Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

A shot of the sunflower field, with greenery at the bottom, a blaze of yellow sunflowers across the middle, and dark pine trees and a glimpse of overcast sky in the background.
A close up of a bee foraging for pollen on the centre part of a sunflower head. The for section of the bee is covered in yellow pollen, like it dived headfirst into this flower.
Went to Pick Your Own Sunflowers Dunnstown with a friend on Sunday. Aside from seeing "influencers" posing everywhere and too many people wearing white sneakers for a farm, it was a nice morning. The best shot I took was this bee with its forelegs, chest and head covered in yellow sunflower pollen.

They were nice chocolates.

A collage with three panels. The first one on the left features vases of greenery and a red rose, a white planter in the shape of Edgar Allan Poe's head with a fern in it, crystals and crystal geodes, a baby Chinese Money plant in a black 3D printed pot, a tiny pinecone, a Cemeterrarium, a small, round white ceramic plate with three cat-themed chocolates on it and a glass teacup filled with rich, orange-coloured black tea. The next one on the top right features the yellow tin the chocolates came in. The final panel on the lower right features a close up of one of the cat-themed milk chocolates - a cat stretching.
Today's afternoon tea ... Australian Rainforest black tea with some lovely Goncharoff 'Angege' chocolates my friend recently brought back from Japan.

A passage from Book 5 of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, which reads: "I am made up of the causal and the material. Neither of these will disappear into nothing, just as neither came to be out ofnothing. So every part of me will be assigned its changed place in some part of the universe, and that will change again into another part of the universe, and so on to infinity. A similar sequence of change brought me into existence, and my parents before me, and so back in another infinity of regression. Nothing forbids this assertion, even if the universe is subject to the completion of cycles."
A favourite section from Book 5 of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.

My friend's kitty has picked up on my mood tonight and is sitting close by, almost like she's guarding me. 🖤

Like a cathedral, the cedars and ferns surround me in the rainforest. Moss my bed, stone my chair, I am at home in these woods.
A hand holding a Penguin paperback copy of How to Be a Stoic, featuring the translated writing of the great Stoic philosophers Epictetus, Seneca and Marcus Aurelius. There's a black table top in the foreground, an assemblage of greenery to the left, and a clay heart under a dome, some apothecary vials filled with snapdragon seed pods, and half of a pink granite Egyptian cat head sculpture to the right.
Current reading.
Herbs and greenery in glass vases, a white planter in the shape of Edgar Allan Poe's head with a fern in it, crystals and crystal geodes, a baby Chinese Money plant in a black 3D printed pot, a tiny pinecone, a small, narrow white ceramic plate with two bright green pistachio biscuits (each topped with an almond) on it, and a glass teacup filled with rich, orange-coloured black tea.
Today's afternoon tea ... Australian Rainforest black tea with Cimino pistachio amaretti.

After 5 days of laying we have our 5th eastern bluebird egg. Mom should start sitting on them and they'll hatch in 12 to 14 days. Will update once we have hatchlings.

Bright green aurora borealis fills the entire night sky in sweeping arcs and curtains above a dark boreal forest in interior Alaska. Tall, leafless birch trees and several narrow spruce trees rise as black silhouettes from the bottom and left edges of the frame, their branches reaching upward toward the light. The aurora forms layered bands and soft vertical rays, with brighter concentrated patches near the center and right side of the sky. Faint stars are visible between the green light, and a small streak of light appears on the right side of the sky.
Some nights, the aurora doesn’t just glow. It takes over the entire northern sky.
On very active evenings, the boreal forest feels small. The trees become silhouettes under something vast and constantly moving.

What grinds my gears about managing organisational social media accounts is when people don't read the content of posts properly, then rush to the comments to ask a question already answered in the post. 🙄😏 #socialmedialyf
Tala Guilef, Kabylie 🇩🇿 Back after 35+ years. Happy to see the cedar forest still seemingly thriving. Sadly, many cedar forests across North Africa are under human pressure and accelerating climate change. Hard not to mourn what may be lost. 🌲

Today's afternoon tea ... Mariage Frères Black Orchid tea with three of my favourite Koko Black caramel chocolates.
The rain was deeply appreciated but the storm itself was terrifying. Lots of trees down in the area.
