Something a little different...a fractal of a Stargazer lily. I have two pots of these that come back year after year. The scent of these flowers is almost enough to knock you right off your feet. And they don't seem to mind squirrels burying an assortment of nuts around them either. :>]

..o.k. I´m not Bunker Spreckles, but the Photo reminds me of his famous picture with the fat red board on the North Shore.
And I felt so cosmic that day. If you watch the Peeler picture (4 or five pictures back) you´ll understand.
Love & Will Productions / The Cockpit present:
Cosmic Trigger Play by Daisy Eris Campbell
Adapted from Robert Anton Wilson’s seminal autobiography Cosmic Trigger: The Final Secret of The Illuminati
4th – 27th May 2017
The Cockpit - Gateforth St, Marylebone, London NW8 8EH
“Robert Anton Wilson’s 'Illuminatus!' had a profound effect on me and the Cosmic Trigger Play will no doubt do the same for a whole new generation.” Alan Moore, writer/author of V for Vendetta, Watchmen and Jerusalem
Turn On. Tune In. Find The Others
In 1976 revered maverick playwright and director Ken Campbell staged Robert Anton Wilson’s, Illuminatus! - a nine-hour stage epic play that helped launch the careers of Jim Broadbent and Bill Nighy. It also led to the backstage conception of a baby girl; Daisy Eris Campbell.
“one of the most original and unclassifiable talents in British theatre of the past half-century”
The Guardian obituary for Ken Campbell – 2008
Now Love & Will Productions and The Cockpit are delighted to announce the debut full run of Daisy Campbell’s adaptation of Wilson’s seminal countercultural text; Cosmic Trigger. Part sequel, part revisit, part homage, part new writing; this is the story behind the notorious conspiracy satire, 'Illuminatus!', the extraordinary life of the novel's author, Robert Anton Wilson, and the unstoppable force that was theatre legend Ken Campbell.
Daisy Campbell says; "Reading Cosmic Trigger changed my life and the lives of many others - and the book is dedicated to my dad! Wilson's uniquely optimistic and radically agnostic philosophy is incredibly relevant in these crazy times. We are absolutely thrilled to be working with The Cockpit on this production. They are the perfect co-conspirators to help us bring the wit and wisdom of Robert Anton Wilson back to life."
The original work reinterpreted world history as a giant conspiracy theory and Daisy’s new work gives a backstory to the original production, featuring the lives of Wilson and Campbell, as well as the counterculture figures Timothy Leary, Alan Watts and William Burroughs, whom Robert Anton Wilson befriended.
Set in the late sixties and early seventies, the play recounts the period of Wilson's life around the conception and writing of Illuminatus. During this time, he befriended heroes of counterculture, took LSD and experimented with the magical rituals of Aleister Crowley with predictably - and unpredictably - mind-blowing results.
With many of the original cast returning and Alan Moore appearing via specially recorded audio and morphed video projections Cosmic Trigger is a celebration of all that has gone before it as well as a vital venture in its own right. This is a highly ambitious production, with projections in the round, phantasmagorical multiple narratives, and a different actor performing as William Burroughs every night, it is designed to evoke the real-life hallucinogenic trip through conspiracy, paranoia and enlightenment that transformed Robert Anton Wilson from ‘Playboy’ editor to much-loved counter-cultural icon.
Dave Wybrow, Artistic Director of the Cockpit and co producer of Cosmic Trigger says; “We are putting together a venue, a tribe and new ways of networking and creating work. It’s about joining low tech to hi tech, low culture to high culture and low budgets to high levels of audience reach and social impact. This first venture looks at counter-cultural legacy. But the vision is an open artistic community for the future.”
Cosmic Trigger previously played for two days in November in Camp & Furnace in Liverpool and five days at Lost Theatre Vauxhall in London in 2014 – this is the play’s first full run.

You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart."

Where did they come from?!
I think this is cosmic. Possibly aliens in a UFO who've just beamed down..

[from the NASA Website] This landscape of “mountains” and “valleys” speckled with glittering stars is actually the edge of a nearby, young, star-forming region called NGC 3324 in the Carina Nebula. Captured in infrared light by NASA’s new James Webb Space Telescope, this image reveals for the first time previously invisible areas of star birth.
Called the Cosmic Cliffs, Webb’s seemingly three-dimensional picture looks like craggy mountains on a moonlit evening. In reality, it is the edge of the giant, gaseous cavity within NGC 3324, and the tallest “peaks” in this image are about 7 light-years high. The cavernous area has been carved from the nebula by the intense ultraviolet radiation and stellar winds from extremely massive, hot, young stars located in the center of the bubble, above the area shown in this image.
The blistering, ultraviolet radiation from the young stars is sculpting the nebula’s wall by slowly eroding it away. Dramatic pillars tower above the glowing wall of gas, resisting this radiation. The “steam” that appears to rise from the celestial “mountains” is actually hot, ionized gas and hot dust streaming away from the nebula due to the relentless radiation.
Webb reveals emerging stellar nurseries and individual stars that are completely hidden in visible-light pictures. Because of Webb’s sensitivity to infrared light, it can peer through cosmic dust to see these objects. Protostellar jets, which emerge clearly in this image, shoot out from some of these young stars. The youngest sources appear as red dots in the dark, dusty region of the cloud. Objects in the earliest, rapid phases of star formation are difficult to capture, but Webb’s extreme sensitivity, spatial resolution, and imaging capability can chronicle these elusive events.
These observations of NGC 3324 will shed light on the process of star formation. Star birth propagates over time, triggered by the expansion of the eroding cavity. As the bright, ionized rim moves into the nebula, it slowly pushes into the gas and dust. If the rim encounters any unstable material, the increased pressure will trigger the material to collapse and form new stars.
Conversely, this type of disturbance may also prevent star formation as the star-making material is eroded away. This is a very delicate balance between sparking star formation and stopping it. Webb will address some of the great, open questions of modern astrophysics: What determines the number of stars that form in a certain region? Why do stars form with a certain mass?
Webb will also reveal the impact of star formation on the evolution of gigantic clouds of gas and dust. While the effect of massive stars – with their violent winds and high energy – is often apparent, less is known about the influence of the more numerous low-mass stars. As they form, these smaller stars create narrow, opposing jets seen here, which can inject a lot of momentum and energy into the clouds. This reduces the fraction of nebular material that seeds new stars.
Up to this point, scientists have had very little data about the influence of the multitude of young and more energetic low-mass stars. With Webb, they will be able to obtain a full census of their number and impact throughout the nebula.
Located roughly 7,600 light-years away, NGC 3324 was imaged by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI).
NIRCam – with its crisp resolution and unparalleled sensitivity – unveils hundreds of previously hidden stars and even numerous background galaxies.
In MIRI’s view, young stars and their dusty, planet-forming disks shine brightly in the mid-infrared, appearing pink and red. MIRI reveals structures that are embedded in the dust and uncovers the stellar sources of massive jets and outflows. With MIRI, the hot dust, hydrocarbons, and other chemical compounds on the surface of the ridges glow, giving the appearance of jagged rocks.
NGC 3324 was first cataloged by James Dunlop in 1826. Visible from the Southern Hemisphere, it is located at the northwest corner of the Carina Nebula (NGC 3372), which resides in the constellation Carina. The Carina Nebula is home to the Keyhole Nebula and the active, unstable supergiant star called Eta Carinae.

To sem vontade nenhuma pra cor nenhuma, então escolhi usar preto, mas não um preto comum, tinha que ter um brilhozinho!!!
Esse esmalte é pior que os GF da Hits, usei DUAS camadas da base glitter da 5cinco e uma de tc normal e ainda ficou mega aspero, enquanto que nos GF da Hits eu uso apenas uma camada da base gliter e já fica lisinho...

A thousand suns and stars manifest in this one flower
With an inheritance of sky blue crown
And yet another combination in this kaleidoscope of life
Is YOU
Reflecting the infinite
We are never alone.
On the same day the asteroid flew close by Earth and the meteor crashed into Russia, I coincidentally happened to be on my way to see this massive meteor impact site in Arizona.
Not the best shot, but I like the colors and the reflection in the mirror.
Actually, I took this photo while I was dancing around and singing, using that thing with the light as a microphone, just like a little girl... and this is the result! (:

The Hindu religion is the only one of the world's great faiths dedicated to the idea that the Cosmos itself undergoes an immense, indeed an infinite, number of deaths and rebirths. It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond, to those of modern scientific cosmology. Its cycles run from our ordinary day and night to a day and night of Brahma, 8.64 billion years long. Longer than the age of the Earth or the Sun and about half the time since the Big Bang. And there are much longer time scales still. The most elegant and sublime of these is a representation of the creation of the universe at the beginning of each cosmic cycle, a motif known as the cosmic dance of Lord Shiva. The god, called in this manifestation Nataraja, the Dance King. In the upper right hand is a drum whose sound is the sound of creation. In the upper left hand is a tongue of flame, a reminder that the universe, now newly created, with billions of years from now will be utterly destroyed.
(Carl Sagan)
A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then, it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became...

Found this yellow leaf dancing in the wind. There was a small beetle too, which was curious!
I have used the title 'cosmic dance' because everthing keeps changing in this world!
In a galaxy fragmented by countless factions, a revered peacekeeper facilitated alliance talks among prominent forces: Roboforce, Unitron, Exploriens, Zotaxians, Ice Planet, and Galaxy Squad. After extensive deliberations, an agreement was reached, forming the Cosmic Vanguard Alliance. To honor his efforts, the factions collaborated to create a powerful suit of armor for the peacekeeper. This armor, combining the strengths of all factions, symbolized their unity and commitment to peace, proudly worn by the one who united them.
