so, here we are... december 31, 2008...
after having completed one photo each week with my girls and myself.
i'm actually having quite mixed emotions about reaching this point.
on the one hand, it's awfully nice not to *have* to take a photo each week.
on the other hand, it was a great challenge to decide which pictures to take, and then to actually get them taken.
and furthermore... i found that i loved doing it.
i loved trying to capture our lives weekly, to help remember some of our favorite moments.
back in january 2008, when i began with what were essentially snapshots, i thought that i'd surely be trying to take more "artistic" pictures in the weeks to come.
as time went on, however, i realized that, rather than taking posed, head-on, smiling pictures... or rather than taking super-artsy ones... what i most enjoyed was trying to capture our lives just as they were.
and so i set out to take pictures of whatever was most important to us that week. nearly every holiday is represented in this 52 week journey, but even more common are photos of whatever else was going on in our lives, from swimming to nail-painting to dressing up to making cookies.
looking back, i love seeing how ella and annie have grown over the course of the year.
i also love re-living all of our memories.
mostly, though, i love having so many pictures of us together -- it's sweet and lovely and gratifying to look and say, it was one helluva year... but through it all, we had a blast, and i love looking back and remembering.
on a side note... i'm also proud of myself for actually completing this 52 week challenge.
as someone who struggles daily with major ADHD, following through on things isn't exactly my strong suit. ;)
i'm (in)famous for getting an idea, starting out with gusto, overestimating what i can do, and then petering off to nothing.
but this time, i actually managed to do it, to take a photo every single week.
and, frankly, i'm proud of me for doing it. :)
i don't know what 2009 holds...
but if it has anywhere near as many joyful memories with ella and annie, i'll be one grateful and happy mama. :)
Complete. The Translator, Lab and Thought Scrambler have all been repaired and I would like to upgrade them to nicer versions if the opportunity should ever arise.
Random Marvel pulp, Compete War Novels No. 3, January 1943. Cover by Norm Saunders, art by Timely artist George Klein (aka George Roussos).
This is a photograph from the 6th annual running of the Meath Spring Half Marathon and 10KM Road Races and Fun Runs which were promoted and hosted by Bohermeen Athletic Club at Bohermeen, Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 12th of March 2017 at 11:00. The half marathon consists of a 11KM and 10KM repeated loop around the roads of Bohermeen and Oristown. The 10KM race just completes the 2nd part of the half marathon. The finish line is on the running track within Bohermeen Community Center. The course is a fast fair course with a few small hills. Last year the course was 'reversed' which just meant that the traditional course changed to accomodate the large number of participants and the narrow country roads on which both the race participants and race traffic must both share before, during and after the race. Most runners agreed that this made the course much faster as a result. There was almost a total of 1,000 participants in both races.
The other great variable in road racing - the weather - was dry, clear but rather windy. At several parts of the course there was a stiff headwind which made these sections that bit more difficult. Temperatures were around a seasonal 10C for this time in March in Ireland.
Bohermeen AC is steeped in Irish athletics history since 1927 and it is this experience and exceptional community spirit and volunteering which has made this event today so successful. Having now organised the event for six years running it is certain that the event will continue to grow and expand become one of the mainstays on the Irish athletic club road racing calendar for many years to come.
This race takes place about one month after the Bewley's 10 Mile Road Race in Trim (just down the road from Bohermeen). Indeed these races truly kick-start the whole road racing season of fixtures amongst the clubs in Meath who are now famous for the quality and standard of the road races staged and organised.
The race is supported by substantial local sponsorship from businesses in the local area. McNally Logistics and Transportation are the main sponsors of this year's event. The company specialises in national and international haulage.

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 http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
To celebrate the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare's birth, Guildhall Library hosted a complete reading of Shakespeare's Sonnets on 23rd April 2014. Over 60 readers participated in the day, including actor Damian Lewis, author Alan Hollinghurst, Lord Mayor of London Fiona Woolf, Lucinda Hawksley and cast members from Grassroots Shakespeare London’s 'Othello'.
Lots of parts laying around. You never take enough pictures as I eventually found out when I put it back together.
Been waiting for enough light to run outside and take this photo...I like the gray rocks with the gray in the quilt, pops that red.
That's it. No more of this stupid plan. I might collate it into an album or comic strip at some point, just to highlight how insane we are and how much effect we go to to prove we're racist :p
NORFOLK, Va. - Paul Thompson’s hat trick was the dagger Saturday night as the Albany Devils completed a weekend sweep over the Norfolk Admirals, 3-1, at Scope Arena.
Albany capitalized first on the power play at 9:41 of the first period after John Kurtz got called for interference. Raman Hrabarenka started the play below his own blue line by threading a pass to Mike Sislo at center ice. Sislo skated into the Norfolk zone up the left wall and dropped the puck back to the center point for an incoming Hrabarenka. The defenseman wristed the puck towards net, which Thompson deflected behind goaltender Ryan Faragher. The Admirals went into the first intermission down, 1-0.
The Devils doubled their lead early in the second period on another power play goal, this time with Matt Bailey in the box for tripping. Joe Whitney manned the point and sent the puck over to the left wall and Mike Sislo, who turned and swung a pass to Thompson on the goal line. Thompson took a stride to the bottom of the circle and threw the puck on goal, which beat Faragher at 3:12.
Albany’s two-goal lead only lasted about two minutes before Norfolk broke the shutout. Mark Fistric broke up an attempted Devils break-out play to corral the puck at the blue line. Antoine Laganiere picked it up and rimmed it all the way down the boards. Dave Steckel stopped the puck behind the cage and shoveled a pass up to Louis Leblanc, who backhanded it into the twine and cut the Devils’ advantage to 2-1 at 5:13 of the middle frame.
Thompson put the game away with 2:30 remaining. Brandon Montour blasted the puck on Scott Clemmensen, which took a big rebound back to the blue line. The Admirals’ defense was unable to keep it in, and Matt Lorito poked it out to a waiting Thompson. The right winger took off into the Admirals’ end all alone and wristed a shot through the legs of Faragher, giving Thompson a hat trick and Albany the 3-1 win.
Faragher made 16 saves on the 19 shots he faced, and Clemmensen saved 37 of Norfolk’s 38 opportunities. Norfolk was blanked on both of their power play attempts, while Albany went 2-for-5 on the man-advantage.
Red Weasel Media RWM was there to capture it all!
First attempt at making sushi at home and it was a complete success. I made three types: avocado and sesame seed, mixed vegetable (avocado carrot and cucumber) and Tomago (japanese ommelette). I cant believe how easy this was and how well they turned out! Served with miso soup and jasmine tea.
Ignore the gigantic eyes and eyelash-less lids! >.< This is her completed face-up though. Am pleased with it as it was my first try and I panicked at the size of her! ^_^

With a little careful adjustment the focusing is buttery-smooth! A great feature of using an acme screw rather than a traditional rack and pinion is that focus remains securely locked wherever you leave it. No additional knobs to tighten, just focus with the big knob and leave it - it will NOT move. There isn't even any backlash! Of course the drawer slides play a significant role in both the great extent and great stability of the focus movement. They do add some weight, but they sure work well.
Complete with the wing mirror for geographs sake. Taken at lights hanging out of window to cheer up jules
CN 7038 (GP9RM), leads a hopper and boxcar back to Gordon Yard on local 539, having just completed a round trip from Amherst, NS.
This was shot a few days back before I removed all vallisneria on the left and planted HM + Hydrocotyle. Thinking of doing a rescape sometime as I got bored with this setup.
These are photos from the backup camera, a G10, taken during a great but slightly traumatic week in July 2011. we were in the Lakes - or Wasdale - for five days. We had a week booked self catering at Irton Hall, in a converted workers cottage - and very nice it was. It was a bit of a trek to the nearest pub at Santon Bridge for tea but the weather was good. The problem was that the day we were due to leave we had a major break in at work. A dozen Romanians stole a large amount of copper from us. They hacked through a double skinned steel roof, bagged tonnes of copper and carried it off across the fields. Copper was worth around £6000 a tonne at the time. Anyway, after a days delay we decided to drive to the lakes on Monday afternoon and get some walking in. On the Tuesday morning we had a walk up Middle Fell, Haycock, Caw Fell, Seatallan and Buckbarrow planned. We were mopping fells up to complete the Wainwrights for a third time so it was a walk we had done a couple of times before.
Passing back over Haycock, retracing our steps to head for Seatallan I found a good spot for a sandwich on Gowder Crag. A stunning view over 2000 foot high. As I announced a stop, Jayne squealed, as she passed a protruding rock it had opened her knee like a knife.It was the first time we had suffered an accident in the hills, fortunately I have quite a bit of experience dealing with injuries like this, I carry first aid and I know what to expect in terms on victim reaction. Jayne was white as a sheet and close to passing out which would have been a disaster. She is prone to fainting but when she does she has a heart condition which causes her heart to stop and could be fatal. Initially I needed to reassure her, keep her calm, concentrate on breathing and told her that there would be no mountain rescue - we would be walking out. I remember saying "it's just a cut knee, you'll be fine in 20 minutes" - and she was! She came to, her colour returned, she had a cup of tea and paracetemol followed by a sandwich and she was ok to walk. I had taped the vee shaped wound, which was deep, as tightly as I dare. The nearest chemists was Seascale, I decided to drive to the West Cumbria Hospital 15 miles away.
The surgeon there was a mountain rescue volunteer so he was impressed with our self help and scrubbed the wound and stitched it up - drama over.
I thought that our walking was over for the week but fortunately I was wrong. The day after Jayne insisted she wasn't in pain and was OK to walk so we did!
On this walk we needed to walk out along the two tops that form the Wasdale Screes - Illgill Head and Whin Rigg, back to Burnmoor Tarn and then a tough pathless slog to Slight Side followed by a brilliant ridge walk to the summit of Sca Fell. We decended by Deep Gill, the West Wall Traverse and The bottom section of The Lords Rake. To the experienced this is an easy enough way down but it is still potentially a very dangerous place. You have a sense of danger, surrounded by towering buttresses, cold air hitting you from below and big drops just a few feet away. The first time I took Jayne this was nearly ten years previous and she was terrified - and then elated that she had done it. When you look back at the 600 foot rock face it looks impossible for the walker - not the climber - to be able to find a way up there. I first did it on my own - at the end of a hard route that I was following from a book. It was my first serious walk on my own away from the usual Helvellyn and Skiddaw stuff. I had walked with a couple of experienced walkers for a mile or so early in the day They asked where I was heading and they pointed to the 600 foot rock face of Sca Fell and traced an invisible route up it, talk about apprehension. I couldn't believe that a WALK could be meant to go up there - but it did - and I did!
