I can't get the images of the Kyoto cherry blossoms out of my head. I love the fluffy white blossoms and the feeling of being surrounded by beautiful color.

Our gorgeous surprise dahlia: Show-N-Tell. Mystery bulbs given to us by a friend. This one turned into a 9” bloomer!

This beauty is the Bellingham Sundial Mural in downtown Bellingham, WA. If you zoom into where the lines in the center are, you'll see the dial is pointing to after 4:30 and it was about 4:45 when I took the photo.

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

Once tRump is out of office, Congress should pass a law/amendment/whatever-it-takes to abolish the Presidential Executive Order.
That is his major tool for destroying our democracy and nobody should have that kind of quick-pen power.

I was invited to the T-shirt design reveal for the 2026 Cooper River Bridge Run 10K at Charles Towne Landing in Charleston SC. I noticed a cool pond on the way in and went to check it out when I left. I've never seen anything like this, hundreds of wading birds in the trees. Amazing sounds, #Birds

Not the usual here, but not good enough to tag for astronomy…
Strange “arrangement” of moon and clouds last night.
Do you see what I see?

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.
