program is responsible for generating, disseminating, and preserving NASA's remarkable history and providing a comprehensive understanding of the institutional, cultural, social, political, economic, technological, and scientific aspects of NASA's activities in aeronautics and space.

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 :)
This is something that will kill humanity eventually. Death will come, today, tomorrow, or in ten years - the question isn't "if"; the only question is "when".

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".

Thank you very much to all of you my dear Flickr friends for your so kind comments!
Ok Woodsman! Your ego isn’t too humiliated?
I just want to put your ego knockout! :)))
Woodsman, do you realize how many sexual acts I see in spring and summer around my stream? :)))
Yesterday I asked to you these questions: do you see that your desires are the expression of your insatisfaction about your past, your insufficiensies? and do you think it’s the samething with the sexual desires?
You answered you were not sure!
Woodsman, you certainly know that your sexuality is the source of all the energy? Right?
Do you realize that in the life of all the people the sexual acts with their lover are the closer experience to the unity…. the closer experience to your return to the unity?
But also, do you realize too that your sexual attirance for the women is always caused by your separation of the unity?
Do you see better now that your total satisfaction is impossible as much as you’re separated of your lover… of the others…. of the light… of the nature?
Ok Woodsman, that’s all for today! Tomorrow my questions/story will be on the difference between you and me!
:)))… to be continued tomorrow…!
My wild river reflection!

I'd come over with a camera because there was a juvenile male king parrot about. The handful of seeds was to encourage him to come into the open where there was more light and he wouldn't be backlit.
That's when an adult male flew into him and spoiled everything. Now there was no chance of him coming out of cover.
None of that meant a thing to these opportunists. This pair of crested pigeons pounced on the unattended goodies. Personally, I think of them as pointy pigeons — it makes more sense, and rolls off the tongue more easily. The female is on the left. The big lump, his head a blurred pecking machine, is the male. I know this for certain because he'd done his silly tail up jig. She was having none of it. What she wanted was lunch.
There's other different things in the frame: a horseshoe, complete with still clinched nails and in the background, a very rusted, very, very large bit. I have no notion how that shoe with clinched nails could have made it off a hoof, but it conveniently stops bird seed flying everywhere. There was a horse's skull in the paddock for a time so I do wonder if the two things were related. Stuff like this keeps turning up: broken china, odd spoons, bottles of all sorts, even a Victorian Era Army belt buckle, pre-Federation, with the British Royal motto. Yep, that's different!
Question. How far do you lean outside of a train window to take a photo. I don’t know, “but I win”! I must be round the bend. A forgotten photo from 2019.
re-processed this photo of Aaron from about a month back.
he's been doin weeeeerk lately, so go check out his stream!
