Little Geraniums are so often over-looked in the garden. They bloom every year quietly and reliably with very little fanfare. That's why I wanted to give these little Geraniums from my garden some star treatment :)
"There's a flame of magic inside every stone and every flower, every bird that sings and every frog that croaks ... a deep, wild magic that's as old as the world itself. It's in you too, my darling girl, and in me, and in every living creature, be it ever so small. Even the dirt I'm sweeping up now is stardust. In fact, all of us are made from the stuff of stars."

“The amazing thing is that every atom in your body came from a star that exploded.
And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand.
It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics:
You are all stardust.
You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron,
all the things that matter for evolution - weren’t created at the beginning of time.
They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars,
and the only way they could get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode.
So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today.”
―Lawrence M. Krauss

(...)ho bisogno di te
che hai bisogno di me
per cambiare il tuo mondo
hai bisogno di me
che ho bisogno di te
per cambiare il mio mondo
la luna è quasi piena
il sangue nelle vene
c’è un cerchio che si chiude
ho bisogno di te
che hai bisogno di me
diamo senso ad un giorno(...)
(...)I need you
that you need me
to change your world
You need me
that I need you
to change my world
the moon is almost full
the blood in the veins
there is a circle that closes
I need you
that you need me
we make sense of a day(....)

infinite sadness,
so all I wanted was to born again from my ashes.
ignore it was gold sand,
dust of stars on my soulless body
“You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves... You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful-Stardust by Neil Gaiman

The Alchemist’s Study Featuring shelves Single 2 and Trio
I love a good broody study to retreat to when I’m fed up with the world, or just want to drink a glass of brandy. These bookshelves were made for that moment! The wood is lustrous and rich, the book covers catch the eye in pleasant ways, and it comes with options! Which is unusual for a book case.

Dude its a ZEPPELIN! I mean I’m not sure what more I could say that could convey my excitement. Its mesh is stunning, the size is fantastic and does offer a few different ones.

Group's theme: Portray a movie
STARDUST is a 2007 PG-13 movie.
"To win the heart of his beloved (Sienna Miller), a young man named Tristan (Charlie Cox) ventures into the realm of fairies to retrieve a fallen star. What Tristan finds, however, is not a chunk of space rock, but a woman (Claire Danes) named Yvaine. Yvaine is in great danger, for the king's sons need her powers to secure the throne, and an evil witch (Michelle Pfeiffer) wants to use her to achieve eternal youth and beauty."

An exceptional, almost magical event, and yet so easily overlooked, only lasting for seconds, and best observed through binoculars or the zoom lens of the camera:
A sun rise at 3 o’clock in the afternoon.
On the way back from a hike at Mount Edith Cavell I noticed the sun reappearing over the rim of the mountain. Wind blowing over the cliff edge raised fine snow dust and its backlit particles were glowing like sparkling stars on the sky, while the steam of a small cloud colorfully refracted the light, reminding me of the stardust of a far away galaxy.
Certainly something I have not seen before.

I think I can place this image in the “never before seen” category. The main subject here is a micrometeorite smaller than a grain of sand. On the sides, we see rough natural diamonds with impurities that cause them to fluoresce. The diamonds are bathed in ultraviolet light, causing them to emit visible light – the diamonds are the source of light for this photo. Light within diamonds illuminating stardust.
Taken with a Mitutoyo Plan APO 20x microscope objective, the full image required 575 frames to focus stack. The stacking was done with a continuous light source, so the best option here is to switch your camera to an electronic shutter. At these magnifications, the mechanical shutter shakes the camera enough to create blurry images when not using flash. The software used here is important: Helicon Focus. It’s by far the most efficient and powerful tool for extensive focus stacking, but more importantly: The company is based in Kharkiv, Ukraine. If you’re into macro photography and microscopy, check them out: www.heliconsoft.com/ - they have a 20% off sale right now.
The situation in Ukraine is optimistic and dire simultaneously, with constant bombardment from Russian missiles aimed at civilian infrastructure. Putin’s Russia is attempting to destroy the electricity grid which would keep Ukrainians in the dark, and without heat. Such an act on its own could be considered a genocide by the Geneva Conventions, on top of the other genocidal war crimes already committed in 2022… and earlier. The true spirit of Ukraine was seen over the holidays, when those without power helped others in their community, uniting strangers for essential aid but also festive cheer.
The world continues to send aid to Ukraine. The first US “Patriot” missile defense system is reported to be en route to Ukraine. A month ago, the Bulgarian government formally announced that they are sending military equipment and weapons to support Ukraine. Weapons manufacturers around the world are making ammunition as quickly as possible to replenish stockpiles from those that have given the Ukrainian military everything they could. The “war machine” around the planet is in motion.
It feels like the world is watching from the sidelines, with the goal of destroying Russia while simultaneously being weary of China. The goal should be for Ukraine to win, but to offer too much support too quickly would possibly cause Russia to back away with a massive military still intact… or use the unthinkably devastating weapons. The goal seems to be wearing down the Russian forces until there is nothing left, while cruise missiles impact on homes and hotels. Innocent lives are lost in the process.
Sanctions appear to be working, but Russian weapons are still being built. Cruise missiles recently launched at Ukrainian civilian targets can be traced to manufacturing dates in September 2022. Drones continue to arrive from Iran, though thankfully they have been largely ineffective on the battlefield and are shot out of the sky. Rumours of weapons shipments from North Korea are gaining credibility. Weapons alone cannot win a war, and Russia is running very low on its most important asset: trained soldiers.
The losses continue in huge numbers, with over 700 Russian soldiers killed in action every day. Many of these men have almost no training, and are being sent to areas such as Bakhmut where the Ukrainian forces decimate wave after wave of frontal attacks, losing no ground in the process.
Soon, the fields will be frozen. New territory will be liberated by the Ukrainian people. I sincerely hope that when the front line is broken once again, the Russian efforts will dissolve along with their current government. Some sources suggest that Putin has a plan to escape to Venezuela if his government collapses, although such things are impossible to verify. This winter will be the most important phase of this global conflict.
Do you sit back and watch? Most of us do. This is a reminder that you can do something to help. Write to your politicians and say that you’d rather Ukraine win swiftly at this point, since Russia is no longer a threat to the West. You can create artwork, you can donate money, and you can vote with your wallet. Personally, I now avoid buying anything from a company that still operates in Russia. You can find that list here: www.dontfundwar.com/directory . There are companies in Ukraine you can support as well – I previously mentioned HeliconSoft, but I’ve purchased some delicious spices from this store: www.ebay.com/str/ethnofoods . I’m certain there are countless other things that can be sourced from Ukraine (I’m a big fan of cast iron cookware made in Ukraine from BIOL and Maysternya).
Stay safe out there, folks. To my friends and family in Ukraine, I think about you every day. Слава Україні!
