I was in my backyard today trying to get used to a new lens by shooting some birds that like to visit our feeder, when I saw a flash of orange that at first I thought was a blowing leaf. I saw it move again on the ground in a familiar way and I thought, no it can't be?
Could it?
Not in February?
OK, I have to find out?
There's more to this guys name than just the marking on his wing.
This photo shows the beautifully camouflaged underside, with the "question mark" visible on the hindwing. Another related species, the Comma, has a silver comma, with no dot below it. No, I don't know of a Period butterfly! For a photo of the upperside, see here: www.flickr.com/photos/ncmls/4993920510/
I know--I have this species already and this is only a so-so shot, but I got so few today, and he was such a nice specimen that he's here anyway.
Photographed at Roaring River State Park, Missouri, on 14 June 2014.

I was given the project of designing some kind of image which creates a sense of the letter i was given. I was given the question mark and decide to make some kind of sculpture using only question marks which depicts the uncertainty/mystery surrounding the character itself. I was happy with my final outcome.
Trotz Vergrößerung durch eine Lupe und ein Makroobjektiv, habe ich immernoch keine Antwort auf alle Fragen.
Small controversy with Ipswich's latest sculpture as it has cost £200,000.
Looks like it's already been pushed over. This was also taken at a time when it had been daubed with green paint.

taken last year.
no idea what this sign means. I have looked it up and that wasn't much help either. Next time we head out this way, we are going to go find out what questions lie beyond the sign.
