There's work, and there's work. Obviously, this is a photograph of the second type of work, done for the joy of doing something important and interesting that gives life a context and beauty. Beautiful shot, Rags!

thank you for sharing at my blog,i wrote a reply and pasted a copy here for your convenience:
thank you for sharing,Kanyi.I know you are going to be a wonderful husband.Some of my friends' husbands actually dont support their wives to stay at home because they do not want to bear the full responsibility of bringing home the bacon or that they want to maintain a certain standard of living.I understand what you are saying,many women have no choice but to work because they could be single parents or that they struggle to put bread on the table.But in my country,most have a choice.Its just the kind of lifestyle that one wants to live.Most people actually have the idea that the women who stay home have very rich husbands and do nothing but shop and eat all day.In a sense,those who are really poor wont be able to stay home,but there are some who stay home but are not rich at all.When i was a working mom,we used to be considered as 'middle income' family,now,we actually belong to the lower 50 percentile of the income group.Please do not misunderstand,i am not trying to over-glorify stay at home moms,but i feel a lot because while i am worrying myself to death about our financial situation and working part time to make ends meet,there are people who disapprove and criticize me for staying at home and not getting a 'regular' job and helping my husband to bear the financial burden.Let's just say we have different priorities.They tell me that staying at home is for women whose husbands earn pots of money.They do not give me any encouragement for making the sacrifice of giving up my job,recognition and feeling of worth tied to work, but they tell me that I am doing the stupidest thing on earth by staying at home. That i have got to be the perfect mother who takes good care of their children,makes sure they are well fed,well taken care of,to be the perfect wife who serves her husband head to toe,as well as the one who can also bring home the money.In Singapore,stay at home moms are marginalized and penalized for staying at home. Some are rich,true, but not all. Not all. But they just have different priorities and concerns from society,from the norm,and they have to pay quite a heavy price to be different.Thanks once again,for sharing,forgive my ranting here.:)
