I won’t see your smile

And I won’t hear you

Laugh anymore

Every night

I won’t see you

Walk through that door

‘Cause time wasn’t on

Your side

I’ll hold on to the memories baby

Note: 'Cathedral Grove is a rare and endangered remnant of an ancient Douglas fir ecosystem on Vancouver Island in British Columbia (BC), Canada. The biggest trees in the Grove are about 800 years old and measure 75 m (250 ft) in height and 9 m (29 ft) in circumference. They are the survivors of a forest fire that ravaged the area some 350 years ago and the even more devastating invasion by Europeans who colonized Vancouver Island from 1849 [...] Groves of ancient trees are today rare everywhere in the world. Visiting one is an inspiring experience. Cathedral Grove is a treasure of wild forest biodiversity that compares in value to European cathedrals.'

Es un crimen que dejaras que me pasara esto.Fuera de la mente, I love it, es fácil de complacer. No importa, olvídalo, sólo son recuerdos en una página dentro de un cuaderno de espiral.

Forget-me-not flowers

Such delicate and beautiful flowers.

Secret: I wish I could forget all the lies he told me, that I was his. All lies I can't forget.

I spotted this very tiny flower in the wetlands at Meadowbrook. I'll have to check my books but it looks like a Forget-me-not to me.

Tried to channel the shining? A little bit, I don't know.

I forget whether this is in the big church in the middle of Lincoln, or in Ely Cathedral.

Seen in our garden, these are my first of this flower this year.

The calling card of Minnie E. Sowers.

My grandfather fought in the Somme, aged 17. Fortunately for him, his wife to be, my mother to be, my brothers and me and our next generation, he survived when he was almost blown to pieces after being hit whilst carrying the ammunition for his unit on a charge out of his trench. He returned with steel plates in his head and steel pins all over his legs and lived to age 92 but never talked about it until he was dying in 1990. He remained a maddening right winger, working class Tory to the end. We can never forget what these generations went through in these wars and the futile but admirable losses which are still being experienced in wars since and in the present. This is one of many poppies which self seed in my Dad's garden in Southport and which I shot last summer.

This bright little blue flower could be the emblem of the NHS. As they all care and think of their patients - we all will never forget them.

I found out after talking to a park ranger that these forget me nots are invasive and not really wanted. They have plans to try and remove as many as they could. I seen em like this all over in the park. and for those of you still reading this the park ranger took my picnic basket

The Sandra Dunne Forget Me Not 5K fun run 2013 was held in Stapelstown Village, Donadea, Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland at 15:00 on May 19th 2013. The race was an event organised to honor the memory of local lady Sandra Dunne and to raise awareness of Cystic Fibrosis in order to raise much needed funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Unit at St Vincent's University Hospital. Sandra's journey in this life was made so much more difficult and ended so much shorter than she deserved with her diagnosis with Cystic Fibrosis. The esteem in which she was held was more than evident today with the superb community spirit and large turn out at this event - with the local community providing volunteers for tasks from time keeping to parking to stewarding to refreshments. The warmth, generosity, and community atmosphere at the race today stands as a fitting tribute to her memory. Congratulations must also to Mick Kane, Rosarii Byrne, and many others for making this race an outstanding success.

This photograph is part of a collection of photographs from the event: the start, finish, and general photographs of the day.

Overall Race Summary

Participants: There were over 300 adult participants who ran, jogged, and walked the 5KM course. There were about another 100 children who took part in the event.

Weather: A beautiful summer's afternoon with warm sunshine, little breeze, and clear skies.

Course: A lovely rural route where the 1st KM and the final KM are effectively shared and the remainder of the course is a left-handed loop on rural roads near Donadea Forest.

Can I use the photograph with the watermark?

Yes! Absolutely - you can post this photograph to your social networks, blogs, micro-blogging, etc.

How can I get a full resolution, no watermark, copy of these photographs?

All of the photographs here on this Flickr set have a visible watermark embedded in them. All of the photographs posted here on this Flickr set are available, free, at no cost, at full resolution WITHOUT watermark. We take these photographs as a hobby and as a contribution to the running community in Ireland. We do not know of any other photographers who operate such a policy. Our only "cost" is our request that if you are using these images: (1) on social media sites such as Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, Twitter,LinkedIn, Google+, etc or (2) other websites, web multimedia, commercial/promotional material that you provide a link back to our Flickr page to attribute us. This also extends the use of these images for Facebook profile pictures. In these cases please make a separate wall or blog post with a link to our Flickr page. If you do not know how this should be done for Facebook or other social media please email us and we will be happy to help suggest how to link to us.

Please email petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com with the links to the photographs you would like to obtain a full resolution copy of. We also ask race organisers, media, etc to ask for permission before use of our images for flyers, posters, etc. We reserve the right to refuse a request.

In summary please remember - all we ask is for you to link back to our Flickr set or Flickr pages. Taking the photographs and preparing them for online posting does take a significant effort. We are not posting photographs to Flickr for commercial reasons. If you really like what we do please spread the link around, send us an email, leave a comment beside the photographs, send us a Flickr email, etc.

If you would like to contribute something for your photograph(s)?

Some people offer payment for our photographs. We do not charge for these photographs. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that the photograph(s) you request are good enough that you would pay for their purchase from other photographic providers we would suggest that you can provide a donation to the St. Vincent’s Foundation as the fundraising body for St. Vincent’s Healthcare Group (St. Vincent’s University Hospital, St. Michael’s Hospital and St. Vincent’s Private Hospital). The role of the Foundation is to raise money from donors for Patient Care, Research and Education in Ireland. A link is provided above.

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.

Don't like your photograph here?

That's OK! We understand!

If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.

I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

I love this, even if I do say so myself. :o)

Just darkened highlights as I had ISO set to 800 (forgotten from yesterday - d'oh!)

This is in Haughton Lane, Shifnal, and while I was crouching down, the man who lives in the house opposite came over and had a chat. He was interested in what I was doing as he's actually planted most of the wild-flowers that pop up in this particular spot.
