10 for today

Some of the last images captured of Mercury, before the MESSENGER spacecraft crashed on its surface after 11 years of success on its missio

Mesmerising!

 Below is Pyrite, also known as "fool's gold" in its natural form. The universe is filled with magnificence.

Coloured scans of brains are intriguing, all those different colours different aspects of who we self-identify as, what our memories are, basically everything that makes us, us.

The brilliant underwater sculpture museum in Mexico, more here

These butterflies are made entirely out of bits of electronics

I have irresponsibly lost the source of this Instagram account, I found this enchanting work via National Geographic

Robert Montgomery art above and below. Melancholy, wistful, eerie and beautiful. Decided it best not to run a whole post otherwise I would never shut up

A rare lenticular UFO shaped cloud, how marvellous!

The seal on the Magna Carta

Above and below the most beautiful work by Toshio Ebine, it takes me to another place, and that's where good art lives, with you in another world...

HR Pufnstuf

Been watching the adventures of Jimmy and Pufnstuf lately, I love the intensity of the colours, the wardrobe, the canned laughter! everything is so saturated colours vintage old-timey fantastic-ness!

Witchie-Poo and her Vroom-Broom

Jack Wild was so cute, its sad how that industry chews through talented young people, emphasis again on the young. Jack Wild of Oliver Twist fame, as the Artful Dodger- look how cute he was!

HR Pufnstuf, he's your friend when things get rough....;) wouldn't get away with references like that in today's strictly monitored sterile kids shows!

Tim Walker pictures for rainy days

John William Waterhouse

There's some great words out there!

Vintage moons, thinking of making a few giant paste ups of these to brighten Canberra's tunnelled walkways

Some wise words

What a lovely illustration

Chaucer's Canterbury tales, also good for rainy days with woolly socks, furry friends and spiced mead!

Mania Mania ring. I saw Jessa wearing it in Season 3 of Girls. It's kind of ridiculous to have a junkie character wearing a $300 ring, even if she is a 'bohemian' and all that

Not one for weddings, but didn't Mary look lovely back in the wedding episode before Downton depressed the interwebs with its storylines? What a lovely ethereal look. Won't see any awful puffy sleeves and diamantes back then

Pics from Tumblr and Pinterest. Let me know if you want an exact source, referencing is my downfall at Uni and on blogger
