On Florence Nightingale's Birthday , and as we celebrate Nurses week ...and as we thank those in health care . I though I would post the pledge so many of us nurses recited just after being capped and pinned .
We, the citizens of Singapore,
pledge ourselves as one united people,
regardless of race, language or religion,
to build a democratic society
based on justice and equality
so as to achieve happiness, prosperity
and progress for our nation.

L’œuvre Pledges ("Promesses") de KALLIOPI LEMOS installée dans la cours du Château des Ducs de Bretagne à Nantes est une allégorie des voyages et des espoirs des exilés.
Elle représente un bateau turc abandonné après avoir transporté des migrants vers les îles grecques. Il est recouvert de milliers de "tamata", ces offrandes votives fabriquées à la main et déposées par les migrants dans les églises orthodoxes afin de surmonter les défis du voyage incertain qui les attend.

And, when the stream
Which overflowed the soul was passed away,
A consciousness remained that it had left,
Deposited upon the silent shore
Of memory, images and precious thoughts
That shall not die, and cannot be destroyed.
(William Wordsworth)
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
On September 8, 1892 a Boston-based youth magazine "The Youth's Companion" published a 22-word recitation for school children to use during planned activities the following month to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Columbus' discovery of America. Under the title "The Pledge to the Flag", the composition was the earliest version of what we now know as the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.
I'm guessing that at least 50% of you are probably thinking... now why would he share an out-of-focus photo of Knysna (with some Protea flowers in the foreground)?
Then there will probably be some of you who feel that both the flowers and the background should be in focus... because that's what we landscape photographers strive for right... to capture everything front-to-back in sharp focus?
I also suspect that there will be a few people who feel that if they had to choose between the two... then it should be the town that's in focus instead of the flowers.
I tried all the various options... but I decided to settle on this option. :)
Firstly it was quite windy... so focus-stacking didn't work here... so getting a photo with both the flowers and the town in focus was a complete impossibility.
Then I asked myself... what is the primary subject of this photo? The foreground or the background? For me it's definitely the flowers in the foreground. So I focussed on those.
But maybe I should go back to this exact same spot in better light and when the wind has died down completely... and do this properly? What do you think? ;)
☆ Pledge Week 2
Sunshine, sisterhood, and Sigma Xi Psi 🌸So grateful for the amazing bonds I’m forming with my line sisters and big sisters during rush week! ✨ The assignments are fun, the company is even better, and there’s no place I’d rather unwind than by the pool!!

Whilst looking through some of my grandma's papers at my cousin's place the other day we found this enigmatic tintype image - my great grandmother was involved in the temperance movement, and I guess that this photo would seem to commemorate a family member taking the pledge to abstain from alcohol. However, I am not entirely certain about this, and would appreciate any suggestions.
As a ritual for the New Year Days,
They come to the temples, and
From the hawkers stall they buy
These fancy little bags
Then fill with hefty wishes,
Their promises, or vows herhaps
And hang on tree branches,
With them, their words in the air.
Such are easy pledges and cheap,
Unaware whether they are going to keep.
The bags remains there in abeyance,
Unattended, uncared and so faded with time.
Just wonder if their words still survive?
For some are, but more
Will come back and hang new ones,
Without bothering to untie
So to unlock those previous ones,
Whereby lies heaping on lies.
A pledge is a promise to be honoured, and
It will be a sin if it is not
Commissioned and fulfilled when you can.
I don't pledge, surely
Don't need those silly bags either, simply
Becasue I know my words are to keep when I can.

Spent the entire day at the beach with my amazing Big Sister Serenity and my line sister Esme. Cant wait to bond even more over our shared love for gaming and all the adventures to come. So grateful to have met these incredible sisters! 🎮💖
I was glad to see she finally fully rezzed. She's a gorgeous cat & very smart. I'm glad she's with us.
Why are the beautiful hiding in the background behind the glowing yellow one in front? Because I chose to photograph them that way. But millions of women don't have the choice of what to do with their lives.
The World Economic Forum predicted in 2014 that it would take until 2095 to achieve global gender parity. Then one year later in 2015, they estimated that a slowdown in the already glacial pace of progress meant the gender gap wouldn't close entirely until 2133. Each of us can help women and girls develop and achieve their ambitions as part of the goal of reaching parity between men and women.
Happy International Women's Day! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.
