Red, white and blue- Photos

Art, prompts

Our royal poinciana, blooming with red/ orange flowers. In the background you can see white and grey clouds on the blue sky

Red, White & Blue – White signifies purity and innocence. Red, hardiness & valour, and Blue… signifies vigilance, perseverance & justice.

The colors chosen this month are in honor of The coronation of King Charles of England and Commonwealth.

Before independence, Pakistan was a part of India and a former colony of the British Empire. Being a former colony, we have no happy memories of the British rule over our country and its exploitation of the wealth of the subcontinent. Yet as a gesture of good will, I congratulate the British people on their new sovereign and hope that he does as good a job as his mother did.

I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.

  9. Beautiful photos, Sadje. I love the bright colors and sunshine back light to them.
    We are still part of the British Commonwealth here in Canada, s yes to all your honest points on the subject. And I share your well wishes for the new King’s wisdom in ruling and his success. Great sharing!

  23. I am no Royalist and certainly no Imperialist but I hope that Charles will contribute something new and yours is a very magnanimous gesture 💜

    1. Thanks a lot! I hope so too. It’s for the British people to decide the fate of monarchy in UK. We have lots of problems of our own in Pakistan

  25. Lovely to show support. I have only read a little on how the ‘Working Royals’ support their country… I did not watch the pagentry. And have only read snippits. One odd thing that struck me was that it was mostly American Entertainers that sang at the coronation party…
