it sometimes even baffles me

unplanned, it's juxtaposition writ large--ice a week ago, galaxy 5 days

side by side i saw same contours, shapes, scales--impossible is an opinion, this is real!

study the same long shape in terrestrial ice & note the ice's contours largely mirrored in nebula & stars
original image credit to DaveS via stargazer's lounge; this ain't no hobbled hubble, DaveS got it maybe 8hr exposure? 50+ lightyears "tall", 2100 lightyears distant, this matches some last winter n. hemisphere ice, i'm into BOTH pics & this is some new category record 4 my already near-magical pattern-recognition capabilities seeing this, thousands of years, orders of magnitude, deadset miracle this mirrors the ice the ice showing this, how is this our Earth, & God's universe in concert showing the same thing? so many variables, it's uncanny beyond so much! original image credit to Getty Images, by way of whoever they steamrolled it off of; hard to download, bbc.com making content uber-drm-ringfenced, all instances i encounter of preventing free movement of idea/expression/content without express notice (or any, even..) reasoning & justification, authority, remit, etc., -- if ur stopping or blocking anything, propose 1st with exception to contents expicit unauthorized; information being silo'd is of old & not the future of hope dream or red-blooded creatures must be ISS aerial pic or satellite? i forget, it played good fun factor & phonewallpaper very good, it was waiting me post process two ice theme companions & dump the 3, still on backburners! iceflows, the fleming's triangle shapes contours scale match is supernatural!

but still more facets

aliving, undiminishing all

it just gets noticed, fleeting glance
there be glory within ringeth true
colored litmus-acted wet-topped
spray-drizzle minerals whittle within
tapped, toasted, fined 2 top fullest
beauties unending every direction
future & past, able & do, yes we are
original image credit to Alyssa Slay; colored a4 paper litmus-reacted with sprayed liquid; artistic potential noticed, added wet layer produces tri-tone contrast & alternate hues seemingly develop; original was 25% pastel indigo blue tainted pink & purple splats from wet spray, oranges & yellows develop in several places

grown by mettle, times multiplied,
days 2 wander, lone wonder
alone not, its star above,
a recurring nurturing wrath
fence an allegory 4 time,
past leads away
future races towards
all seeing it
shadows cast like bones--
experiences--trees don't wonder,
silently increasing majesty
2 themselves & all
original image credit to Jody C Fine Art Photos; frigid wintery pic of mature deciduous tree in stark repose with younger saplings rearward 2 one side on ready like hushed apprentices; bright snow covers everywhere & a white fence delineates a clouded blue sky from the flat terraine beneath; all the branches' shadows are lain in foreground with a scintillating sun behind all, high above

champion pic!

raw chaos in still-life
beauty accomplished many ends by a single throw of the hammer

forge of dreams, energies limitless
the cosmos itself jealous
who dares doing like never before?
yesterday & tomorrow
capture ourselves
ensnare, express, share
exceed--live new deeds

formless, unforgettable
fiery burst gone electromagnetic-wild,
generating an earthbound nebulae
--it sizzles in2 psyche--
a song of light,
trace the auras here
delight thine eyes deserving
pixel pageant, aerosol flame
it's fluid chaos powerful
yet elementally shaped
by our minds
original image credit to Alyssa Slay; aerosol eucalpt disinfectant + butane lighter = +\- watch out! careful attempting diy, blowbacks not those blows but blown up blown up; this is lanscape orientation of me shooting aerosol disinfectant over an open flame, *poof*!! background colors sneaked in on their own, balancing the angles & pinions; brilliant vivid blues, purples, reds, pinks, oranges, & icing on the cake 2 cap it the bright center resembling a cloud pegasus of sorts, more wonder charging in...

irresistable ice, always suffice
#phonewallpaper nice,
pic inspiring, toasted wildly,
look what's found within,
cryo-colors frosty fireworks--
abstract imagination candy--
crystals cascade, sands & seas
love, life, the 2...

idyllic, relaxscape, wander here & let the air & light soak in 4 awhile; some sort of nexus here, inviting lookers in--#phonewallpaper wouldn't pass this 1 up!

this 1 by intent,
lined up shimmery tines
perspective & some wavelengths
just 2 see if vision borne here
always surprises, glassy
candy-rich deep greens,
sweet lime 2 limonello yellow
pattern trapping sunlight
absorbed 2 incandescence
glowing rows, furrows
nothing yet unmistakeable
#phonewallpaper
original image credit to Alyssa Slay; metal skewers arranged parallel on cloth atop bench countertop, morning sunlight indirect but still interacting, reflective; camera out to see if it could catch what eye was seeing; just the leading edge, it blossomed all its own 4 my confidence & curiosity 2 be justly rewarded; rapt, better than imagined, so deeply richer, vision saw brighter sparkle & way way less color... appearance of vertical columns of glowing green minerally-glass, highlights abounding, presence astounding

camera @ it again,
percolating beneath
wonderful within
space unlimited
4 all willing
journeys to tell
past & future yell
we have now & forever
seldom both, &
eternity is together
not entropy's rope run out--
willingness--what we're always about,
not just living a dream, but being it

original image credit to Alyssa Slay; original was hazy gray capture with faintest iridescent sheen; once-toasted background jumped out & second pass left it looking like cosmic microwave background, a deep deep star field, or a super closeup of surface textures; every color in splotched patches & dots, all small & creating noise pattern with multitudes of hues & shades

phone enchanted, camera savant
candies way dandies fills the sails
w/luscious winds thick w/aura
plentitude of sorts; portals revealed
dazzling ours abstract so altogether new
capturing unknowns, weaving
surprise after surprise
sunrise after sunrise
we will make the way not done b4,
grace is now...
original image credit to Alyssa Slay; well wouldn't u know it, camera must've hit an unlock, now getting otherworldly pics out of nowhere, daily... was me pix of wildlife but this is slay-toastie shot of my leg & thigh, facing down @ floor, it was bland pic but i know now the force lines these marvels, i put to work & indeed the energy is strong with this one, abstract colors, textures, form, my salute to renaissance masters of impressionism & abstract, this is glee in the flesh, goosebumps & all

grand slam out of the park, God-tier captioning & alt-text in no small measure... *whistles*

#phonewallpaper purple mountains more! =D
original image credit to MGM Grand on Bluesky; yet another moment in Glacier National Park's twilight splendour, before all, when mind was everything,c this color was decided upon, the glow of mountains & dawns & days by; somehow moments concentrate, all aiming toward a distant azimuth we know exists yet defies being perceived; nature & the cosmos have kept these & many things more on the longest of arcs, & now the azimuths are racing toward a convergence finally evident & so true

identity--we are all a galaxy within
every color adding distinction
yet without this variety
if too many are same or alike
it's harder 2 tell who we are
diversity improves identity
many qualities it touches
the galaxy within
we become
colors 4 all, of all, by all
moments or lifetimes
#phonewallpaper
original image credit to Alyssa Slay; snap, crackle, & pop! camera thought it was myriad colored-lights reflecting in undulating wet asphalt pavement just after a downpour; it did the wrong exposure or something but instinctively went completely limp just before impact, this marvel the result... i saw leaves & lights in puddles going full matrix-round & cropped the paydirt, toasty-ghosty, deepen the field & even more shows up! full-spectrum of shapes sizes contours & colors in verifiable roiling miasma of glowing confetti over pavement dimmed into abyss

joy 2 create,
even any mistakes--
still, beauty awaits--
wiggled it a bit
madness, this
camera possessed
phantom shot
wheel, lights, boughs, sky
all so strangely mixed
this wonder our privledge
fantastic, revel shall all
this is the way
guiding bright
we follow

monochrome, ever adapts, exacts, restates & invents, lays waiting not sulky, until it leaks through, 2 holler canyon-echoing lemonade-slushie vision like magic pixie drinks of old

times of renown, all are tomorrow, very together--including all silos capability--a trillion-threaded tapesty unfods...
original image credit to Alyssa Slay; downtown Bris-vegas, gone slay & looking the parr 4 its trouble... scenes of beauty--city a part of this journey--how is it all may be both fearsome & redeeming, dependent only on views we hold & apply? cityscape brings it's own game to play of light & contour, towering jigsaw blocks upwards perspective provided--added flare was merely using some good real estate for candy-eyed pied pipers marching the lands

grimace's homeworld in there somewhere, this an ace shot, clamor'd 4 #phonewallpaper config, scooted some off 2 the right

damned-fine r.o.i., rippled waters busy doing nice job texturizing the mountains reflection

how much planning, or was it opportunity?

#phonewallpaper... this was a cirrus SR22 million-dollar single-engine plane, composite & light, yet lacking... rated to 4g... pffft!

levels be alive, blurs times five, highlights go nine, levels remixed,
begin looking fine, toast some more,
zoom the score, screenshot once,
beauty intensely sweet
original image credit to Alyssa Slay; graphic design toast recipe, the best things come 2 those who wait! life, dreams, that forever dimension time, it runs anyway but backwards, racing 2 contain all it may; we, too, strive in our ways yet we are not forever so grasp from within & cast oneself upon the 4th dimension & plant the flag in time itself so it will never be rid of us!
