Beauty


I do enjoy the Realization (frequently reinforced and freshened), that Beauty is without bounds, limits, or confines. I also enjoy sharing it with You. [smile]


This image has been released by NASA as the last "pretty" image made by the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2.
The image made May 4, 2009 is of the planetary nebula known as Kohoutek 4-55.

Have you ever seen any of the DVDs that take images from the Hubble telescope and put them to classical music? I think you would love that!

Not that I could ever paint anything as good as God can :) but I'm giving away a painting on my site if you'd be interested!

I have not, in fact, seen such a DVD, Corrie Lynn, My Darling. It does sound, however, like something worthy of a good Googling. [smile]

I have enjoyed visiting your handiworks, and painted Expressions {I have scrolled back through many .. and find a lovely Respite in their beauty), But I fear that my tiny place of dwelling would be an unsuitable place of residence for anything so wonderful. I live in (and have 63 years of living, compacted into) a tiny 14X14 one-room cottage. I never have any guests or company (living as a solitary, 'Monkish' person) who would benefit from the wonderful effects of your talents. I thank you, though, for your kind (and altogether tempting) offer.

Lovingly ...

I have always assumed the universe to be infinite, thus full of infinite beauties! Shots like this just reinforce that theory for me! Thanks for sharing it, John-Michael!

I just saw a picture of that recently. How beautiful is that???? Just think of all the beauty that hasn't even been found yet??? But then again, maybe it's never meant to be either...

Hope all is well with you. Just stopping by to drop off a smile!

;o)

I read that this is called "God's Eye." It is a beautiful picture. I wonder what we'll see after the Hubble is repaired. (At least I think that's what they're doing up there!)

I agree, Beauty is indeed without bounds. I love the colours. An amazing image!

Thanks for sharing this, John-Michael.

Hope you enjoy a lovely weekend!

In case you look there, and not back here, I am sending this note to both places, Jillie, My Darling ...
"It wasn't until I was already on Hallmark's site and had chosen a card with the soft musical presence that conveyed my feelings ... that I realized that I haven't your Email address. [sigh!]

So, Jillie, My Precious One, please know that my Heart aches for your beautiful Heart's pain. I am so, so, very sorry that you and Emmett are having to walk this unhappy path together.

Loving all, and everything, that you are... "
