Taken Saturday for #ThickTrunkTuesday A Sycamore tree is surrounded by yellow daffodils near the German State Opera (Deutsche Staatsoper) in Berlin, Germany.

At the #NoKings in Berlin, Germany, the wannabe emperor wasn’t wearing any clothes.

Reminds me of Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Emperor’s New Clothes.”

Crocuses popping up near my bus stop this morning give me hope that spring is coming soon.

The President of the United States is openly threatening to 'nationalize' elections, and it's no mistake he intentionally targeted Detroit. In Michigan, we've led the nation in expanding access to and securing our right to vote. And we won't stop now.

The sun shines over Lake Müritz (Müritzsee) in northern Germany, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Frosty red rose in my garden this morning.

My garden continues to surprise me with colors. White chrysanthemums contrast with fallen Red Japanese maple leaves.

This is so scary and already happening in the USA.

If the escalator stops, put on a smile and start walking.

Oh how I loved watching this honeybee buzzing around the Sedum ‘Autumn Joy.’ #MacroMonday #Honeybees #pollinators #Bloomscrolling

Getting ready to pick our plentiful purple plums (Prunus domestica).

Gee, has this president even visited any of the museums? All the Smithsonian Museums are full of wonderful discoveries and innovations. It has long been a place of learning where one can view and be amazed by so many artifacts from the past, present and with exhibits about the future.

Mad Magazine knew back in 1992.

To watch: Disney’s The Lion King

Excellent educational video about this shallow water ecosystem. This eelgrass meadow covers 8,000 acres in the Padilla Bay Estuary in Washington, USA.

I discovered this lovely Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui) resting on my terrace this morning. #butterflies #nature

A bee fact and a sounds of nature working video. Thank you Bee Guy! #bees #birds

Thank you! Two things for my reflection today: Wisdom from Agatha Christie and the painting entitled Summer by Nikolay Bogdanov-Belsky in 1911.

The first purple morning glory (Ipomoea purpurea) looking very velvety in my garden this morning.

Oh, what a lovely flower. I love the color, too.

I love my cheery clump of Blue Balloon Flowers (Platycodon grandiflorus). #bluemonday #blueflowers

I was excited to finally get this photo of a very energetic Silver-washed Fritillary (Argynnis paphia) on my Annabelle Hydrangea this morning. #insectsThursday

This is perfect timing! I just saw Galaxy Quest for the very first time last week on German TV. Great movie!

Yet another time when a Michael deAdder cartoon said a thousand words.

It’s hard work, but very rewarding to admire.

Terrific turtles to the rescue.

Well said. Thank you for all your hard work and to helping to make the USA a better country.

I went through a lot of ideas for my protest sign tomorrow, because I have a LOT of anger right now… but I finally decided that since I live in a deeply red county in a red state, I needed a plain, concise message that people might actually consider… even if just for one second. Be safe tomorrow.

BESSENT: We inherited this fiscal situation-- BENNET: You inherited it from Donald Trump! He's the first president to come back after a four year hiatus after we know exactly what the last tax cuts did, which was blow a massive hole in our deficits and debt. You can't sit here and lie about that!

A very good question from the reporter. The answer is a Leavitt lie.

Happy #PrideMonth! 🏳️‍🌈

The best teachable moment. ♥️

Important Civics reminder.

My purple clematis bloomed between rain showers today.

I ♥️ Mad Magazine.

This president is delusional and makes up lies that everyone is “out to get” the USA.

Understanding habeas corpus.
