It's so irritating when Zelensky puts his Country first. Imagine if a US president had to do that. The GOP know how to betray their Country.

I wonder why!

Remember, The TACO Doctrine is nothing about what will benefit US citizens. It's what new scam is Trump about to pull. Shame on all the GOP.

Took this back in February as I was passing, I don't know if it's an old conversion or not. 🤔

Walked past this tree (sycamore,not sure🤔) at Kelvingrove Museum and Art Galleries), a couple of weeks ago. It's a wee bit bigger since I first wandered by in the late sixties.

I just wandered out to the garden (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿), and I appreciate how even light rain should never be taken for granted. There are still far too many people with very rich pockets who fail to grasp that drying up our planet is actually bad even for their entitled arrogance.

This was taken a wee while ago in a corner of our garden, I like the way nature quietly gets on with the seasons, whether you notice or not.

A wee while ago, I spotted on our garden table a water droplet that appeared to have stopped in mid-air until I saw the spiders web. The "small beautiful things" are there awaiting that fleeting moment of discovery.

This wee wildflower corner was taken about a year ago, overlooking the river Clyde from Gourock (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿), looking towards the Holy Loch where the US had their Sub. base until 1992. 🤔

Artists appear to have liked watching women read over the years. 👨‍🎨🎨

Your roses look great and from a vase. This yellow rose this morning (aint Texas) enjoying the light rain (Greenock 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿). We inherited from a neighbours garden and doing well two years on.

As a wee coincidence, St Columba's in Hopehill Rd,next to my old school (long demolished) on the left photo and St Lawrence's (Greenock, where I got married) on the right, the same designer. 🤔

Here's a white poppy from our garden yesterday (Greenock 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿). The red ones are in another corner waiting to come out.

Our garden in Greenock (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿) has a very similar Spring pallette.

Lovely butterfly. This is a "Speckled Wood" 🤔 from our garden last week Greenock 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, hadn't seen this one before.

The US always feels better when its Racist blood is allowed to flow freely through its Republican veins.

I bought this belt buckle in 1976 at a shop in the UK and now looking at the US from afar, the fact they are eroding their liberty for a tedious arrogant, corrupt, stupid, orange coloured old man beggars belief. 🇺🇲🗽✌️

Coincidently, wandering through Kelvingrove Museum and Art galleries, Glasgow last week. Stopped at one of my favourite paintings."Japanese Lady with a Fan" George Henry 1894.

Trump's advisors tell him in voices only he can hear. That a trade route blockade is a wonderful idea worthy of his brilliance.

Totally agree this is Glen Esk (Falls of Unich), from 2yrs ago, one of many wee corners in Scotland to slow down and just listen.

Fair enough! I borrowed this local bakers pic ( Aulds 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿), remember, "No sprinkles" and in moderation. 🤔 🙄 "There but for the Grace of God go I"

Maybe in the US, they should have wee libraries/sanctuaries like this for banned books. 🤔

The obsequious advisors that had Trump's regenerating ear. Did they think they had a job for life? Surely, no MAGA is that gullible......🤔

Unless ofcourse it's a special riot day, screw the constitution day, MAGA are never wrong, etc.

An hour ago I bought this classic, that my Teacher started to read to her class I was in 60 years ago (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿). I've picked it off library shelves and reread it over the years. But why any book should be taken from shelves on some psudo-religous/political angst ridden rant beggers belief 🫱📚🫲

When I walked across the city this morning from Central Stn. I suspect the future builds won't last as long or be mourned as the city's recent loss.

Do you think future artists will celebrate staring at a screen. Credit to all artists who capture how a book can be a special moment of peace.
