Ice in Blue 2

Water ice backlit with blue light for the Smile on Saturday challenge: "Blue for You 2025"

 

On May 12 it's ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day.

May 12 was chosen as it coincided with the birth date of Florence Nightingale, the celebrated English social reformer and statistician, and the founder of modern nursing. Nightingale became chronically ill in her mid-thirties after returning from the Crimean War; the M.E.-like illness often left her bedridden during the last 50 years of her life.

 

This topic is intended to encourage not only the people here at Flickr who suffer from that disease, but anyone who is in pain, physically or mentally.
