Given myself an alphabet soup game. Two new photos and another two from my photostream or archives, when possible.
I'm not sure if anyone would call this cheating, but it was one way round finding something for Q!
You can see the whole set/album here in alphabetic order.

Thank you for your favourites. :O)
I have a question!
(not really asking why, looks like it got knocked down by deep snow or a log and kept right on trying. It's had a rough life...)

The days destination: Newberry National Volcanic Monument. Unfortunately that storm that had been swirling rain in from the Pacific was swirling in a wee bit of snow up there. All the same, we can't pass by a new (new to us anyway) national monument. We're unlikely to be back here any time soon, if ever.
A bit of a late start getting out of The Cove Palisades, made later by another visit with Gator and another rubber duckie tug-o-war session.
And another stop at a state scenic viewpoint (how cool are these?) to look at bridges across a gorge.
By the time we got up some speed, the sky had completely clouded over.

The first part of the card is underneath. This is the inside of the Valentine card sent to me with a question mark?
Believe, when you are most unhappy, that there is something for you to do in the world.

Worried about the future ?
Worried that you won't be able to control what'll happen to you ?
Don't be ...
there's a simple way to know what the future will be
a simple way to control it :
all you have to do
is to write it
instead of just trying to read it
Cherry tomato with single colour border that appears to shift from orange to red.
As highlighted in the recent "What colour is this dress?", people are wedded to the idea that colours are properties of objects, when they are in fact made up by the brain.
The phenomenon is described in the New Scientist article: www.newscientist.com/article/dn27048-what-colour-is-the-d...
Our guide said that the display we saw was as good as the Lights get - including amazing shapes like this.
A wounded maple tree in my neighbor's yard is a real butterfly magnet. There have been many Question Marks, but they are flighty.
I seem to have an abundant supply of them lately.
Plenty enough to give one away.
Answer marks on the other hand - trickier to find.
I'm sure they're around here somewhere though.

i hope you guys won´t get bored next week while i´m going to be in Italy :-) wish you a great time on flickr. <3
I read Tolstoy’s War and Peace when I was 20. I’m 44 now and decided to reread it. This coincided with a new translation. Tolstoy first published War and Peace in whole in 1869 and Louise and Aylmer Maude’s translation was first published in 1923. Tolstoy said of them “Better translators, both for knowledge of the two languages and for penetration into the very meaning of the matter translated, could not be invented.” I loved the book but was eager to see if it was as exciting a book for middle-aged me as it was for young me.
The new translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky received critical acclaim. Professor Vladimir Alexandrov from Yale reworked Tolstoy’s praise when he said of the Pevear & Volokhonsky translation “It is hard to imagine how this translation could be superseded.”
I don’t read Russian so I cannot compare their fidelity, but I know which of these two fragments is clumsy, and which is elegant:
The meeting with Pierre marked an epoch for Prince Andrei, from which began what, while outwardly the same, was in his inner world a new life.
or
His meeting with Pierre formed an epoch in Prince Andrew’s life. Though externally he continued to live in the same old way, inwardly he began a new life.
I'm swapping back to the Louise and Aylmer Maude translation (the latter quote).
Question Mark (Polygonia interrogationis) butterfly eggs on an Elm leaf.
London, Ontario, Canada
June 29, 2006.
Question Mark butterflies often lay their eggs in small clusters. Sometimes they'll lay several eggs on top of one another, in a stack.
Question Mark eggs look very similar to many other Brushfooted butterfly eggs. They remind me of Comb Jellies. :-)

Flickr Lounge: curves and circles: the curve on this butterfly's wing is small, but if it is enough to lend the species its name, it should be enough for the challenge (there is also a curve on its front edge, though overall this is a pretty angular insect).
I see commas far more often, and my few previous sightings of the question mark (probably just two sightings) have been well worn specimens or creatures that stay in motion and out of range.
The comma has a single white mark on its outside wing that looks a bit like a comma. Here, with the comma and a dot as wing markings, is the question mark, a visually similar species.
