I love that image! It's amazing!

Mine is of the Earth as seen from the Cassini mission on 19 Jan 2013. It is reminiscent of the famous "Pale Blue Dot" photo of Earth from the voyager mission taken on Valentine's day 1990, which inspired the famous Carl Sagan musing on human existence which starts like this:

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."

Please ? feel free to switch to the amazing diatoms ? I have always liked that flower growing in the pavement, reminds me of a tree I used to walk past each morning which was growing through a metal fence, a bit like this:

How is that even possible?


Oh I don't really care about the diatoms...I used it for my pic for a while already?
Please change it back so I can enjoy looking at yours.?
They are FASCINATING!
I did a report in Jr High school about them.
I like my fractal just fine !
Just for fun, our little diatoms have a cameo in this piece...enjoy ☆

"Moss piglet" is such a cute name!
 
How is that even possible?
In the beginning, the sapling would've grown up through one of the gaps in the fence and over time, as the cambium layer in the tree grew out, it engulfed the fence as the bark developed ?
 
So my profile picture is a picture of Casey Affleck. So I watched this movie called Manchester By the Sea and I loved it so much I changed my profile picture to the main character. The movie was incredibly depressing and horribly realistic and gut wrenching. Probably the best portrayal of human grief ever put onscreen. Its in my top 5 movies of all time, I would put it on par with Casablanca and Gone With the Wind
 
The only tv the furry feller in mine watches are football games featuring Blackpool and wildlife documentaries featuring big cats.
If I see either in the listings I’ll switch it on even if we’re not watching it as he is in and out of the house dozens of times a day and I know he will settle down to watch it. I’ve hundreds of pics taken from the sofa over the years similar to this one.
We think he’s attracted to the Blackpool football games because of their unique in English football colours of Orange, maybe his eyes are attracted to orange more than the red, yellow, gold etc of other teams? He’s not from Blackpool or has any family from there and they’ve been rubbish to watch since the 1950s so it’s the only explanation we can think of as it’s a bizarre team for a human non Blackpool native/resident to be interested in never mind a feline one.
The first time he saw a bird on tv he attacked the screen which taught him a lesson. He now knows stuff on there isnt real. Which also came in handy when returning to the hobby as we cast hours of aquarium footage from you tube onto the tv and he looked initially then totally Ignored it.
The TVs in the house are on one side of chimney breasts and aquariums on the other. We think that he thinks they’re TVs. Which they do resemble in both dimensions, material and colouring when turned both on and off.
Long may this continue.
