"You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

You tell me your blue skies fade to grey

You tell me your passion's gone away

And I don't need no carryin' on"

 

My friend watched the "Bad Day" music video and really liked how a simple question mark can be turned into a heart.

Shortly after their 3 Jun 1944 wedding, my parents pose outside military housing at Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina.

 

My parents were married for 53 years, until Dad's death in 1997. They had three sons:

 

George Castle Barton II (8 Jul 1945 - 11 Aug 1955)

Kenneth Allyn Barton (4 Aug 1949 - )

Jeffrey Stewart Barton (20 Dec 1956 - )

The question mark is reversed here. It looks more like a question mark on the other wing.

My tree is asking, where's that owl? Or who's that owl? Or what the heck is going on?

Take Aim: Randomness challenge

This butterfly is called a "question mark " because of the white field mark in the middle of its wing. When the dot is missing, the name changes, and the butterfly is called a "comma." Isn't that fun?

............ any questions ? (Sorry couldn't help myself. Have a great day everyone.) Happy New Year and if you are traveling please be safe ! ; ^ ))

What lies between the darkness and light?

The Question Mark is a North American nymphalid butterfly. 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 - 3 inches (5 - 7.5 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.

 

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 through 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 can't and as a result is usually one of the first to appear in the spring.

For TRP: Tim Burton Tribute - TB's take on batman and batman returns was awesome back then. Batman Forever, featuring The Riddler was directed by Joel Schumacher, but produced under Tim Burton, was a disaster!! Not the best tribute, but it's too warm to do anything else

 

For FGR: Perfect Day - it's warm, it's hot, I don't have to work, I have nothing planned...tadaah...A Perfect Day

 

Lighting Information: The main light is actually reflected sunlight on a white board. It comes through a small window above me.
