Myosotis (/ˌmaɪəˈsoʊtɪs/ MY-ə-SOH-tiss is a genus of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae. The name comes from the Ancient Greek μυοσωτίς "mouse's ear", which the foliage is thought to resemble. In the Northern Hemisphere, they are colloquially known as forget-me-nots or scorpion grasses. Myosotis alpestris is the official flower of Alaska and Dalsland, Sweden.

The Hollow Forest is a great place for pics. Have fun everyone, but don't forget the Templum! I'll be posting more pics from that pool soon.
Here's your slurl: slurl.com/secondlife/Hollow forest/128/128/2
There are many items created by people we know and others we don't here. It's fab. SPECIAL special thanks to Amellier Spitteler for allowing us to visit this pretty place.
Once I had a little game
I liked to crawl back in my brain
I think you know the game I mean
I mean the game called 'Go Insane'
Now you should try this little game
Just close your eyes, forget your name
Forget the world, forget the people
And we'll erect a different steeple
This little game is fun to do
Just close your eyes, no way to lose
And I'm right there, I'm going too
Release control, we're breaking through

Thank you for taking the time to comment, award and/or critique my work, I truly appreciate each and every one!
I hope life is slowly returning to some level of freedom for you but don't forget to stay safe and stay well!
I will not be another flower, picked for my beauty and left to die.
I will be wild, difficult to find, and impossible to forget.

I created this image by overlaying a photo I took of a Hurricane, Lancaster and Spitfire plane, over a field of poppies to remember Armistice Day.
Armistice Day, later known as Remembrance Day in the Commonwealth and Veterans Day in the United States, is commemorated every year on 11 November to mark the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, at 5:45 am for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I, which took effect at eleven in the morning—the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918. But, according to Thomas R. Gowenlock, an intelligence officer with the U.S. First Division, shelling from both sides continued for the rest of the day, ending only at nightfall.
The armistice initially expired after a period of 36 days and had to be extended several times. A formal peace agreement was reached only when the Treaty of Versailles was signed the following year.
Remembrance Day Poppies are a symbol of respect and remembrance of those who died in World War I. This poppy flower meaning came about because the the field poppy, hardy yet delicate, was a common part of the landscape on the Western Front during the Great War. After being heavily bombed and scarred, the land did not lend itself to growing much. In his famous poem, “In Flanders Fields,” Canadian-born John McCrae wrote about this pretty red flower that grew over the graves of those who had given the ultimate sacrifice and that beautified the devastated countryside.

Trudging around Tiddesley Wood, Pershore, the other morning in the bitterly cold wind and frequent snow showers.
A few people stopped and asked what I was photographing, I can understand why, the trees have been stripped bare and there was little in the way of wildlife to bring any cheer to the bitterness, however this is exactly what I was looking to photograph. The winter mood and woodland.

A small blue and particularly pretty flower.
Thanks Anna www.flickr.com/photos/marlowpics/ for pointing out the name of these flowers.
Within the last few days this spray painted image has appeared on what was previously a blank wall on the side of a local pub.
As we approach the centenary of the Great War armistice, I cannot imagine many people would argue with the sentiments of this!
The management of the pub should be thanked for giving permission for the artwork to be carried out and the artist applauded for using his/her incredible talent and time on such a project!
