These forget-me-nots have seeded themselves in my garden, blown in by the wind from somewhere. Which is really great, because my mum died of cancer last year, and the St Lukes memorial flower is a forget-me-not
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.

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
Elliot:
"Oh my tears are falling down as I try to forget
Her love was a joke from the day that we met
All of the words all of the men
All of my pain when I think back to when
Remember her hair as it shone in the sun
The smell of the bed when I knew what she'd done
Tell yourself over and over you won't ever need her again"
Lyrics by Jeff Buckley
Sometimes, out near the edges, it was even possible to forget the Wall was there. (It's just past the treeline)
I like this flower as well as its name.

You send me to a broken state
Where I can take the pain
Just long enough
That I am numb
That I just disappear
Taking a walk at night, Ioh wanders up to one of the high places in the city. He finds a bench and sits. Much of his time any more is about sitting around. He hates this. It is just so... boring. But more so, his mind is losing sight of why he has come to this city. The map he was given, it is either lost or he has left it back at..., somewhere. He cannot remember. And this annoys him too. He is forgetting much, now, the more he comes to the city, and the more that he finds little to nothing around to give sway to his memory of any purpose for why he is here.
Ioh sighs and and slumps into the bench and murrs. "What the hell am I doing here?"
His tail swishes now as he pushes forward from his back leaning upon the bench to sitting up, still slumped. Elbows rest on his knees as his hands come up to his face. They rub at the temple of his forehead and he closes his eyes and looks into the depths of the shades of black within his eyelids. The darkness seems welcoming. It feels like some voice or other is saying in his mind, Come to the Void, wecome the veil over you.
He murrs again and shakes his head. "I came here for a reason, but I can't remember why."
A sudden thought is that maybe he has come here to save some lover. But then he grumbles at that and snorts with a harumph.
"Fuck that. I've chased and tried to save enough loves in my life. It's a futile effort. There's no reward in love. None."
It is true. He has had more loves than Elizabeth Talor had in her entire lifetime, and only over the span of four years did he surpass the number of past loves that 'Cleopatra' had of husbands. It is no wonder he has a sense of the bitter sweetness with regards to love and the stupidity that comes with it. Love has just as many tragic heroes as war, and each following a similar destructive decorum that the poets so stupidly jabber on about as what sweetness it is to serve and die for love and for futile causes that are both swept away with the wind in the end. Is it any wonder a male, human or feline, is but an utter fool and pawn in both games?
Ioh just shakes his head then sighs again, "I'm a fool. I'm a damn fucking fool. Wandering around in this place for God knows what reason. Hell, the Devil may know less, and both laughing at me. The bloke I am. The idiot who has served well in a Chess game that means nothing more than my own torment. And for what? I don't know any more."
Through the ramblings and half musings of this tortured soul, Ioh seems to have a moment of clarity. He is almost certain that he was on to a sober truth in his life. But if anything did come to him, it passed by, and it is as if a light has flicked off, and the darkness surrounds him further.
Murring again, he says in that moment of disillumination in an anti-epiphany, "I don't know any more. I have forgotten...."
So go on and fight me
Go on and scare me to death
Tell me I asked for it
Tell me I'll never forget
You could give me anything but love
