Our second round of pumpkin carvings, taken last Sunday.

 

My dad was out of town on business for the weekend, so unfortunately I had to take this photo with my humble Fujifilm, as opposed to the very fancy camera of my father I used for the last shot.

In memory of Jeff Hale (1923–2015). Jeff was born in Margate, England, and passed away in Talent, Oregon. Solid!

Last year I followed sculptor and friend Mark Rietmeijer during the process of creating a sculpture. When he started working on a new one he asked me to make pictures again.

This time the material is Norwegian Pink - Rose Norwegian, composite marble, multiple stratification, 50 x 70 x 80 cm., 480 kgms.

 

Adagium to his new sculpture: I never tackled or solved any problems in my life, but instead I learn to dance with them and by considering them as 'questionmarks with wings' I try to escape their weight and gravity.

Civilian David Windmiller flew this custom built Zivko Edge 540 with a thrust to weight ratio of greater than 1:1. David must love what he does. The question mark was, I'm sure, only in our minds.

How are you?

Who are you?

Where are you?

What are you doing?

What is your favorite?

Which color do you like?

When did you view my takes?

Why are you looking at this photo?

Did you see it? oh~it's a question mark really!!

 

Ha-ha! enjoy it! ^_^

My desk and my window are two of my favorite places in the world.

Series of an Eastern Comma Butterfly.

 

Adults: The wing spread of adults is 1.75 to 2.0 inches (Allen 1997). The eastern comma can be differentiated from the closely related questionmark (Polygonia interrogationis [Fabricius]) by the silvery comma in the middle of the hind wing (lacking the dot of the questionmark), its smaller size, less strongly hooked forewing margin, and shorter hind wing tail. As with the questionmark, there are two color forms that generally correlate with the "summer" and "winter" adult generations. The upper side of the hind wings is predominantly black in the summer form and mostly orange in the winter generation.

Taken from the bottom floor two stories below the street level, you can see how the color of the light changes on the upper floors.

One of my favorites, love their lacy wings. Wishing everyone a lovely weekend!

Question Mark Butterfly competing with the flies to get access to the holes in the Willow Oak bark.

This image was rotated 90 degrees.

Prime Hook NWR, Delaware.

This large orange stylized punctuation mark (?) symbol sits on the waterside of Vancouver's Science World dome.

 

The sculpture is not readily visible unless you walk the seawall around the building at the east end of False Creek.

 

Is it a good metaphor for enquiring minds that might visit Science World?

Nuts! Looking close on Friday.

Do you know the answer?

Polygonia interragationis, question mark butterfly

Question mark above Tata Steel Factory, Velsen - IJmuiden

The wings become translucent when backlit by the sun and the dorsal (top of the wing) markings became visible on the venter (closed wing view). Remarkably, one can see both sides of the wing in this shot.

For this ‘new month’ greeting, I chose the autumn-colored Question Mark Butterfly ... Happy October everyone!

(Behind on my comments again, hope to 'get there' soon :-)

 

About Eastern Comma & Question Mark Butterflies

Members of the brush-footed family, the Eastern Comma and Question Mark are also known as anglewings because of their angular wing shape. When their wings are closed they are camouflaged to look like dried leaves and remain well-hidden. Adults hibernate over winter, some staying in the north, many migrating to the south, making them long-lived for a butterfly; they top off at about eight months. Because their blood contains a sort of butterfly “anti-freeze,” glycerol, these butterflies can withstand very cold weather.

 

They get their name from a silver mark located on the underside of their hindwing. The Question Mark butterfly has a mark that looks like a question mark turned on its side, while the Eastern Comma has a sideways comma. Since I did not see the hindwings, I’m basing my ID on the number of spots on the front wings. When viewed from the top, the Eastern Comma Butterfly has three dark spots in a row on each of its front wings and the Question Mark butterfly has four, like this one.

 

When open, the edge of the Question Mark butterfly’s wings is outlined in a beautiful lavender color. The upperside hindwing of summer form which flies from May to September is mostly black with a short tail; that of winter form, adults which appear in late August from eggs laid by the summer form, has much orange and a longer, violet-tipped tail.

 

The same valley with a different angleI, showing more of that peak on the right. Again I was using a polarizer here. The light was fantastic, but constantly changing. The green was crazy and I had to turn it down somewhat. It got a bit the Canon color look to it, which I like. I never liked the 'black' Fuji greens and that was a big questionmark in my change to Fujifilm, but now I find the JPGs have such a great color spectrum to work with, that I almost never go back to working with the RAW images.

Question Mark (Polygonia interrogationis) U.S. National Arboretum, Washington DC

 

Your wish is my command. On the last day of this unseasonably warm weather (74 Fahrenheit today dropping down to more seasonal 54 degrees tomorrow) I wished to see one more new butterfly species. Out of the blue, there was a fluttering and this beautiful Question Mark settled on a magnolia tree and was basking in the sun. Its wings backlit by the sun produced some uncommon images of this butterfly. In this ventral view (closed wing position), both the dorsal (top view) and ventral (bottom view) markings are visible.
