I have bitten my nails ever since nearly losing a finger at the age of 5 to a gust of wind and a front door. Ouch! Disgusting habit I know but I can sympathise with smokers.
This was to be my January 1st picture and new year resolution...again! (the snow was just too good). This time the Flickr world is watching. Update on 1st Feb.
....and no, it wasn't amber.
Now that I'm finally up to speed on my Project 365, I have the luxury of going through some of the pictures that I didn't choose for the project. So here's a couple of photographs from my recent stay at the Danish West Coast.
The is a photograph from the start of the 13th running of the Fields of Athenry 10KM took place on St. Stephen's Day, December 26th 2014 at 11:00 in Athenry, Co. Galway, Ireland. Just under 1,200 participants finished the race today under the Medieval Arch in the town. The weather was certainly not for the faint hearted. With temperatures of about 3C and a biting wind mixed with rain participants had to endure a very very cold race day morning. Heavy rain during the previous night had seen some flooding on the road between 6KM and 9KM. Regardless of this, as always, The Fields of Athenry Road Race rose to the challenge.
This is one of the leading 10KM road races in Ireland. It is hard to believe that the race is "only" thirteen years old. It's superb organisation, atmosphere, and great race history gives it the characteristic of a race that is many years older. The credit for this goes to the wonderful athletics club in Athenry AC and the Race Director for 2014 Frank Burke and his team of volunteers. The attention to every detail in the race which this year attracted over 1,200 participants means that the race has earned it's stripes as one of the leading road races in Ireland. This year the race coupled with Athenry Tidy Towns Committee. A contribution from the proceeds from this year's race will be made to support the work of the Tidy Town Committee.
The race started at the Railway station and then took in a loop of the famous fields of Athenry where it turns left and begins it's return to the town, passing the soccer club, over the railway lines, and finishing under the medival arch in Athenry town for a fittingly atmospheric finish to the race. Race HQ is in the Presentation College in Athenry. Post race showers, prize giving ceremony, and refreshments were provided in the College after the race.
We have a very extensive set of photographs from this year's event. The link to the full set of photographs on this Flickr photostream is here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157649881213766. There are some photographs of the race start and photographs of the race finish from the 1st across the line until the 50 minutes finish time. It just got too cold to continue at this point.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.

This amazing, tiny, non-biting midge has the tongue-tangling name of Coelotanypus concinnus. Colorado Springs, Colorado, July 4.
Elections 2015
Ideally I'd like to see much more red, and I'd be happy for more yellow and green. Less blue. And no purple.
Obviously blue Skittles don't exist so I had to have a play about... it almost worked!
Went to vote this evening and then called for a couple of ales as is election tradition. Will sit and wait for the results now. Eek!
This species of softshell turtle will definitely bite if you get too close! Missouri River near Vermillion, SD.
This is a nasty biting fly in our mountains biting brave Julie's hand yesterday! I believe it is in the family Tabanidae of Horse and Deer Flies, but it is not much larger than a house fly and its eyes are quite plain unlike many other Tabanids. I believe it is genus Apatolestes in the subfamily Pangoniinae, maybe the species Apatolestes hinei. I reckon it's OK to call it a Deer Fly even though it is not in the subfamily Chrysopsinae. Usually the Rocky Mountain Bite Flies (Symphoromyia, Rhagionidae) -- see this photo and this photo -- are the worst biters in our mountains, but lately I've been bothered more by these. HFDF!

Day 360 of 365 (Thursday) - I have forever had the rule that I don't buy my children ice cream at the park. It always arrives shortly before tea time, and I don't like that it is there everyday. With the recent hot weather, and continual pleas from my son I decided that as a surprise they can have one ice cream at the park per month, for the next three months. My son couldn't believe it when I told him, and he and his sister were over the moon! We were near the end of the queue and as we got nearer Mr Whippy started giving some people cheaper ice creams as the ice cream was overly soft. It looked like they wouldn't be able to try the Whippy one covered in baby marshmallows that they had been drooling after for so long. Fortunately we waited a little while and it worked enough for their ice creams, which they received with the advice not to run with them due to them being slightly too soft. My children carried them so carefully into the park, and not a drop was spilled!
Watching the other spectators was much more interesting (and not as depressing) as watching my team loose again yesterday...
Was playing around with a modifier I just bought off Craigslist, saw this shot in my head and decided to set it up.
My daughter actually could not sit up for very long on her own at the time so I'm actually right beside her just outside the frame. I framed the shot ahead of time just with the dolls, sat her down, got out of the frame and triggered the camera remotely.
