8-11-11 Challenge #2 using 8-10 of the Fat Quarters given. Original Design by Mary Crowther- One of 18 Finalists.
(See the actual size of this tiny weed flower compared to the head of a paper match below.)

The photographs in my Weed Flower Micro sets may appear to be close-ups of regular-sized flowers – they are not!
These are micro (macro) photographs of tiny little flowers which bloom on ordinary weeds found in my lawn.
How tiny? The largest weed flower in the set is only, when measured across its widest part from petal tip to petal tip, 3/4" in diameter (19mm)!
Some of these miniscule flowers are so small that the entire blossom you are looking at is 1/4" in diameter (6mm)…or smaller. Again, that’s measuring from petal tip to petal tip across the widest part of the bloom.
The smallest part of a weed flower that I have managed to successfully shoot and achieve good detail in is a photo I made of a bud that measured LESS than 1/32" in diameter (0.7mm) across its widest part!
For relative size references I have included a photo of certain flowers and buds next to the head of an ordinary paper match, which dwarfs the blooms and buds.
It’s delightful to discover the beauty, complexity, and variety in something so small that it’s easily ignored, taken for granted, dismissed as a pest, or just downright difficult to see with the naked eye.
And it’s an even greater delight to realize that this incredible beauty has been growing wild in my lawn, year after year, right under my un-seeing eyes as I’ve repeatedly mown them down with my lawn mower, never realizing the unseen beauty that I was trampling under my feet.
It’s the most challenging form of photography that I pursue, but I have a lot of fun making these photos for us to look at; I hope you enjoy viewing these as much as I do.

The galaxy Messier 100, or M100, shows its swirling spiral in this infrared image from NASAs Spitzer Space Telescope. The arcing spiral arms of dust and gas that harbor starforming regions glow vividly when seen in the infrared.
is a classic example of a grand design spiral galaxy, with prominent and well-defined spiral arms winding from the hot center, out to the cooler edges of the galaxy. It is located about 55 million light years away from Earth, in the little-known constellation of Coma Berenices, near to the more recognizable Leo.
In the center, we can see a prominent ring of hot, bright dust surrounding the inner galactic core. Moving further out, the spiral arms peter out towards the edges of the galaxy, where thick webs of dust dominate. Beyond the edges of the dust clouds, a faint blue glow of stars extends to the edge of the galaxys disk.
Two small companion galaxies, known as NGC 4323 and NGC 4328, appear as fuzzy blue blobs on the upper side of M100. These so-called lenticular galaxies are virtually clear of any dust, so they lack any of the red/green glow seen in their bigger neighbor. The shape of M100 is probably being perturbed by the gravity of these galaxies.
M100 was discovered in 1781, and is now known to stretch roughly 160,000 light years from one side to the other, making it about one and a half times the size of our own Milky Way galaxy. By studying these infrared images of M100, astronomers can map out the structure of the stars and dust, and study the ways in which galaxies like our Milky Way were formed.
M100 is well-known to astronomers because of the five stars that have become supernovae within the galaxy between 1901 and 2006. These exploding stars are extremely useful for helping astronomers to calibrate distance scales in the universe, and to estimate the age of the universe since its creation in the Big Bang.
The red regions reveal dust clouds that light up under the illumination of the surrounding stars. The stars themselves shine most brightly at the shorter infrared wavelengths, showing up here in blue. The blue dots covering the entire image are stars that lie between us and M100.
Infrared light with wavelengths of 3.6 and 4.5 microns are displayed in blue and green showing primarily the glow from starlight. 8 micron light is rendered in red; the small contribution from starlight at 8 microns was subtracted out from the data to better show the dust structures near the galaxys center.

Asterisk Supper Club has been in Uptown for almost two years. They thrive on book lovers and ask if you take a book you bring a book to donate. If you’re in need of a place to study or just want to kick back and read a book, go over to Asterisk and enjoy some tea, or if you’re visiting around dinner time get some comfort food and make yourself feel right at home.
The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum advises against altering artifacts, but I think we can all agree Mark Ecko improved this ball: sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3036756
In the same genus as the asterisk spider, O. ectypa. The latter builds a rarely seen web of non-sticky silk and captures any prey that walks on it and sends vibrations. During the day, they perch like this and can be very hard to see on a branch.

Title: Daylight Venus Occultation
Description: This Venus occultation photo is a collaborative work from Cui Yongjiang and Shi Zexing, taken at around 6:20 UTC, Feb 26 in Yunnan, China. Blessed with crystal clear sky, Cui and Shi managed to capture the two crescents in broad daylight with a Canon 5D Mark ii attached to an 102ED refractor.
"The duo were readily visible to unaided eyes prior to the occultation, in broad daylight! What an unforgettable view!", said Cui and Shi. Sadly, some low level haze and cloud prevented them from capturing the ending phase of the occultation.
