Time to ask a silly question on the blog! I'd love it if you could find a moment to offer an answer!

How to dance if you do not know the steps?

Tell me,

do you have a brook in your little heart?

because,

mine longs to run to thee...

Feedback, comments and questions are more than welcome :-)

After waiting over a month, mom finally got to Toronto and into the Apple Store to buy her Mac. (The shopping was part of the present.)

We booked a personal shopper, Dave, to help with the process and he was great! Totally worth calling ahead to have someone like Dave (or Dave himself) there to help you go through the purchase process and all the little questions that are sitting in the back of your mind.

(These are going to be used together in a flickr slideshow on unsweetened.ca)

I've been trying to paint X-23's face and I just can't get the likeness. I don't know why but it is just too tricky. What do suggest I change??

...I thought it might look a bit like this =)

For that one little child that asked me the question...do flowers grow in heaven.

Though I wish I could show her this...we met once and long ago. But hers was a question that remained in my mind up to this time...

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.

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.

Where will the Catholic church take it from here.

silly collaboration with werms, art1, try and josh?

don't ask questions,

'cause i don't know why...

After a disastrous captive breeding programme this year, I may have success with a batch of 10 Question Mark butterflies. This 40mm final instar Polygonia interragationis larva is about to pupate; the other nine caterpillars have already formed their chrysalis on the Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) food plant.

The Question Mark is a nymphalid butterfly and is the largest of the Polygonia (Comma) species from North America. It lives in wooded areas, city parks, generally in areas with a combination of trees and open space.

Thanks for your visit… Any comment you make on my photograph is greatly appreciated and encouraging! But please do not use this image without permission.

Questions: (A) What is it? - and (B) What should I call it?

Can you think of a good Artsy title or name for this happy little quasi-accident of a shot?

this is one of my favorite pictures from an entire day at warped tour.

i have a lot of live performance photos to edit and i'm not looking forward to it. a majority of them are horrible! i love concert photography, i just despise having to upload them.

i'm seeing the summer set tonight! :) fun fun.

fact #5: it's upsetting to know that people i've never spoken to personally perceive me to be the person i am not.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask me.

Ok, so first of all, the photo is completly irrelevant. People like IW so you know, I guess it's 'clickbait' in a way. Also, I guess, sorry for not posting, I'm on holiday so, you know. Plus all you lads follow lots of lads who post like 5 times a day so, you got lots to look at. Ok, on the the question...

So, I've been thinking about this for a while. Would you guys rather have quality, or quantity. Like would you rather have like one or two customs that take like 5-8 hours to make, a week? Or like five or six trash figures a week? I personally like to take my time with my figures. Like, my AK Scarecrow took me like 2 weeks of on and off work to make, and I think it came out really good. Compared to my Kingpin figure which took me like two days and I really don't like the look of him.

So really, quality or quantity?

Post your thoughts below mates.

Oh, and don't be a prick, don't post a photo saying "OH SNAP ______ DIED IN INFINITY WAR. OH SNAP." Because me, and lots of other lads don't want to get the biggest movie of our lives spoiled.

Here are some examples of what my photo final will look like. My inspiration comes from a question we all struggle to answer as we move through our lives: "Who am I?". These aren't perfect; I desperately need a third light and someone to hold my reflector. Also, the white balance needs to be corrected on this one. Otherwise, it was fun to do and I should have the final versions up within the next 2 weeks. Let me know what you think!

I feel that photography isn't all about the pretty pretty images we see all the time, Its capable of much more, Posing questions as Why, What, Where, And create emotion whether pleasant or not.

Polygonia interrogationis

Not a wet paeony :)

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 :)]

foto scattata per un lavoro dell'università

spero che alla prof le foto piacciano, così posso tirarmela un po' ahahah

Well yes that's the question

When Aiko suggests that we need a break and something nice to eat, he stops

Licks his mouth while watching me

He makes sure that I'm seeing him

Whenever he sees a picnic table like this, he jumps upon it, ready for omnoms

So mind you, all you picnic people out there, that puts your food straight on the table.....

There are dirty paws on the table

Spiders you can't see

Lots of other stuff you don't even want to think of is there too

Yup, down the hatch

So here he is on the table

I'm obviously too slow to understand him, or respond

So he is now begging for treats

And in my head he is praying too

You know that it's important that you think positive when you're looking at the stuff you are about to eat or drink?

That's the same as giving it a blessing

Your body will respond with joy and say Yippi; I'm going to have this lovely piece of food and devour it with good conscience

You are giving the food a good energy by thinking positive and we need good energy when we are eating and drinking

We need a good atmosphere both outside our body

And inside

It's pretty logic really

And you need to focus

Don't surfe too much on social media or deep dive into newspapers and books when you are eating

You eat way too much when you do that, because you aren't aware of your body's signals

We really don't need much, if you dare thinking about it

And, yes

Positive thinking works for chocolate too

I have tested this many times

lol

If you are having bad conscience because you are thinking that you don't deserve it, or it's not healty enough for you or whatever, you will add negative thoughts and negative energy to what you are about to eat

All the good stuff that is inside your food is wasted by this kind of thinking

So quit that

Think positive even here

It's so important

Call it bless the food if you want

I call it thinking positive

"This is good for me"

Enjoy your next meal with this in your mind if you want, I can guarantee that you'll feel better and maybe you don't even feel for taking more on your plate
