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!!

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. :-)

A wounded maple tree in my neighbor's yard is a real butterfly magnet. There have been many Question Marks, but they are flighty.
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.

One of Jeremy Shafer's brilliant designs, simple and effective.
Folded from a 15cm square of foil paper.
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.

Our guide said that the display we saw was as good as the Lights get - including amazing shapes like this.
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. The silver - white mark on the underside of the hindwing (that can be clearly see above) is broken into two parts, a curved line and a dot, creating a ?-shaped mark that gives this species its common name.

“What is Creative Mondays?
Monday’s are always a drag. The start of a new week, you have to go back to that routine of going to bed early/get up early. If (like me) you have to commute then you prepare for that long journey into work and that long journey back for the first time after a nice two day break.
So to kick off those lousy Mondays, I’m going to get my creative mind flowing in a positive way. Creative Mondays. A chance for me to show off something unfinished or finished that I’ve been working on throughout the previous week.”
We’re here! 2013 begins and the creative thinking kicks into gear. It’s usually about this time that I start thinking of the year ahead and what I’d like to accomplish. I’ve already got several ideas about my site and the direction I’d like to go and there’s a side project that I’ve been meaning to work on to show off my first year of Creative Mondays (stay tuned)!
This week’s design represents the endless possibilities, the ideas and the creative thoughts that are yet to be discovered. They’re just over that horizon! I took this photo during our trip out to see my parents over the Christmas break. Every single sunset was so beautiful with vibrant colours on a stunning December evening.

It's just contrails from a plane, but the wind made it into something resembling a question mark. Also, I thought the sky was incredibly nice.

I think one of the best things about the coming autumn season is the fog. I love fog. Foggy mornings spent in bed drinking hot soy chocolate and reading Harry Potter. (I always get this Harry-Potter Nostalgia in the autumn). Long walks (as long as I can walk :P) in the vivid-colored forest, wearing rain boots and hearing the leaves rustle.
Vi lascio con uno scatto di Gallipoli mentre parto per Venezia :) tornerò la prossima settimana :)
