Thank you for your visit and comments!.

A bull elephant stands under the shade of a tree in the midday heat of 34C during Winter at Etosha national park, Namibia...the only movement was its ears flapping to keep cool and this very slight turn of its head acknowledging that it was aware of our presence...

For this weeks theme "blue for you me - 2023".

 

Our health is the most precious thing we have, we cannot take it for granted.

The United Nations General Assembly has designated November 25 as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (Resolution 54/134).[1] The premise of the day is to raise awareness of the fact that women around the world are subject to rape, domestic violence and other forms of violence; furthermore, one of the aims of the day is to highlight that the scale and true nature of the issue is often hidden.

May 12 is ME/CFS/Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day, a day to bring attention to how ME/CFS/Fibromyalgia affects those suffering from the illness.

 

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a serious, long-term illness that affects many body systems. Often, people with ME/CFS may not be able to do their usual activities. People with ME/CFS have severe fatigue and sleep problems. ME/CFS may get worse after people with the illness try to do as much as they want or need to do. This symptom is known as post-exertional malaise (PEM). Other symptoms can include problems with thinking and concentrating, pain, and dizziness.

 

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a medical condition characterised by chronic widespread pain and a heightened pain response to pressure. Other symptoms include tiredness to a degree that normal activities are affected, sleep problems and troubles with memory. Some people also report restless legs syndrome, bowel or bladder problems, numbness and tingling and sensitivity to noise, lights or temperature. Fibromyalgia is frequently associated with depression, anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder. Other types of chronic pain are also frequently present.

 

Thanks for viewing 💙💜💙

This is for all cancer fighters, survivors, and their caregivers. You are all beautifully strong. You have my utmost love and respect. If you are in the middle of it; please hold on, and keep fighting it, one moment at a time. Love you all. ♥

A Statement Against Pollution

This was a sculpture I did for an exhibition done in collaboration with the Moving Ethos Modern Dancer Company called Purity & Pollution. It was floating in the pool during the exhibition. It is entirely made out of garbage (rubbish) and is mostly made of plastics, although glass and cans (tins) are included and the surfboard of course. I am trying to encourage people to throw their garbage (rubbish) in the appropriate places, not just throw it anywhere thereby destroying, land, birds, animals, the ocean, and other waterways.

 

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Kōraku-en, Okayama, Nippon. June 2016.

So proud of Antonio and how far he has come since he started at the new school in September 2021. I have been trying to get him out of mainstream since he started school, he has struggled so much with fitting in, being bullied and not thriving due to him not being taught the right way for him. I have had to pull him from 2 different schools due to severe bullying and the teachers being unable to deal with it. Anyway, for his last year in secondary education, he finally got a place in a wonderful special needs school, and is doing brilliantly. Despite having a year off during lockdown he is set to do his GCSE’s and is applying for a course in ICT in college. His confidence is soaring, he is doing amazingly in his studies and most importantly he looks forward to going to school for the first time and doesn’t get bullied.

 

Daniel and I attended parents evening recently and we received nothing but high praise from all his teachers, and they absolutely adore him. I’m the happiest proudest Mum ever.

 

He will always have challenges throughout his life but he has proved he can thrive if he is in the right environment. The college he will be attending is in the same building as his school so he is already familiar and comfortable with the environment. Photo taken by my amazing boyfriend, Daniel who’s support means a ton, we both love you loads.

 

Due to the strength shown by Antonio, I’m now under assessment myself at the grand old age of 40 something😂, something I should have done many years ago, but wasn’t aware I may be autistic! The process will probably take a long time but it will be nice to have some clarity.

 

Have a wonderful weekend, dear flickr friends. ❤️😘

E' una parola giapponese intraducibile in italiano.

E' la sensazione struggente che si prova quando si sta vivendo un momento di grande bellezza, che si sa effimero e destinato ad esaurirsi velocemente.

I am loving this camera.

I think it's always important to be vigilant of what you're doing and aware of your surroundings.

Being aware is being alive, remember that you aren't your mind and your thoughts, you are the one observing it the "I" that is consciousness.

This is my second shot for the weekly theme of "contact," the second of four themes with which Myla Kent and I have chosen to challenge ourselves.

 

I like the large version of this one.
