Here's my spin off a card of Jennifer McGuire's when she used the Lattice Background then used distress markers for a watercolor effect. I used my Prismacolor Colored Pencils instead on dark blue card stock from Stampin Up! This took awhile to complete but I thought it came out good. Sentiment is also a HA stamp set then placed it Neenah Solar White CS along with die cut stars and added a few gems to the mix. This class has really been inspirational to look outside the box when it comes to viewing other crafters blogs. I found the inspiration from my US flag that hangs outside my house.

After all the night clubbing in Osaka (not much else to do to celebrate my birthday after midnight), we went back around 8.....reaching Flavio's place which is not exactly downtown. While we were looking forward to ending the day, we met people starting it. And, why on sunday these kids wore a school uniform.....I dare not know.

Devizes Westminster Canoe Race

This is a photograph from the start third annual running of the Renault Mullingar Half Marathon which was held on Friday 17th March 2017 St. Patrick's Day Lá Fhéile Pádraig 2017 in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland at 10:30. Following on from the incredible success of the first two years of the race this year the total numbers participating rose from just under 600 in 2015, 900 in 2016 to over 1200 in this year 2017. As was the case last year the nominated charity was Childline. The roots of the successs of the event last year was the perfect running weather, excellent organisation and a very flat and fast route. All of these characteristics were repeated this year.

Last year's weather was not repeated. Indeed the race could be described as a race of two halves in terms of weather. The first half participants had the strong, fresh westerly wind on their backs. However, turning for home along the Royal Canal this became a very strong headwind for 3 - 4 miles. Participants travelled from all over Ireland with a very large participation from runners around Mullingar and the midlands. The race has an AAI permit. The race's early start time was to facilitate the annual St. Patrick's Day parade which brings a large number of local visitors to the town on an annual basis. Parking is free in Mullingar town for the entire day. A small change to the course configuration seen the race cross the M4 Motorway at The Downs via a winding pedestrian footbridge.

The race began on Pearse Street/Austin Friar's Street in the town and proceeds North East out of the town to the N52 Delvin/Dundalk road towards Lough Sheever. The course then follows beautiful rural country roads out to The Downs at the M4. The only significant hill or rise on the course occurs here at about 7 miles when runners cross a pedestrian footbridge over the M4 near Junction 14 Thomas Flynn and Sons The Downs. The race then joins the now local access route of the old N4 road and then joins the Royal Canal at Great Down. The remainder of the race follows the Royal Canal back westward to Mullingar town. The towpath on the Canal is perfectly flat and in excellent condition. Runners will notice how the level of the canal changes dramatically along the route - at points the canal is level with the towpath. In other places the canal is at least 3 meters lower than the canal path. However the path is perfectly flat and firm the whole way. The course then leaves the Royal Canal at the Ardmore Road/Millmount area of the town and finishes in the Mullingar Town Park on Austin Friar's Street beside the Annebrook Hotel which is the Race Headquarters. The park provides a very nice setting for the finish of the race and runners and their families can mix and congregate around the finish area and the hotel.

Starting Gate

Start today is the appropriate message for a Monday morning and any morning really.

GORILLA BISCUITS - "Start Today"

Yesterday you were on my back just to get my time.

I guess it's not as precious as it seems.

Because I found the time for hanging out and talking on the phone.

What should I expect, now that my time is free and you're nowhere to be found.

Next time I'll try, for the first time in my life.

It won't pass me by. Procrastinate it can wait, I put it off.

LET'S START TODAY

My room's a mess and I can't get dressed.

I gotta be out by eight o'clock.

Deep inside I know the answer.

Well there's no time like the present and I'd like to hang out but who doesn't.

I've made enough mistakes for this lifetime.

Now I'm here to make amends.

Next time I'll try, for the first time in my life.

It won't pass me by. Procrastinate it can wait, I put it off.

START! STOP!

Eleven months later, on November 12, 2012, the Water Pressure Tank installation continued.

Here, all of the 1 inch fittings were laid out near their final locations to assess the correctness of this installation.

Starting at the upper left corner of the picture are two straight push-fittings for connecting the water meter, one copper elbow which was replaced with a push-fit elbow, a ball valve for turning the house water on and off, a copper elbow, a partially assembled Water Pressure Tank Manifold with straight push-fit fittings, a copper elbow, a push-fit one way valve (water flow to the house), a copper elbow, and a straight push-fit fitting.

See the next picture - Parts + Pipe Layout.

With this installation a hybrid pipe fitting method was used. The copper fittings were Nibco brand and the push-fittings were SharkBite brand (See SharkBite Global Headquarters: www.sharkbite.com/usa/) and Tectite brand (See Elkhart Products Corporation: www.elkhartproducts.com).

I'll be at The Main Line Art Center in Haverford PA this weekend for their Children's Book Fair. There will be several other lllustrators and writers there, including David Wiesner, Roger Roth, and Matt Phelan. I'm giving a 15-20 minute presentation at 1:30pm.

In addition, the above six race cars will be hanging in a gallery space, and will be for sale. Price to be determined.

So I'm back after the summer holidays ready to start a new term here on flickr. And what a start, "first" photo makes it to FP! Yay! Hope everyone have had a great summer, see y'all!

Hello there,

Teaching crafts from one town to another town really made me away from my craft desks. I was really longing to make something. I missed several HA occassions (I guess).

Here they are, a start again with stamping etc.

I adore these flower stamps of HA. Two stamps were bought last January in HA store in S'pore. The 2 newest stamps were the one Monika bought and I took them personally.

I made these tags for Biblemarkers for the Tuesday ladies who gather together to praise the Lord. I am the one who take care of this event every week. I am the youngest among these 43-73 year old ladies. This Easter, as the celebration will be on Tuesday, April 6, I will give each of them this tag. I just finished making 30 tags. There are one more flower from another brand stamp. So, for each stamp I made 6 pieces.

First, I embossed the end of the tag with CB machine. Then, covering the embossed part, I stamped Silhouette Grass with shadow ink. When it dried, the color of the ink was very subtle. I like that. Then, I stamped the flowers. I colored the flowers with different ZIG colors on each stamp, then mist with the water spray, then stamped. The more subtle flowers were from the repeated sprayed stamp. I like that technique.

The sentiment was printed from the computer font. "Selamat Paskah" means "Happy Easter".

Thanks for looking. And Happy Easter (not too late, I suppose..)

This is a photograph from the annual Ardagh Moydow Glen Community Games 5KM and 10 Mile road races, 5KM fun runs, walks and challenges which were held in the heritage village of Ardagh, Co. Longford, Ireland on Saturday 29th December 2018 at 13:00. This race has grown year on year since its first running a few years ago. This year seen one of the largest overall entries in the races.

We have an extensive set of photographs from the race start and the finish on our Flickr photostream set at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157703633931361

Timing and Event management was provided by Irish company PopupRaces - check their website at www.popuparces.ie

The 10 mile race takes in the local 'Ardagh Mountain' which is a 1 mile continuous climb starting at the 2.5 mile mark of the 10 mile race. There is, of course, then the reward of a long down-hill stretch after the summit. This forested hill or mountain was once a famous centre of pre-Christian religious worship and is believed to have been the home of a pre–christian diety named Midir (the God of the Underworld), and also a Prince of the "Tuatha De Dannan", the fairy people of Ireland. The hill or mountain itself is named after Brí, the daughter of Midhir and her doomed love, Leith who are reputed to be buried on the hill. The remainder of the race is challenging but fair, with some much smaller and less steep hills in the race profile. Miles 3 - 7 benefit from some downhill as the race route travels around the base of the hills. The roads are predominantly rural roads with little traffic. The 10 mile race finishes in the same finish as the 5KM race. Water stops and adequate stewarding at junctions is provided.

The 5KM race takes a loop around the heritage village of Ardagh. This allows runners, walkers and joggers of all ability to take part over a more manageable distance. Overall this is a very well organised race with accurate courses, good marshalling and traffic control and excellent after race refreshments. The 10 mile race is one of the longest road races held during the Christmas period anywhere in Ireland and has appeal to runners who want to add a longer distance race to their festive calendar of running.

The weather at this year's race was almost perfect for running. The rain managed to stay away and there was little or no breeze. Indeed conditions could be described as mild with temperatures of 11C. In 2014 there was very frosty icy weather and in 2015 participants were given a very very windy day with heavy rain at the finish of both races. The 2016 and 2017 event seen very suitable weather for road racing in late December.

Ardagh is probably County Longford's most picturesque village with many historical and architecturally important features. It is located about 6 miles from Longford town.

This is a photograph from the start of the Tullamore Harriers AC "Quinlan Cup" Half Marathon which was held on Saturday 26th August 2017 in Tullamore, Co. Offaly, Ireland at 11:00. This is the fifth year of the event. The race is organised and promoted by Tullamore Harriers AC. The race starts on the Charleville Road just outside the entrance to Tullamore Harriers. The race proceeds south along the R421 and onto the N52 before taking a route onto local back roads. The race then completes a large rural road route before it joins to the R421 again and the final 1.5 miles are the same as the first mile of the race. The runners enter Tullamore stadium and complete one lap of the tartan track before the finish line. The course is challenging in places with some undulations along the route. But overall it is fair course. 2013 seen the first year of the event as the club commemorated the 60th Anniversary of the formation of Tullamore Harriers AC which today is one of Ireland's best known athletics clubs.

We have a large set of photographs from the start and the finish of today's race on our Flickr Photostream: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157685695893933

The race was chip timed by MyRunResults - their website is www.myrunresults.com

The race was perfectly organised. The weather was good for racing but there was warm summer weather for the entire race which made for warmer than usual running conditions There were stewarts all along the route, 3 drink stations with bottled water, superb facilities, and great after-race refreshments. The stewards along the route provided great encouragement to all of the runners. Tullamore Harriers and the local community really worked together to make this is a wonderful event. There was also a relay option where teams of two can run approximately 10.5km each.

As mentioned above this race half marathon started in 2013 and celebrated the 60th Anniversary (a Diamond Anniversary) of the foundation of Tullamore Harriers AC. The club was formed in the town in November 1953. However, it was almost 1979 before facilities close to what we see today open in the present day site. Over 50 provincial and national athletics meetings are held at Tullamore Harriers every year. The facilities available combined with it's central geographical location joining routes from North, South, East, and West make it a very attractive venue. The half marathon today firmly brings competitive national road racing back to "The Harriers". The Quinlan Cup which will be awarded to the winning club team. For more than 40 years the Harriers Quinlan Cup was the most prestigious event on the road racing calendar. Having started as a cross-country race back in 1957, it became a road race in 1967 and remained so until 2000 when the race was last held. During its reign as a blue-ribband event the Quinlan Cup was won by the likes of John Treacy and Eamonn Coughlan.

Today, the facilities at Tullamore Harriers are the envy of many athletics clubs in Ireland. The facilities provided by Tullamore make it one of the premier venues for local and national level athletics in Ireland. There is an Olympic standard tartan track, a fully equipped gym, changing facilities, press and media facilities, meeting room spaces, etc. The club also provides a social center and niteclub which makes "The Harriers" a very well known on the local social scene. Esssentially, the town of Tullamore would be a different place if it weren't for the presence of Tullamore Harriers AC.

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!
