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.
Overcast day with steady breeze. This bird of prey was watching small birds moving below. It was constantly scanning the surrounding area.
Breast cancer death rates declined 40% from 1989
to 2019 among women. The progress is attributed
to improvements in early detection.
This picture is dedicated to all women in Flickr please auto explore and you can save your life!
I tried to approach stealthily, but even though I had some foliage between us, this song sparrow knew I was there. I find that there follows a short time that, unless I move on, the bird will. This was during that window.
Very very happy day and THANKS my friends.
(feeling a bit better......)

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.
Awareness of the wealth of your own natural surroundings and taking care of it!
Dedicated to Natasha because she loves bovines!
Background:
"Forget ME not" was created to raise awareness about M.E (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) - an extremely debilitating, life changing, complex chronic disease that has received shamefully low attention and fundings for research for decades. Patients are being disbelieved, misunderstood and dismissed. There is no treatment and no cure.
Over 20 million people across the globe are affected and in the aftermaths of COVID this number is quickly rising (many Long Covid patients end up being diagnosed with M.E).
During our events in May we will create awareness, break the stigma and fundraise for the "Open Medicine Foundation" who conduct research into M.E, Long Covid, Fibromyalgia and related chronic conditions. They are a registered, US based non-profit organization that has been around for over 10 years.
You can also support by wearing this blue ribbon exclusively made by Enewa, when you click the information box at the Forget ME Not sim.

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! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
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. ❤️😘
Maybe not everybody's cup of tea. But I was excited after I got home and found this image of the stag beetle on my SD-card. The largest insect of the Netherlands is not common. In fact I only found them a couple of times. This male with it's huge antler-like jaws looked tired after mating season was finished.
I hoped for a close up with shallow depth of field of the impressive jaws, and this is what I got.
Enjoy!

(I am aware of the repeating heads I only realised after I'd taken it and didn't want to go to the trouble to setting everything up to redo it)
The first figure (Same as in 1940) is an RAF airman, representing not only the bomber campaign over Germany but one of the most famous raids of the Second World War. The Dambusters raid in May 1943 attacked German dams in the Ruhr, a heavily industry area using a specially designed bomb. The flooding caused put factories out of action and stopped any water fueled power stations from generating electricity. The second figure represents the German army's retreat through Russia as the Russian army with new tactics and more men gain the upper hand. In July of 1943 Commonwealth and American forces landed at Sicily to begin the Italian campaign following after the African campaign. And finally is a French Resistance fighter, which represents the increased attacks on German communications, vehicles and men as the invasion of Europe drew closer.
Thanks for taking a look, would love to hear your comments as always. :)
I think it's always important to be vigilant of what you're doing and aware of your surroundings.
[Leona Lewis]
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.

October
O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
Tomorrow's wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.
The crows above the forest call;
Tomorrow they may form and go.
O hushed October morning mild,
Begin the hours of this day slow.
Make the day seem to us less brief.
Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
Beguile us in the way you know.
Release one leaf at break of day;
At noon release another leaf;
One from our trees, one far away.
Retard the sun with gentle mist;
Enchant the land with amethyst.
Slow, slow!
For the grapes' sake, if the were all,
Whose elaves already are burnt with frost,
Whose clustered fruit must else be lost—
For the grapes' sake along the all.
Robert Frost
