It's a small thing, but I've taken to reporting any #ads for #harrypotter content I see as #inappropriate as I don't support anything which funds #Transphobic #legislation & puts money into the pocket of a #billionaire #transphobe #transrights #humanrights

Will I find you in the light - #AbstractAug #faces #SelfPortait #AmbientLight #ShadowPlay #Poetry #Poem #Selfie #ArtisticPhotography #ArtisticPortrait #Poetry&Pictures #CreativeWriting
Self portrait of a brunette woman side profile facing to the left and compositionally placed in the left of the picture. The face is lit by ambient screen light and most of the face and head blend back into the shadows. I took this picture in 2007, a year after I lost my grandmother, on the first of her birthday's I lived without her. It was a remembrance picture and when I originally posted it on flickr I posted it with this poem: Will I find you in the light If I look will you see me? If I reach will you take my hand? If I turn away will you be broken? If I run will you find me? Written by Ruth Weal on 31 March 2007 Copyright 2007 Picture of the following poem: Will I find you in the light If I look will you see me? If I reach will you take my hand? If I turn away will you be broken? If I run will you find me? Written by Ruth Weal on 31 March 2007 Copyright 2007

#Throwback to my early 30s attending the #Officer #Ball with a friend who worked with the military. I got to live out my #LadyInRed moment when I was half the woman I am today, with far fewer grey hairs 😜 #RedWed #ColourADay

#Portrait #BallGown #RedDress #DressingUp #DressToImpress #Photography
Picture of Wealie (aka me) in a red rouched off the shoulder floor length pillar box red ball gown and sequined gold shawl on a red carpet next to a Gold Lion statue. Picture was taken outside of the Bulford Camp Officers Mess when I attended the Officer's ball with a salsa dancing friend who worked with the Military and liked to invite some of the salsa dancers to go to the balls with him to cut up the dancefloor! This was taken nearly twenty years ago when I was a lot more slender, had a fair fewer grey hairs and was in my early thirties.
