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.

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.
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.

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

In the early hours of May 16, 2025, I conducted an imaging session of Messier 3, a globular cluster located approximately 34,000 light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici. The session began shortly after midnight and concluded around 2:00 AM.Using a Vixen VC200L telescope paired with a Canon EOS R(a) camera, I captured 25 exposures, each lasting 300 seconds, at ISO 1600.The equipment was mounted on a Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro, enhanced with belt and hypertune modifications, and guided with an APM 240mm scope and ToupTek GPM462M camera. Post-processing was carried out using , PixInsight, and Affinity Photo. The imaging took place in Koblenz, Germany.
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.
A favorite galaxy for AP or Visual for any armature astrophotographer or astronomer.

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.

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.
Great-tailed Grackle
Large, lanky blackbird with flat crown and long tail. Males have ridiculously long tails, almost as long as their body, often held in a V-shape. Males are glossy black. Females are brown with paler eyebrow and throat. Eyes yellow to white; dusky for immatures. In coastal Texas, where its range overlaps with Boat-tailed Grackle, note habitat (more generalized as opposed to strictly saltmarsh) and pale eye (not brown).

The Eagle Nebula (catalogued as Messier 16 or M16, and as NGC 6611, and also known as the Star Queen Nebula and The Spire) is a young open cluster of stars in the constellation Serpens, discovered by Jean-Philippe de Cheseaux in 1745–46. Both the "Eagle" and the "Star Queen" refer to visual impressions of the dark silhouette near the center of the nebula,an area made famous as the "Pillars of Creation" imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope. The nebula contains several active star-forming gas and dust regions, including the aforementioned Pillars of Creation. (Wikipedia)
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!

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.

This sparkling jumble is Messier 5 — a globular cluster consisting of hundreds of thousands of stars bound together by their collective gravity.
But Messier 5 is no normal globular cluster. At 13 billion years old it dates back to close to the beginning of the Universe, which is some 13.8 billion years of age. It is also one of the biggest clusters known, and at only 24 500 light-years away, it is no wonder that Messier 5 is a popular site for astronomers to train their telescopes on.
Messier 5 also presents a puzzle. Stars in globular clusters grow old and wise together. So Messier 5 should, by now, consist of old, low-mass red giants and other ancient stars. But it is actually teeming with young blue stars known as blue stragglers. These stars spring to life when stars collide, or rip material from one another.

Messier 61 (M61) + SN 2020jfo
doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17635376
The stellar stream is faintly visible in the image.
Supernova SN 2020jfo was discovered on May 6, 2020, by the Zwicky Transient Facility. It was the eighth supernova recorded in this galaxy since observations began in 1926. It was a type II event, meaning it resulted from the collapse of the core of a supergiant star.
Taken with ED127mm f/9 + Canon EOS 4000D. FoV cropped in the common area between sessions. 30-second shots at 3200 ISO.
