This is my desk area in April of 2004. Messy, messy, messy. The wiring mess below my desk it bad enough. And to think, this was even before I added all the networking mess that's behind my desk now.
messy. nappy. damaged hair. YUP I need a haircut!
We started the day off TOO early lol. bout 6:30am.... got home and we chilled for a bit... then knocked the F out.. seemed like hours, maybe because it was... woke up thinking we wasted our day hibernating but found out it was barely noon! holy sh*t! i love long days!
I find it difficult to let go of my neat tendencies, but I love the look of messy watercolouring and thought the pineapple image from the new July Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp was perfect for this technique. Where do you fall - neat and tidy or more relaxed loose colouring? 🎨🍍

Thanks for looking!

Messier 5. Apilado de 120x20 segs (40min), f:400mm @ F/5.7, ISO 1600. Canon 1000D +Celestron 70/400, 18-05-2012
Messier 45 (M45), also known as the Pleiades or Seven Sisters, is a bright open star cluster located in the constellation Taurus, the Bull.
The Pleiades cluster has an apparent magnitude of 1.6 and lies at an average distance of 444 light years from Earth. The cluster is also known as Melotte 22. It does not have an NGC designation.
Messier 45 contains a number of hot, blue, extremely luminous B-type stars and is one of the nearest star clusters to Earth. It is the easiest object of its kind to see without binoculars. M45 has a core radius of 8 light years and its tidal radius extends to about 43 light years. The cluster is home to more than 1,000 confirmed members, but only a handful of these stars are visible to the naked eye. The total mass of M45 is estimated at about 800 solar masses.
The Pleiades cluster occupies an area of 110 arc minutes, about four times the apparent diameter of the full Moon. Up to 14 stars are visible without binoculars in good conditions, with clear skies and no light pollution. The best time of year to observe M45 from northern latitudes is during the winter months, when Taurus constellation rises high in the sky. Because of the cluster’s apparent size, the best way to see it is through binoculars and small or wide field telescopes. Higher magnification is only recommended for studying individual stars.
The sky transparency was only so-so tonight, so I imaged an open cluster instead of something darker and more nebulous. Messier 29 is a small cluster in Cygnus comprised of a few dozen stars, the brightest of which are extremely luminous. Some people liken this cluster to a mini-Pleiades, but I see it as a tiny version of Pegasus. This cluster is in a very busy region of the Milky Way, and is surrounded by areas of light and dark nebulosity. Very long exposures bring out the bright nebulae near M29, and the areas in the left side of this photo that are largely devoid of stars are indicative of the dark regions.
This image was created from 46 one-minute exposures, and all of the processing was done in Images Plus, with the exception of a few star spikes, which I added in PaintShop Pro.
Flickr Group Roulette theme: Life is Messy. I could easily have taken a picture of just about any room in my house...but I'm afraid that would have been too honest and open and terrifying. So a messy hair picture it is.
this is the desk I share with my wife. the right side is mine, she has the left side. it is almosl allways messy like this, it drives me crazy :-/

DAYEIGHTEEN, my room is sososos messy. i have so much stuff & no where to put it anymore :( i need one of those shows to come and help me get rid of/organize my stuff. ahaha.
It is hard to tell from this picture but this car was COMPLETELY FULL OF JUNK. The only clear spot literally was the driver's seat.
Becky wanted me to point out that yes there is one car on the planet that is more messy than hers.
This is what my studio looks like when I am preparing for a big art show! Two weeks to go! I usually do my mosaics on the floor- we bought the table in hopes of me getting all the broken china and glass off the floor, but I just cant mosaic there :)
You wouldn't believe the waste left on the floor around the feeders, and not all cleared by the ground feeders, mice,squirrels etc.
I spent a calming few minutes with this messy little chap in the Bulrush during my walk yesterday, perhaps he was having lunch or finding nesting material. Their UK conservation status is currently Amber as populations fell by over 30 per cent between 1970 and 2007 likely due to the reduction of damp habitats.
