The ladies from MIJU Wools have created this post box topper in time for Remembrance Day, Friday 11 November. It shows the head and shoulders in khaki wool of a soldier surrounded by poppies and the words 'Lest We Forget'.
...there are several stories as to how the flower got its name. The story I like most is the one about the knight and his lady who were walking by a river. The knight reached down to pick some flowers for his lady but was pulled over by the weight of his armour into the river. As he was drowning he threw the posy to his loved one, crying out...Forget-Me-Not............
dont forget to breathe
Much of the current knowledge of memory has come from studying memory disorders. Loss of memory is known as amnesia. There are many sorts of amnesia, and by studying their different forms, it has become possible to observe apparent defects in individual sub-systems of the brain's memory systems, and thus hypothesize their function in the normally working brain. Other neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease can also affect memory and cognition. Hyperthymesia, or hyperthymesic syndrome, is a disorder which affects an individual's autobiographical memory, essentially meaning that they cannot forget small details that otherwise would not be stored.[10] Korsakoff's syndrome, also known as Korsakoff's psychosis, amnesic-confabulatory syndrome, is an organic brain disease that adversely affects memory.

We should have impeached George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, but history will show them to be war criminals, liars, and the worst president/vice president this country has ever had....you can quote me on that!!
Isola di San Servolo, Venezia.
Ex manicomio e casa di cura. i pazienti erano sia uomini che donne. Aperto sin dal '700 e chiuso nel 1992, ad oggi sede universitaria e di svariati eventi.
Qui rappresentate alcune degenti probabilmente dell'800.
La pequeña y modesta flor "no me olvides" tiene cinco pétalos y su centro pareciera un pentagrama resplandeciente de colores blanco y amarillo; generalmente es azul claro o blanco y crece en grupos, sus semillas pequeñitas son llevadas por el viento muy facil.
En el significado de las flores, la flor No Me Olvides,simboliza a la amistad y al amante eterno.
La flor “no me olvides” o Symbelminë es la que, según JRR Tolkien, crece sobre las tumbas de los reyes Rohirrin. Su descripción se encuentra en el capítulo 7 de" El Señor de los Anillos", "La Comunidad del Anillo", donde el autor compara la belleza de una reina elfica con estas flores.
♥Cuando Dios creó el mundo, dio nombre y color a todas las flores, no obstante una pequeña florecilla le suplicaba: ¡No me olvides!, ¡No me olvides!, pero como su voz era tan fina, Dios no alcanzaba a oírla, una vez que el creador finalizó toda su obra, pudo percatarse de esa pequeña voz, mas ya todos los nombres estaban dados, así que Dios le dijo:
"No tengo nombre para ti, pero te llamaras "no me olvides".
Y por colores te daré el azul del cielo y el rojo de la sangre".
Además le dijo que serviría para acompañar a los muertos
y para consolar a los vivos.
Sea cual sea su leyenda,me parece una flor hermosa,porque ¿Cuantas veces hemos deseado que no nos olviden?
Going on a walk the other day led me to gardens that were full to bursting with either Bluebells or Forget-me-nots.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
Fiquei uma semana com o Mossy e essa semana resolvi usar azul!
O Forget é o azul elétrico da marca, eu achei ele bem ralo, escorreu bastante e por isso usei camadas finas e fechei a cor na quarta camada.
Finalizei com tc da Cirque.
Revisiting some of my older images. Here is one from the Albuquerque Ballon Fiesta that means a great deal to me. No, we can never forget.

Here's a shot from a recent shoot. Really digged the flair from the street light above and the overall feel of this one. Super happy with how this one came out.
I'm back on flickr and this is one of many uploads to come.
It's all about following your dreams, following your passions. 3 years ago I made the decision to create with just a camera and a few lights - Here's to the Journey.
Un nouveau cycle de sorties extravéhiculaires (mon correcteur orthographique veut plutôt écrire « extraordinaires » et honnêtement ça n’aurait pas été faux) est sur le point de commencer. Cette fois-ci, Mark et Aki prendront place dans les scaphandres. Comme d'habitude, les vérifications sont de mise : il faut s'assurer que tout fonctionne bien et qu'ils leur vont. Ils l'ont déjà fait sur Terre, mais si vous vous rappelez bien, la colonne vertébrale s'allonge un peu un impesanteur, on grandit momentanément Et puis 2 précautions valent mieux qu'une ! Entrer et sortir de sa combinaison, une véritable armure, reste un moment délicat, peu importe l'expérience de l'astronaute 😆 Pour ces essais, c'est Megan qui était aux commandes des opérations 👨🚀🚀👩🚀
Another cycle of EVAs is set to begin, but this time I’m not in the spacesuit! Mark and Aki will head out the door. One important step is verifying that their suits fit and work properly (don’t forget, our spines lengthen and our bodies change a bit in weightlessness). Getting in and out of the US EMU suit is a team effort. In this case, Megan was running the show. 👨🚀🚀👩🚀

True Forget-me-not (Myosotis scorpioides) in macro close-up. (Canon EOS 50D + Sigma 105mm macro + Kenko DG for C/AF 36mm Extension Tube)
Lovely to see lots of Forget-me-nots blooming around Llanymynech Lime Kilns.
They have become a symbol very close to my heart these last six months. I wear a tiny Forget-me-not pin everywhere I go, in memory of our 22-year-old son, Alex, who was killed in September 2024 by a dangerous driver.
"Myosotis (/ˌmaɪ.əˈsoʊtɪs/;[2] from the Greek: μυοσωτίς "mouse's ear", after the leaf) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae. In the northern hemisphere they are commonly called forget-me-nots[3] or scorpion grasses. The common name "forget-me-not" was calqued from the German Vergissmeinnicht, and first used in English in 1398 AD via King Henry IV.[4] Similar names and variations are found in many languages.."
