The beach was full of small constructions an outdoor installation maybe, or somewhere that lured people into building, expressing themselves in stone.

THANK YOU !!
This exposed root system reminds me of neural tissue and the complexity of the human brain.
The stump looks like the cell body of a single neuron. The roots like axons or dendrites that lead away and interconnect with other neurons. The connections between nerve cells are called synapses.The average brain contains 100 trillion neural connections, or synapses. That is at least 1,000 times the number of stars in our galaxy.

I went out on to the balcony to water the plants when I saw the chap above sitting on my bougainvillea and not really moving so decided to try to capturing him, went inside, grabbed my camera, which fortunately had the macro lens on, went out and he was still just sitting there with the late afternoon sun shining on him. I was absolutely amazed at the complexity of its head. I lowered the green of the leaves to make him stand out a little more and cropped the shot.
Something different from me and hope you find it interesting.

I'm calling this one "Complexity". I went to Portland Head Light this morning to hope that the sun would peep its head out from behind the clouds, only to be rewarded with some very complex and beautiful clouds, and no sun. But the image is an interesting one anyway, I think. You can see (and purchase) this here: cfwphotography.smugmug.com/…/Portland-Head-Light-M…/
Taken at Garfield Place in Cincinnati, this water fountain was just running randomly, I guess the pedal was stuck. Turned out pretty cool methinks!

A simple leaf backlit by the sun, I liked the details here and thought it was a bit different, makes a nice abstract image as well.
Hope you have all been enjoying this wonderful spell of good weather this weekend :)
Life is complicated....the ups and downs...the path that we're goin through...the everything that makes us grow and learn the facts of life....

Here is a clock...the shape is simple, but the innerworkings are complex. Sort of reminds of the amazing human body, doesn't it?

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope photographed a nearby planetary nebula called NGC 5189. The intricate structure of this bright gaseous nebula resembles a glass-blown holiday ornament with a glowing ribbon entwined. Planetary nebulae represent the final brief stage in the life of a medium-sized star like our Sun. While consuming the last of the fuel in its core, the dying star expels a large portion of its outer envelope. This material then becomes heated by the radiation from the stellar remnant and radiates, producing glowing clouds of gas that can show complex structures, as the ejection of mass from the star is uneven in both time and direction.
A spectacular example of this beautiful complexity is seen in the bluish lobes of NGC 5189. Most of the nebula is knotty and filamentary in its structure. As a result of the mass-loss process, the planetary nebula has been created with two nested structures, tilted with respect to each other, that expand away from the center in different directions.
This double bipolar or quadrupolar structure could be explained by the presence of a binary companion orbiting the central star and influencing the pattern of mass ejection during its nebula-producing death throes. The remnant of the central star, having lost much of its mass, now lives its final days as a white dwarf. However, there is no visual candidate for the possible companion. The bright golden ring that twists and tilts through the image is made up of a large collection of radial filaments and cometary knots. These are usually formed by the combined action of photo-ionizing radiation and stellar winds.
This image was taken with Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 on July 6, 2012, in filters tuned to the specific colors of fluorescing sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Broad filters in the visible and near-infrared were used to capture the star colors.

The entrance to Manchester Victoria Metrolink platforms is as impressive for its track work as it is for the new roof. The tram frequency to a variety of destinations is also impressive.

This was the first Lenten rose of the season, and after the frigid winter I was afraid it would be the only one, but as temperatures moderated more buds opened, and now the patch is full of these lovely flowers.
Note that the "petals" are really sepals that encircle the nectaries, which are petals modified to hold nectar and which remain on the plant, sometimes for months.
