Resembling a curled sleeping snake, this picture shows NGC 1087. This spiral galaxy, located approximately 80 million light-years from Earth in the constellation of Cetus, is captured here by a combination of observations conducted at different wavelengths –– or colours –– of light.
But no need to worry, NGC 1087 will not poison you! The apparent menacing red glow actually corresponds to clouds of cold molecular gas, the raw material out of which stars form. Astronomers are able to image these clouds thanks to the Chile-based Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), in which ESO is a partner. The bluish regions in the background reveal the pattern of older, already formed stars, imaged by the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) on ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) also in Chile.
The images were taken as part of the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) project. The team is making high-resolution observations of nearby galaxies with telescopes operating across a wide range of wavelengths. Different wavelengths tell us about the physical properties of stars, gas and dust within galaxies, and by comparing them astronomers are able to study what activates, boosts or hinders the birth of new stars.

Questa signorina, trovata in un lotto insieme a qualche abitino interessante, si è fatta un bel bagno e oltre 24 ore di ammollo nell'ammorbidente per riportare i capelli al loro antico splendore. Una volta pettinata non si nota nemmeno che davanti manca una ciocca di capelli.

This young lady, found in a lot together with some interesting clothes, took a relaxing bath and over 24 hours soaking in fabric softener to restore her hair. Once combed, you don't even notice that a lock of hair is missing from the front.

Headed out to North Curl Curl headland this afternoon - thought it had the looks of popping really good but the clouds were just a little thick at sunset.
The first ladybird of 2011 in our garden. It looks as if it has just left the embracing shelter of a curled leaf to enjoy the spring sun.
I liked the patterns in this shot but wasn't sure what to do with it until I started creating entries for the Dictionary of Image group.
You know how one angel smiles there.
Then weep not. 'Tis easy for you
To be drawn by a single gold hair
Of that curl, from earth's storm and despair,
To the safe place above us. Adieu.
Only a Curl

The tiny Primrose buds are almost buried beneath the flowers, so this was the best
I could do to show them off!

my brother had bought some kinda electrical hair brush for my fuzzy hair with her request, but my hair was too short.

Don't think I'm going to be on Flickr long this evening, as it is SO slow for me (yesterday also). Have to wait every time I click on something, which is really annoying.
Went with a friend for a lovely drive this morning, north west of the city, out past Cochrane. We were hoping to see a Great Gray Owl or the Northern Hawk Owl that has been reported in that area. However, we were totally out of luck, apart from seeing a Bald Eagle and four Rough-legged Hawks (too far away for photos). Oh, and Ravens and Magpies, I should add : ) The scenery is so spectacular in that area.
And here comes the SNOW - again!!!
