𝘋𝘢𝘴 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘵 🛳️ for this week's episode of #Farnsehen.
(OK, I've actually never watched it, but I thought the #fiddlehead looked like a periscope. 😅 Why isn't there a submarine emoji?!)

A close-up image of an unfurling fern frond, capturing the delicate early stage of its growth. The vibrant green frond, also known as a fiddlehead, is beginning to unfurl from its tightly coiled tip, revealing intricate, feathery leaves. The background, though softly blurred, shows additional fern fronds, adding depth to the scene. The focus remains on the fresh, tender fiddlehead and its detailed texture.

Not funny to try to imagine that white blob is NOT a white blob, it's many suns, when you zoom far in.
The only way to zoom way in, is to use your imagination.
Being a human, we have that skill, ⭕it's 200,000 lyr in diameter

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_772

106 million lyr away, discovered by German-British astronomer in 1785

Just the center, an all white blob of light

NGC 772 (also known as Arp 78 or the Fiddlehead Galaxy) is a large unbarred spiral galaxy approximately 106 million light-years away in the constellation Aries. It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 29 November 1785.At around 200,000 light years in diameter, NGC 772 is somewhat larger than the Milky Way Galaxy and is surrounded by several satellite galaxies – including the dwarf elliptical, NGC 770 – whose tidal forces on the larger galaxy have likely caused the emergence of a single elongated outer spiral arm that is much more developed and stronger than the others arms. Halton Arp includes NGC 772 in his Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies as Arp 78, where it is described as a "Spiral galaxy with a small high-surface brightness companion". 

NGC 772 probably has a H II nucleus, but it may be a transitional object.

The Fiddlehead and the Spider - Came across this tiny spider sleeping atop a like-limbed fiddlehead.

A macro photo of a very green fiddlehead fern, still curled up early in the morning. A small brown spider sleeps atop the fiddlehead, one of its legs dangling over the side.

Spring is definitely springing here in the Seattle area, with new growth everywhere. Cherry trees mostly peaked a week or so ago, but I managed to get some shots of them then, at the University of Washington quad, while doing a portrait shoot. There were *so many* people there that day!

(Cross-posted from my site, where there are additional photos: andrewflenniken.com/2025/04/11)

Lower to the ground ferns are starting to rise up, showing their fiddle-head phase. I have fond memories of going "fiddle-heading" when I was young, picking the young shoots of edible ferns while they were still tightly coiled, and seeing one makes Spring feel Very Real to me. :) Maybe I'll get out and pick some when the season has started reaching the higher elevations in the Cascades.

Color photo.  Two fern fronds, in their immature curled "fiddle-head" phase, growing next to each other from a collection of green leaves next to the ground.  The fronds are green with tiny leaves in green and brown.  Behind them, out of focus, are more fronds.
