"Time will help you through,
But it doesn't have the time
To give you all the answers to the never-ending why."
We are in constant pursuit of the perfect energy source. I don’t think we are there yet, but I hope that with the right brain power we will get there via innovation and great thinking.

... and not all of them can't be answered by Google. For example... today I'm home, wife and son are away, what can I do?
Answer, make some shot :-)
Ciao
p.s.
Inspired by the beautiful work of a friend of mine. His shots deserve to be seen. I hope that one day he'll create a Flickr account!
We're Here! looking for answers to the question mark of life, the universe, and everything.
I was at the dentist office this morning, and found the answer on one of their smart toys!
I love this shot because the butterfly blends in so well with the leaves on the forrest floor. I use the original as my desktop background.
Sucking up some minerals out of the wet river gravel. Not the best of backgrounds but this is my first shot of one of these so it will do for now. Taken just below the dam on the Cape Fear River just downstream from Corinth, in Chatham County, NC

honestly, i really don't like U2, but this is the thought that inspired this shot...
see the stone set in your eyes
see the thorn twist in your side
i wait for you
sleight of hand and twist of fate
on a bed of nails she makes me wait
and i wait without you

The Question Mark is a North American butterfly in the family Nymphalid. It ranges from southern Canada and all of the eastern United States except the Florida peninsular, west to the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains, and south to southern Arizona and Mexico. They typically live in wooded areas, or generally any area that features a combination of trees and open spaces.
The adult butterfly has a wing span of 2.5 - 3 inches (6.4 - 7.5 cm), which is larger than it close cousin the Eastern Comma at 2 - 2.5 inches (5 - 6.4 cm). Its flight season is from May - September.
As seen above a silver - white mark on the underside of the hindwing is broken into two parts, a curved line and a dot, creating a question (?) shaped mark that gives this species its common name.
Forewing is typically hooked; upperside is red-orange with black spots. Upperside hindwing of summer form is mostly black with a short tail; winter form is mostly orange with a longer, violet-tipped tail. Underside of both wings is light brown in color.
This cryptic colored and uniquely shaped creature is one of the few butterflies that overwinter as adults. Hiding in cracks and crevices of wood, they remain inactive throughout the cold months. Their colors help keep them hidden and safe. This is also a butterfly that doesn’t prefer nectar, but will drink it occasionally. It's preferred food is tree sap, overripe fruit, and animal scat. The scat supplies proteins that the butterfly doesn't get from nectar. This butterfly can tolerate cooler temperatures than most other butterflies and as a result is usually one of the first to appear in Spring.

Life's greatest questions have always been: Who am I? Where did I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going?

I was so excited yesterday to find Question Mark eggs on some elm leaves... then I found a female in the process of laying more! The first eggs I found were just laid singly, but she was laying hers in a series, one stacked on top of the other.
According to North America's Favorite Butterflies, Question Marks often lay their eggs in chains of 3-10. This is a defensive strategy: predators are less likely to eat the eggs in the middle of the chain.
I can't wait to see the caterpillars hatch... this isn't a caterpillar species that I've seen before!
