  1. That's so pretty. Most artists would give their right arm to be able to paint something like that and nature just throws it all together.

  2. Jayne, I have the Astronomy Picture of the Day as my home page so every day something new and I'm sure FB would love it.

  3. It's not really that colour, you know. It's amazing what you can cook up in Photoshop these days.

  4. I know but it's pretty. The best images I have are of the 'Cat's Eye Nebula' before the different wavelengths/radio signals are combined. I couldn't take a photograph of my thumb in front of a lens.
