I was ready for a sit down this evening and a relax with K. It's felt like a busy week and Thursdays are especially frantic with work, followed by O going to Rainbows.
I have lovely plans for tomorrow, though. Coffee with my lovely friends, followed by lunch with K.
This is a portrait I did for my wife. She asked, "where's my mouth", and I replied, "I've always said you were the perfect woman!"
The day started with sleet and wind, by mid-morning we had snow and wind, in the afternoon it was back to sleet and wind, had I got out in the snow section of the day I would have been more adventurous!
Thurso, Caithness, Scotland.
Found this little guy and his wife in my backyard. When I approached, he rolled into a ball and told me to sod off. :)
This is one of 11 photos that were solely manipulated in-camera (I added borders to a couple after loading to my PC). When I took them, I was underwhelmed with the results, so I decided to experiment with my camera's filters.
At Shree Pashupati Kanya Mandir School, an all girls school in Charikot, North Eastern Nepal, personal development has never been included in the syllabus. As a school of 600 students with limited resources, bean bags hand stitched and filled with dried corn, open up a whole new world of activities. Girls would stay after school to play 'games' that helped with team building, confidence and included physical education; also not in the syllabus.
It is uplifting to see, particularly in rural areas, that learning concepts outside of traditional subjects are getting acknowledged and appreciated. In a society where education is considered 'more important' for young boys than girls, simple ideas like these could be the necessary tools for young girls to fight poverty, stay in school and close the joblessness gap between girls and boys in developing countries.
