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)
The first part of the card is underneath. This is the inside of the Valentine card sent to me with a question mark?
Cover of 1954 edition by Vercors. A novel questioning what is human nature. Love the strong graphic chapter dividers. Personal collection.
Are you generally a lucky person (questionmark)
Some people just get all the luck of the word but some seem never to get lucky..
The clover was left from St. patricks day..hihi
sorry for the über sharpness... i have no idea why all my images i recently uploaded look so sharp :/
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praise when he said of the Pevear & Volokhonsky translation “It is hard to imagine how this translation could be superseded.”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).
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.
June 25, 2012 - "As The Pendulum Swings" Day 22 - Cove Palisades State Park to Newberry National Monument, Oregon.
This Question Mark was found perched on the underside of a leaf. I took the shot lying on my back on the forest floor. I actually had to tickle the butterfly to get it to open the wings and fortunately it did not fly off. I took this in 2009 but remember taking it like it was yesterday. (12/29/2015)

Thought I should get on with my A to Z Project! After all the biz of Christmas and New Year I almost forgot!!
Well, it's a Question Mark but maybe a Question of the Heart!!
A to Z Project .....
This is a picture of the caterpillar of the Question Mark Butterfly at Patapsco Valley State Park in Howard County, Maryland.
My nephew and cousin told me something about the 'S'-form and the '?'-form. I realized that this green object is a member of the Question Mark family!

Taken at the old 'Forrester Foods' site in Kempston. The piece of fencing was perfectly placed near to the graffiti above it and seemed like a perfect, somewhat thought provoking photo.

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.
One of Jeremy Shafer's brilliant designs, simple and effective.

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. :-)
