Towards the end of life, a star has burnt the majority of its fuel mass. As the energy from the fusion reactions within it now exceeds the force exerted by its gravitational field, the star expands. In so doing, its average temperature decreases. The Red Giant, which it has now become, will last for millions of years and inexorably continue to expand and cool.
However, a time will come when the fuel is burnt and the energy from the fusion reactions can no longer resist the gravitational pull of the Giant's remaining mass. At this point, the star collapses in Supernova.
The biggest bang in the universe.
(Of course, none of the above has anything at all to do with our bedside lamp !)
One specific bud on this lilac was the point of focus; a purple ornament against a backdrop of green.

About Point Roberts:
Point Roberts, Washington is a mix of down home, small town charm and International consciousness. Only 20 minutes from Vancouver International airport and not much longer from downtown Vancouver, BC. Many full-time residents are consultants, inventors, scientists, writers, artists and virtual business owners who enjoy the natural beauty, peace and relaxed pace in between global travels.
A geopolitical oddity, Point Roberts is a part of the United States that is not physically connected to it, making it a pene-exclave of the U.S. It is located on the southernmost tip of the Tsawwassen Peninsula, south of Delta, British Columbia, Canada, and can be reached by land from the rest of the United States only by traveling through Canada. It can be reached directly from the rest of Washington and the U.S. by crossing Boundary Bay by sea or air.
Fresh air, miles of trails through ancient forests, miles of natural beaches, ocean kayaking, sailing, biking, hiking, photography and sighting the thriving eagle community and visits from J-Pod Orca whales can be enjoyed by everyone.
Organic gardening is a big deal at the Point Roberts Garden Club which has an annual tour that showcases a breathtaking array of gardens. Their site has "must see" pictures of previous tours and funds raised each year go towards community beautification projects.
I took this from Garrison, a hamlet across the river from West Point. The Army vs. Ball State football game could be heard throughout the entire area.
Funny story. I was up on the top level changing some of the setting on my camera, when all of a sudden some one grabbed me. It was a Japanese girl. She ask me if she could take a photo with me. I said sure, why not. The next thing I know, I'm the main attraction. Every female there wanted to a photo with me. I think there were 10 of them. I'm talking girls from 6 years old to 50. i had to use my camera to shield my ass from one old lady. They really went nuts when I said that I was from CA.

Oneohtrix Point Never's richly complex audio landscapes demand attentive listening, but luckily give the listener no other choice than to be drawn in completely and experience the journey.A beautiful trip through intimate fields of sound filled with noise, synths, melodies, strange rhythms and beautiful vocal samples. Daniel Lopatin has proven himself a true craftsman in his field of ambient music by staying clear of the conventions and creating his own personal, very emotional sound. His new album 'R Plus Seven' will be released only a couple of days after his show at TodaysArt on Warp Records.
Point Cabrillo has the most complete light station in America. The Third Order Fresnel Lens was lit for the first time on June 10, 1909 and continues to operate today as a federal aid to navigation. It is maintained by U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary unit 87. The lighthouse is located in the 300-acre Point Cabrillo Light Station State Historic Park.
