G is for Galaxy

G is for Galaxy....
A to Z blogging challenge

I am heading down to judge a state wide art competition for grades 3-12 today. In fact, I am charge of all the artwork from my school - it is a big responsibility, I worry all the way through this event - and the weeks and months leading up to it- if I can handle it. If I can safely transport all my students best work without any damage. It would have to rain today. Why I volunteer for such a job, I have no idea. Seriously, it is not so wise to give a flighty artist so much responsibility.

or so I say. 

Look at the images from NASA...the youtube video posted above it just remarkable. God himself is an artist, those colors, the composition - Gorgeous, simply gorgeous. Heavens declare his Glory.
 All the artwork, the massive amount of paperwork and gobs of brain power required to get through this weekend...
is nothing more than a blip on the radar
no, not even a blip
this day will be here and gone
the beautiful art work that these talented kids worked on
gone
but the ridiculously massive galaxies remain
goodness
we are so small
*giggles nervously*
gee golly that's
great

  1. Gorgeous pictures! The only "A" I received in college, other than some law classes, was in Astronomy. Absolutely enthralling. Cool that you do that for the students! No sweat - you got it.

  6. The photos are beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing them. I worked for a newspaper who held contests for kids. Judging their artwork wasn't so hard, because so many of us participated. I feel for you. If you would like to read my latest post for the A-Z Challenge, just click http://myheartblogstoyou.blogspot.com/ and look at the top blog.
