Oh you've just too much
Your dress is so full
That dream you had, of simple pleasures
A cup of tea, pulled into your mind,
Weighted like a sandbag with your longing
Chittering inquiries that you ask
Your emotions all flocking quietly
Following you along
Down soft wings barely beating
An idea, a good one, would wave,
And declare itself,
And all the useful thoughts
Seem to blend in with the floor they sit on.
Until you hardly know them any more
Your feather duster is collecting dust

I don't think I've spent more time on another of my weekly pieces. =___=;;; PLEASE full view, it just looks muddled otherwise.
Keep warm. Don't paint too much. Stay happy, kid.
Fits for Illustration Friday, Layer.

A fiddle head is the curled head of an Fern that resembles the head of the musical instrument . Excellent boiled and served with butter. Tastes like green beans.

Ostricth fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris) Fiddleheads are the curled, edible shoots of the ostrich fern and are considered a seasonal delicacy in many parts of Canada. Every year, thousands of Canadians get food poisoning. Fiddleheads can cause food poisoning if they have not been stored, prepared or cooked properly. The fiddlehead resembles the curled ornamentation (called a scroll) on the end of a stringed instrument, such as a violin. It is also called a crozier, after the curved staff used by bishops, which has its origins in the shepherd's crook.
These are the fiddleheads of Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) and the flowers of common blue violet (Viola sororia) growing in Parke County, Indiana.

The oh-so-great KBlake came over this weekend and went through my WIPs. This mostly involved "just finish this!" or "you'll never wear that, frog it" and things of that sort. These Fiddleheads were in the bundle and needed......ONE LINING. Worked it up yesterday and here they are! Hooray!
i remember these from New England and have not seen them for years. I came across a patch of these in a garden in one of our parks..what a nice surprise! This reminds me of a mother looking after her child...

The spiral galaxy NGC 772 is easy to find. It is only 1.5 degrees east-southeast of Mesartim (Gamma Arietis) one of the finest bright double-stars in the night sky. NGC 772 is a reasonably bright galaxy (10.6 magnitude) and is often visited by amateur astronomers because it is included in the Herschel 400 list. NGC 772 is also a member of the “Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies” (#78) due to the presence of a dwarf-elliptical companion galaxy (NGC 770) only 160,000 light years distance from the parent galaxy. NGC 772 has one more interesting feature, a northern spiral arm extension away from the main galaxy which has given it the name of the “Fiddlehead Galaxy”.
Under suburban skies using the 155mm refractor the bright core of NGC 772 and a hint of the surrounding disk can be made out, but not additional details. By attaching the Tele-Vue/TNVC night vison monocular to the eyepiece I can extend my direct vision a couple magnitudes deeper. Using the night vision device, I could pickup both the companion galaxy (12.9 magnitude) and the northern spiral extension of the Fiddlehead Galaxy.
The drawing shows the eyepiece view without night vision enhancement, but the details of NGC 772 and its companion using the enhanced light gathering device.

Ok....here they come. Don't say I didn't warn ya. I've got a ton of these, and I just love them all! I spent HOURS with the fiddleheads. LOL Is that weird? Anyway, prepare for an invasion of fiddleheads.
Is it me, or has anyone else noticed that when you use picnic (and maybe this is true with all editing software) to put a watermark sig on your work, it lightens the entire photograph?

For a few days each spring some of the ferns in my garden form fiddleheads as they emerge. I always enjoy capturing some images of them before they stretch out and become "ordinary" ferns.
