I remember someone who meant a great deal to me once said "try to keep things as simple as you can, life will always make them more complicated". He was right. Life is messy. But sometimes it's in the mess that you find the most beautiful things.

Forest scenes are always a struggle. I envy the masters who can isolate the branch gestures and avoid the chaos to revel hidden personalities of trees. But there is also something alluring in the disorder and sheer explosion of life trying to make better place for itself over the competition.

 

There is no better place to experience it than shores of the boggy lakes. Plants, reeds and trees just grow over each other in a cacophony of life. It is a bit confused and messy, but it has the quality of an unvarnished truth: this is the way things are.

Messier 94, the spiral galaxy in the constellation The Hounds. It was seen in a telescope by Messier's colleague Pierre on March 22, 1781. Also called NGC 4736, it has a diameter of 50,000 light years and is 16 million light years away from Earth. If you want to think in big numbers, the galaxy contains something like 40 billion stars.

The Trifid Nebula (catalogued as Messier 20 or M20 and as NGC 6514) is an H II region located in Sagittarius. It was discovered by Charles Messier on June 5, 1764.[3] Its name means 'divided into three lobes'. The object is an unusual combination of an open cluster of stars; an emission nebula (the lower, red portion), a reflection nebula (the upper, blue portion) and a dark nebula (the apparent 'gaps' within the emission nebula that cause the trifurcated appearance; these are also designated Barnard 85). Viewed through a small telescope, the Trifid Nebula is a bright and peculiar object, and is thus a perennial favorite of amateur astronomers.[4]

 

The Trifid Nebula is a star-forming region in the Scutum spiral arm of the Milky Way.[5] The most massive star that has formed in this region is HD 164492A, an O7.5III star with a mass more than 20 times the mass of the Sun.[6] This star is surrounded by a cluster of approximately 3100 young stars.[7]

I found it funny that a homeless person was complaining to me about how Fred Meyers has let the back of their store get so messy. So, I took a picture of it.

This very messy looking turtle appears to have just climbed out of mucky yucky bottom of the lake for a bit of warming sunshine.

 

There were hardly any turtles sunning on logs during this trip to the arboretum, most were swimming around in the lake, so naturally when I spotted this one posing so nicely I had to gab a shot or two.

 

Best guess is this is a Yellow Bellied Slider. A positive ID would be most welcome.

He is one our regular visitor Mr/Mrs Keet showing me it messy beak while posing for a photo.

On May 25, I captured Messier 71 (M 71), a loosely concentrated globular cluster in the constellation Sagitta. I noted it's located approximately 12 000 to 13 000 light‑years away from Earth. M 71 is less dense than many other globular clusters—its stars are more spread out—making it somewhat challenging to delineate its core clearly. It reaches its annual culmination around midnight and is best observed in mid‑July.

Thought to peel an egg for this week's challenge... turned out a bit messier than I planned for

Red-bellied woodpeckers have special cells on the end of their bills that are constantly being replaced due to the birds pounding on trees. In addition, red-bellied woodpeckers have a tongue almost 2 inches longer than its bill. The tip of their tongue is barbed, which along with sticky saliva, allows the bird to extract tasty prey from crevices in trees.

The Seronera pride had brought down a Wildebeest earlier and the whole family were enjoying there meal during my last visit. Luckily they all looked up at the same time for a second to show me their dirty faces.

Another little tide pool macro. I really hope I get to go proper diving with this camera some day.

The typical aftermath of Mittens' feedings. She has always been a very messy eater and just recently I had a lightbulb moment and now I have been putting a placemat on the floor to contain her mess. After a recent spaying, she has to wear the “cone of shame” for two weeks. It's a good thing I temporarily took her cone off!

Yeah...I know...another spiral shot. This one care of the wonderful Newport Street Gallery in Lambeth. Not only are there 3 spiral staircases in there, the building itself is worth a visit along with the interesting exhibits they have in there.

 

This is the middle staircase. Like most spiral shots, there is a million and one ways of doing this.

 

I first saw an excellent shot of these stairs by Li Shen (www.flickr.com/photos/lishengo). This was followed quite quickly by another superb shot by Jeff Barry (www.flickr.com/photos/jbarry5). It's interesting to see how each of us processes in a very different way.

The only sanctuary from those damn kids.

For all the hair I have in my inventory I only ever seem to wear the same two or three. I really like messy hair, probably because my hair is quite messy in RL. I came across this Sintiklia Bethy Hair and lately I have been taking it for a spin. I really like it but it has one big disadvantage. Wisps from the hair make my eyebrows disappear behind them which looks very odd to say the least. Yes I know it's alpha clashing between the hair and the eyebrows but it really makes the hair unusable. I used angles to correct for it in these pics although I did have to draw in part of one eyebrow. A shame really.

Messier 3 a beautiful globular cluster in Canes Venatici.

 

This was captured from my garden on 3rd April 2023 with a bright 95% lunar phase. This made the sky very bright making most deep sky targets washed out.

 

Globular clusters are bright in terms of deep sky targets and are still possible to image despite the bright moon.

 

This was captured using my monochrome camera and red, green and blue filters to create a full colour final image.
