This is sort of how I feel lately:
Like spring. Haphazard, and reaching toward the light, and walking the line between blossoming and withering. Green.
This is old, and unedited, but I love it all the same.
I'm considering doing 365, because I need to commit to c r e a t i n g something. What do you think?
I think I need more flowers in my life.
Sometimes, there will be tulips. They are just as beautiful as buds as they are as blossoms.

The worst parts are behind me from where I took the picture, lol!
Messier 51 - Whirlpool Galaxy by Paul Hutchinson
(Reprocessed)
Wikipedia: The Whirlpool Galaxy, also known as Messier 51a, M51a, or NGC 5194, is an interacting grand-design spiral galaxy with a Seyfert 2 active galactic nucleus in the constellation Canes Venatici. It was the first galaxy to be classified as a spiral galaxy. Recently it was estimated to be 23 ± 4 million light-years from the Milky Way, but different methods yield distances between 15 and 35 million light-years.

We had chili and spaghetti for dinner tonight. Most of Emilia's meal ended up on her face and on Roxie, as she was scavenging just below. What she did get in her mouth, however, she did seem to enjoy.
This was probably the first globular cluster discovered, by Abraham Ihle in 1665. According to Kenneth Glyn Jones, it is supposed (e.g. by Admiral Smyth) that Hevelius may have seen it even earlier, but Halley, De Chéseaux and Messier commonly acknowledge Ihle's original discovery. This globular was included in Halley's list of 6 objects published 1715, and observed by De Chéseaux (his No. 17) and Le Gentil as well as by Abbe Nicholas Louis de la Caille, who included it in his catalog of southern objects as Lacaille I.12. Charles Messier, who cataloged M22 on June 5, 1764, states that it is also included in John Bevis' English Atlas.

I only photographed this web because I had never seen one so messy. It wasn't until I brought it up on the computer that I noticed the baby spiders.
These appear to be my grandfather, Trevor's messy trousers, I don't know how they got in such a state.

Located in the constellation Pegasus, Messier 15 is around 33,600 light years from Earth, spans 175 light years & at 12 billion years old is one of the oldest known globular clusters.

Messier 103 (also known as M103, or NGC 581) is an open cluster where a few thousand stars formed in the constellation Cassiopeia.
This open cluster was discovered in 1781 by Charles Messier’s friend and collaborator Pierre Méchain.
It is one of the most distant open clusters, with distances of 8,000 to 9,500 light years from the earth and ranging about 15 light years apart. There are about 40 member stars within M103, two of which have magnitudes 10.5, and a 10.8 red giant, which is the brightest within the cluster. Observation of M103 is generally dominated by the appearance of Struve 131, though the star is not a member of the 172-star cluster.
M103 is about 25 million years old.
I loved the addition of the line games. I missed the first line games, but saw the messy board that follows.

Messier 15 is a Globular Star Cluster in the constellation of Pegasus. When taking a picture of the cluster in Hydrogen Alpha (626.28nm) the Planetary Nebula Pease 1 is readily visible.
