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.

I think I'm finished MSH... bit of a quandary of this category really so I think a question mark works well.
Might have to go on a work trip Thursday so wanted to get finished today just in case!

Interested in this photo?
This photo is an example of Lutz's Andorra stock-photo collection with actual 100.000+ quality images of Andorra: "The mystic country with hundreds of questionmarks". About 10% of these pics are seen here at Flickr.
Yes, meanwhile more than 10.000 of 100.000+ andorran photos visable online! It is the biggest professional image catalog of Andorra from the newer history: all regions, all cities and villages, all times, all seasons, all weather(s), many themes & categories.
This catalog is bundled in a sophisticated and consistent system for agencies or tourism planners with easy and logic handling for the non-professional. Light architects might print in large format for public areas. The effect is stunning.
Most images are made "to tell a story". So - instead of writing 1000 words, try 1 picture. Remember the rule "a picture paints a 1000 words"!

Who am I? I have been asking that myself in the past few days.
Who am I as a photographer? What "type" of photography am I? How do I describe my "brand". What is my true style, how do I shoot? What do I love, and why am I not happy with my current stream of work?
I keep thinking of +Zack Arias 's video Transform (www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZYlQ4Wv8lE) and how the last time I felt this way I watched it until 5AM on repeat just thinking.
I'm suffering an identity crisis.

Only what I feel is my best will grace flickr.
Strobist Info: (the image was reversed - fun fact, I used a mirror to paint my face and the ? was backwards teehee), as shot - lumopro LP160 @50mm 1/8 through white umbrella face level camera left, Sony flash on camera pointed up @85mm 1/16 being slightly covered by umbrella (that's how close the lighting rig was from me and the camera) and used to trigger LP160 (too lazy to go find the triggers))

It's a little late to post a photo but I've been wrapped up in lots of photoeditng of other sorts tonight and have been feeling again like I'm running out o time. Anyhow, sometimes I get in this mood where I really only want to listen to Doves and certain songs over and over again, which has been happening to me lately. I really adore some of their songs...they are lullabyish and epic...what a combination. Anyhow, if soaring anthemic British vocals are your thing, I'd say you should have a listen.

I hate calling tech support for computer problems. I'm sure you can relate. It is a frustrating experience sitting on the phone waiting forever and then when someone does emerge to help you language barriers often prevent a free flow of quality information.
While sitting on the phone today I began to think about the process of tech support and how it relates to leadership.
Fast forward.
Fixing the issue is the easy part. The guy on the other end of the phone says press this button – turn this knob – cha ching it works!
Takes about 2 minutes.
Rewind.
But getting to that 2 minute fix is worse than enduring a root canal without Novocain. It takes sometimes hours of communication and testing to locate the problem.
As a leader – most of your time is spent communicating with your team and isolating the true problems and challenges. The "fixes" are most often simple solutions. The biggest challenge you will face as a leader is not finding the correct answer – it is asking the right questions.
Ask better questions.

Love it when a critter's name actually makes sense. Do you see the little white question mark?
