IMO the 25th is about putting a wrench in the momentum of calls for impeachment (a repeat of 2019/20 stall tactics).

The 25th doesn't contain a mechanism for holding Trump accountable or preventing him from returning to power, restoring our Constitution or its norms,

Calliandra eriophylla, commonly known as fairy duster, is a low spreading shrub which is native to deserts and arid grasslands in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Mexico.

The fairy duster flowers are a pale pink color and are an attraction to animals that live in the desert. This plant becomes a source of food for the deer that roam in the desert or hillsides. The plant also attracts butterflies, bees and hummingbirds for nectar when the flowers are blooming. (Wiki)

Georgia O‘Keeffe produced more than 20 scenes of New York City between 1925-30. 

Here, the power and presence of the modern era are epitomized in the city’s thrusting architecture. 

During the first half of the 1900s, skyscrapers came to exemplify U.S. ingenuity. O’Keeffe reduced these immense buildings to simple geometric forms that converge in the upper reaches of the dark canvas, towering even above the moon.

She places the viewer between these architectural giants. We might feel small in their midst, forced to crane our necks skyward to take it all in, or we might marvel at the staggering feats of engineering that soar above our heads. The brightly glowing moon offers a round contrast to the super-straight lines of the city.
