I started the year with a Comma on March 1st so it's appropriate that this beautiful big Question Mark would be one of the last butterflies of the year. It landed right in front of me in a sunny weedy spot where the green anoles like to hang out. When the ? flew off a Cloudless Sulphur landed in the same spot - sulphurs never land! Finally a green anole appeared. A Common Checkered Skipper landed on the ground then flew into the same sunny weeds to hide. The green anole spotted it too - leaping across the tops of the weeds like an acrobat and pouncing on the skipper! 9-20-08

Day 13 of 366
*phew* For an hour or so I thought I couldn't upload today's photo, since Flickr was having a massage.
this is what I'm working on instead of doing graphic design research. I just can't find the motivation.
SK styla is one of the best FIFA 05 players in the world. SK gaming is a very well known organization with many good players (www.sk-gaming.com). As in oher sports the gamers are wearing shirts or trikots with their sponsoring on it. At this particular moment, styla is being interviewed by a moderator from GIGA TV. Questions about his technique.
"Question Mark" is a new sculpture created by Rosario Marquardt and Roberto Behar and funded through a gift from the Madison Public Library Foundation. Photo by library staff.
came across 3 of these today while out looking for birds for the Great Backyard Bird Count (which i'm sure you're all participating in, right?) this particular individual assaulted me when i tried to cross a small clearing in a wet hardwood stand. from the looks of the left wings and tail, i'm not the first challenge it's had... ;)
In Chemistry i was ripping out pages from my notepad that were already full up with revision rubbish so i decided to screw them all up and make them into shapes.
Pull up a chair, this might be a long one. I have a story for you. As it’s Easter Sunday and all, I thought a bit of preaching might be appropriate (and no, Lou, I’m not religious at all : ).
Last night, when I was walking my dogs, I saw a CD lying in the gutter. On closer inspection, it was a home-made compilation, titled ‘Love Songs & Chillout’. Naturally, this piqued my interest. How did it come to be lying here, in the gutter? Was it the victim of a lovers’ tiff, perhaps? Or, maybe, a gust of wind blew it out of an open car window, as someone was attempting to load it into their car hi-fi? The possibilities were endless and intriguing, and only tempered by the disappointing fact that I didn’t have a camera on me to record this rather poignant accident. Well, you try walking two large, enthusiastic hounds with a DSLR swinging around your neck. It’s a non-starter, I promise. So, a moral? ‘Be Prepared’, maybe? Is that a moral or a motto? I don’t know.
And to today. Yes, I drove back down the same street to see if the CD was still there (of course it wasn’t, things don’t work out like that). Perhaps there was a little comfort in the thought that the owner and the CD may have been reunited; that after that lovers’ tiff, the moment of anger had been regretted, repented, and right at this moment, the two lovers for whom the CD had been compiled for so carefully were entwined in each others’ arms, listening to their favourite song. Still, it didn’t help with my photo for today, though, did it? Thoughtless swines.
So, I had to find another photo opportunity, and this caught my eye. Well, I had to go hunting for it; it was tucked away down an alley that I would never have reason to travel down, if I wasn’t nosying around. So, second moral for the day. No, not seek and ye shall find; more ‘beware of graffiti artists bearing aerosols’.
Have a nice day.
By contrast with wings folded the Question Mark resembles a leaf. The color is drab and the shape of the wing is quite unusual for a butterfly. Note the mark on the wing which resembles a question mark. I lightly accented this using the dodge tool in Photoshop.
