I believe that this street artist in Brooklyn, New York has just about said it all about driving with good advice!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
#2 - 100 x challenge - Lensbaby
I was inspired by my friend Andrew's @boyunderthebridge inspirational quote images. I thought it was such a lovely thing to do that it made me want to do something similar. I am neither a poet nor inspirational but I wrote out some tags with the intention of tying them to trees on my walk. I took a photo of this one then took it down because a) it was forecast to rain and b) I wasn't sure if it was such a good idea after all.
Edit: From the lovely, encouraging response I have received so far, I will definitely be distributing the tags on my walks...thanks so much for your very welcome input! I hope it brightens a few people's day.

Stay Home - Protect the NHS - Save Lives.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
I'm sure by now everyone is now aware of the devastion in Haiti due to the massive earthquake that hit a week ago. First assumptions were that nearly 40,000 people may be dead, now officials are saying as many as 100,000 people are feared dead. An 18 month old infant was pulled from the debris just yesterday ALIVE after 68 hours. This can not help but hit home for me as my baby boy is not much older. Her mom/family members that surrounded her all perished. So many lives are still being saved but they do not have the medical treatment available to them to keep them alive from their sustained injuries. If you have watched any of the 24 hour coverage CNN is providing I am sure you know of the many tragedies that are happening every day. I am aware that many MANY people have donated already but for those of you who just haven't had the chance to find an organization I am providing a link that has many you can choose from and even designate what you would like your donation to go toward. You can pay with credit card or even paypal but what matters most is that we help in some form, even if nominal. A poor country that was already accepting help from red cross to feed a million people BEFORE the earthquake desperately needs our help. I know I'm sounding like one of those feed the children commercials but if you can just find it in your heart to donate even $5 our funds will add up to help get these people the help they need, food and even possibly the means to rebuild their homes. Praise God that so many lives were spared. Thank you for taking the time to read this and even if you don't make a donation, I hope this email has at least enlightened you to the situation happening in Haiti and that you will keep them in your prayers. Love to you all.
The general public have got the message at last.
This is Brighton’s main beach like I've never seen before. Taken mid-afternoon on a hot and sunny April day in the middle of a world-wide pandemic.
Such a total contrast to the weekend of 21/22nd March when the public ignored the governments advice to 'stay home and save lives' and to practice ‘social distancing’. Instead they flocked to the beaches, the parks, the lakes and all other leisure places. The following day, the 23rd March, the government announced the UK was to go into lockdown at midnight.
Calling the whole word 🌍
Ladies #showmeyourbra
Stay at Home!! Stay Safe !!
FLATTEN THE CURVE NOT OUR CURVES!!
Support our Hospital Staff in every country, support our carers, our doctors, our nurses, and here in the UK please support our #NHS
For years we have encouraged woman to check their breasts, to check for lumps, to get mammograms, to go for cervical smears, for years we had to break the taboo!! I have ran so many races to raise awareness and money, but now all screening everything we fought for has been cancelled indefinitely!!
If we stay at home we will flatten the curve and this in turn supports each other and every woman, we can all get through this Pandemic and then we start cancer screening again. If we don't do as our governments and hospitals ask then someone you love, your wife, your mum, your daughter, your sister, your best friend won't get screened and next year we face a cancer epidemic instead!!
My mammogram was cancelled last week indefinitely. I have a small titanium plate in my right breast, I had a small tumour removed last January, I won't get my mammogram now, I won't know if its grown back, I won't know for months, how many woman right now don't know they have a tumour and need a mammogram, the art of surviving is catching it early.
So PLEASE PLEASE stay at home, support our #NHS so they can support us

Everything helps! I'm raising money for relief efforts via Facebook after the Hurricane. Here are some other ways you can help! I have also heard that the Iowa Red Cross has sent volunteers already too.
You can make a difference in the lives of people impacted by Hurricane Dorian. Visit redcross.org, call 1-800-RED CROSS, or text the word DORIAN to 90999 to make a $10 donation. Donations enable the Red Cross to prepare for, respond to and help people recover from this disaster. This includes providing food, shelter, relief supplies, emotional support, recovery planning and other assistance. Ensure your donation helps people affected by Hurricane Dorian by choosing that option on redcross.org/donate or 1-800-RED CROSS.
They urge eligible individuals in parts of the country unaffected by the storm to roll up a sleeve to give today. The Red Cross currently has an emergency need for blood donations following a summer shortage. They have anticipate low blood donor turnout in and around affected areas due to poor weather conditions in the days ahead.
Schedule an appointment today by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
So here is a something a bit more quirky from me. The current lockdown is having a prefound effect on everyone right now and a part of my life that is effected now is the ability to head out and capture a sunrise or sunset which in the grand scheme of things is nothing. So I am turning my hand to capturing different things and this is my garden gnome standing on the lawn which I took using Tamron 24-70mm 2.8 lens. So stay safe everyone things will hopefully get back to normal soon.
'Patriotic Public Health Buttons by Su_G': 1960s campaign style buttons in patriotic red, white and blue, pinned on a white coat! (fabric mockup c/o Spoonflower)

Relates to 'Public health saves lives by Su_G': my psychedelic entry in Spoonflower's Designs for Good Design Challenge.
My inspiration for these came from a fabulous book of 1960s photographs which included some from around the 1968 Nixon campaign - which I have then subverted for a cause dear to my public health heart. It has been so dispiriting to have to explain over and over again that asking individuals to do things that benefit the group (keep everyone healthy) benefits the individual as well as everyone else.

Here is shown vividly how to make 1.Hilfe in an accident. To see how one takes off the helmet of an injured . Talk to him to keep him conscious ... one holds his head .... the other carefully removes the helmet from his head ....
....... I would have said returning to normality but Churchill Square was nothing like the normal life I had before lockdown. 3 months since I've been to a shop other than Asda. In our new norm the routes in, out and round are all one-way with arrows on the floor that you're supposed to follow and attendants making sure shoppers follow the route. Sanitizing stop points en route and Clear View Channels helping us 'stay alert'.
Coronavirus - the way out of lockdown series
This is not my photo and will remove if requested, but this message is far to important not to be seen.
Hotels are classed as hospitality and have had to close through both lockdowns. So the Grand Hotel is closed for travellers, dinners, weddings, parties, conferences and all business. But the red lights still dominate the coast road at night. The lights were first switched on to support The Show Must Go On’ campaign which was highlighting the plight of theatre workers during lockdown. I’m wondering if they remain on for that campaign or as Christmas lights or a bit of both. Or simply to cheer us up in such challenging times.
Grade 11 listed Brighton Pier has only closed three times since it opened in 1899. The first time was WW2. The 2nd time was lockdown 1 in March. Now it’s closed once more for lockdown 2.
Couldn't help myself, had to post two!
(I have been photographing pets for the last few months, and have been posting a bit less … but i had so much fun with this shoot for the desk calendar I am helping ARF (Animal Rescue Fund) with i couldn't help myself…
Bosco is such a fun, kick ass model, and he's a rescue from ARF so it seems fitting!)
