Kemi Badenoch asked the perfect question on Iran at Prime Minister’s Questions today: why is Britain stopping the arrows not the archer? It cut through the fog and exposed the incoherence of the Labour Government’s position. Why intercept projectiles rather than confront the hand that fires them?
Keir Starmer does not have a settled position on Iran. Over the weekend, he changed his mind on allowing the US to use RAF bases. Yesterday, he authorised the deployment of a Royal Navy warship to protect Cyprus after RAF Akrotiri was struck by a drone. It should arrive in time for Christmas.

ONE OF MY MANY QUESTIONS TO WHOEVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RECENT DRAMATIC FLICKR CHANGES IS THIS: HOW CAN THIS PHOTO BE SEEN ON A WHITE BACKGROUND???
There is an old saying used by English engineers: "IF IT IS N' T BROKEN, DO N' T TRY TO MEND IT!!!"
CHANGE FLICKR BACK!!!
Treasury of Atreus, or Grave of Agamemnon, is dated 1250 BC. The tholos tombs were royal tombs and this is the best preserved example at the Mycenae site. ( View of the door from within the tholos tomb).
Mycenae (the "Cyclopean City, rich in gold and with broad roads" according to the Homeric Epics) is an archaeological site located about 90 km southwest of Athens, in the north-eastern Peloponnese.
In the second millenium BC Mycenae was one of the major centres of Greek civilization, a military stronghold which dominated much of southern Greece. The period of Greek history from about 1600 BC to about 1100 BC is called Mycenaean in reference to Mycenae.
Legend has it that Mycenae was founded by the hero Perseus, son of Zeus and Danae, who was the daughter of King Acrisius of Argos, and that the City's massive walls were built by the Cyclops whom Perseus brought with him from Asia.
Mycenae is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Deep in the woods somewhere on the Sandia Crest, an old soldier lies fallen in the forest. This brings to mind the age-old question, "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" It is a philosophical thought experiment that raises questions regarding observation and perception. Google the phrase!

I think I like the contrast between the pin sharp dress with every detail in the front and the unfocused back
What do you think ?
(this is a real flickr-question ... we are talking about photo-technique ...)
I've been wanting to make more DC superheros so I made a simple Deadman and removed the printing on a basic flesh face for The Question.
One for the experts , Mr. Hugh Beck Collection , he is querying the location.Any suggestions please , Its dated 29.9.34. *He suggests it may ? be Route 43.
As far as I can remember, there was a question mark at the end of my sentence!
That's how I gathered a load of knowledge, never been afraid to ask a question, so the subject of this image a very useful tool all through my life!
Always hungry for the how and why.
Yet, I, luckily, do not suffer from morbid curiosity about other people. I am a good listener, they can tell me things, I'm interested, but I will rarely ask personal questions.
I don't consider this indifference, I call it respect.
Think before you ask... there are questions... you HAVE to be able to live with the answer!
If and when I want to photograph someone or something, I ask, if the answer is yes, I am happy, if it is no, I respect it, at least I ASKED!
“There are these four ways of answering questions. Which four?
There are questions that should be answered categorically [straightforwardly yes, no, this, that].
There are questions that should be answered with an analytical (qualified) answer [defining or redefining the terms].
There are questions that should be answered with a counter-question.
There are questions that should be put aside.
These are the four ways of answering questions.”
—Buddha

Why not view the set as a slide-show?
Also I often upload more than one image at the same time; I see a tendency to only view the last uploaded...
The Astro-Sled is intended to be as accurate as possible to the Lego Batman 3 version. Check the link down below to see if I got it right! Also, can anyone guess the location of the background photograph?
These purists are fairly simplistic, and I've actually featured them previously in my enormous Justice League group shot a couple weeks back. There are several other "new" custom figs that debuted in that photograph, and I plan to eventually showcase them in their own triplet shots if I can find the precious time to do so.

The Question:
Why do we let ourselves exist like this? Why should we let ourselves exist with the pain, worry and stress life provides?
The Answer:
Because we must in order to live.
Do Gentlemen prefer Blondes. So a series of photos to see what the response might be. Just some fun for a dull day in Lockdown.
Stay Safe and Well
“Hi Bertie, another sunny day.” Said Sky smiling.
“Hello Sky, where have you been? I did look and couldn’t find you.”
“I have been talking to Wellington but he soon gets fed up with me asking him questions. So, I went to Captain, he fell asleep while I was asking him questions. Perhaps it is me?”
“I don’t think so Sky, probably the questions. What did you want to know Sky?”
“Lots of things Bertie, I just don’t understand so much about different things.”
“I see, I’m not good at answers but I’ll help if I can Sky.”
“I was asking Captain about the grass and why was it green. I wanted to know where it came from for if you pull a bit up it isn’t green under the ground.”
“What did he say?”
“I don’t know as he used long words and I’m not good at long words. Then he fell asleep.”
“It is a complicated question Sky, maybe ask Posh when he arrives.”
“I could, but I have lots more questions. Bertie, do you know where clouds go and why some are white and others are grey and then some look to be much higher up than others? Elli, flies right through them and yet they don’t seem to break like I expected them to. Why don’t they break?”
“My word Sky, you do have a lot of questions. Here is Posh, perhaps he’ll be able to answer some of them for you.” Said Bertie giggling.
“Posh, will you answer some questions for me please?”
“I can try Sky but there are questions that even bears don’t yet know the answer to.”
“Well Posh, I was asking where do clouds come from and where do they go to? Why are they different colours and fly at different heights?”
“Well, Elli is the pilot so she would have a much better idea of what happens to clouds than I do. I suggest you wait for her to wake up and then ask her.”
“There I told you Sky, the answer was easy and it just takes someone as clever as Posh to put your straight.” Said Bertie smiling.
“I’ll do that Posh, now why is grass green and where does it come from? One day it can be very short then a few days later it has got much bigger and yet if you dig it up there is no green stuff underground.”
“That is easy Sky, grass is green because it is a nice colour and it is said that the insects and creepy-crawlies that live in the grass, paint it that colour at night time. There we are Sky, all your questions answered so now you have to think of something different to ask.”
“I would like blue or maybe purple coloured grass. Could you speak to the insects and creepy-crawlies and tell them to paint it a different colour?”
“No Sky, they are like buzzy things and don’t speak bear. Talking about buzzy things, how about we open a jar of honey between us?
“First sensible thing he has said if you ask me.” Said Bertie grinning.
“First thing he has said that I understand.” Said Sky.
Posh grunted his disapproval but said nothing.
“Bertie, I have lot more questions like where does the moon go in the day and why does it look like a ball? Then again, the man has hair, well a bit, and that grows long if left alone but our fur doesn’t seem to get any longer, why is that? Plus, why can’t us bears make our own honey so we don’t have to rely upon buzzy things?”
“Best of luck with that lot, Bertie.” Said Posh smiling.
“Let me ask you a question Sky, why is it we only have three jars of honey left now when there was five or six here early this morning?” Said Bertie.
“Questions, questions, questions, that is all I ever get asked.” Said Sky as he dipped his paw into a fresh jar of honey watched by Posh and Bertie.
I added the question mark because I am really not 100% sure if these are Black-bellied Plovers. I've only ever seen them in large flocks. These two birds were alone out on the rocks that lay alongside the Iona Jetty. That's a place where I discovered there's a lot of effort for little reward. The terminus of the jetty revealed one lonely Glacous-winged Gull out on the rocks. Oh well, the 4 km walk out there probably did me some good.
So when I created my Flickr account, I made my name EvolvedTurtle. But recently people are seeing it as my real name, which I've chosen to keep private. I've tried changing my screen name but the problem is still there. Does anyone else have the same problem/ know how to fix it?
Bon, alors question nom, je sèche un peu clairement. Mais j’aime bien cet engin.
Une grosse roue, un gros gun, des fusées au cul, un pilote, une artilleuse. En plus il est grosso modo équilibré. C'est-à-dire que je peux lui donner un élan modéré, et que les cockpits resteront à peu près horizontaux.

Note********************************************************************************
I just got back from the zoo and right now I'm one tired lady. I have to cook dinner and feed my dogs but I will be returning to Flickr to see as many of your beautiful picture's possible. Thanks so much for everything! You my friends are the best. I hope you have a really nice weekend and Labor Day Holiday. Hugs!
I ran into this little squirrel when I was going up the jungle path at the zoo. He or she was very interested in me and my backpack. I think the thought of food was on his or hers mind. It was really shaded where the little squirrel decided to stop and take a look at me. A sidway glance told me to be as still as possible so I could get a picture of him or her. I had troubles getting the shot because I had too large of a lens on my camera. Anyway this isn't the best picture but I still liked it enough to post it. The little squirrel was so cute. The photo is uncropped.
Do you want me to.....
I will let you finish off with what ever you want...
My suggestion is.
Spray myself with strong perfume, then dance a close and sensual rumba with the girl of my dreams.
You know who you are my darling Italian lover.
So I don't have a good reference on the dragonflies of the Eastern Seaboard, not one that addresses color variations and developmental levels.
This one was seen on James Island, South Carolina (August 2018), and it's part blue and part green, and in E. Pondhawks males are blue and females are green. So is this a normal color variation, an immature or intersexed, insect, or a different species?
Thanks in advance to anyone with a clue!
Me: What are you doing, Skye?
Skye: Silly question, I'm on the lookout of course!
Me: Are you looking for anything in particular?
Skye: Didn't you hear?
Me: Hear what?
Skye: I need to hand over the reins! The talk is all over the 52WFD. I amazed you didn't hear about it. So I'm looking for a worthy successor
Me: Silly dog, you don't need to hand over the reins. I'm not going to do 52WFD with just some random dog. We're into this together, just you and me
Skye: And mom and the kids??
Me: Sure, they are in too
Skye: Phew, I'm glad to hear that! I like it in the 52WFD!!

The zion subway and narrows are amazing for fine art photography! Especially in the autumn and winter! Loved shootng the fall colors there this year, and returning a couple more times to capture the autumn leaves as they peaked at all the different elevations!
Yes I have a Ph.D. in physics! I worked on phototranistors and photodiodes as well as an artificial retina for the blind. :)

The new Lightroom rocks!
Beautiful magnificent clouds!
View your artistic mission into photography as an epic odyssey of heroic poetry! Take it from Homer in Homer's Odyssey: "Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; but do what he might he could not save his men, for they perished through their own sheer folly in eating the cattle of the Sun-god Hyperion; so the god prevented them from ever reaching home. Tell me, too, about all these things, O daughter of Jove, from whatsoever source you may know them. " --Samuel Butler Translation of Homer's Odyssey
All the best on your Epic Hero's Odyssey from Johnny Ranger McCoy!

I have questions. I mean, if it’s supposed to be hidden, why do you label it with a big yellow sign? Why not erect the one that says “Frap Off. You’re Not Invited”?
Or is Batman going to be pissed at the NTSB?
Many of America's highway signs are made by inmates. Is this a practical joke facilitated by a petty larcenist? Whatever the answer, thanks for nuttin'..
Brincadeiras de Liz com uma lente Sigma 2.8 e uma XTI na mão...

We all have questions. Isn't it nice that a fortune cookie can tell us where to find the answers?
This beautiful Blythe doll is Unicorn Maiden. She's wearing a dress we recently received from the Blythe Pay It Forward group on Facebook; thank you Kimberly Cook for organizing the giveaway, and La Rose Ray for donating the dress. We love it! Fortune Cookie series photo #4.
