These Giant Redwoods (Sequoiadendron giganteum) were planted in the 1850's by the Marquis of Bath on part of the Longleat estate. They were among the first to be planted in the UK. These Redwoods were part of a 'Pineta': a grouping of specimen trees.
The Giant Redwood is remarkable. It is the largest single living organism on Earth and can live up to 4,000 years. The Redwoods at Longleat are only seedlings in comparison!
Meetings, the practical alternative to work.

From the days when both adults and children could dress up in fancy dress, some costumes had a theme others just a selection of the more odd unusual clothes from the back of the wardrobe.
How many photos will there be this Christmas where those of all ages can come together and look almost happy.
This is a photograph from the 3rd annual Fore Village 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held in the village of Fore, Castlepollard, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on June 25th 2014 at 20:00. Despite the very damp conditions almost 150 participants took part in the event. The course brought runners on a challenging but fair 5KM route starting in the village and going anti-clockwise towards the Castlepollard Oldcastle Road. This busy road section, the R195 was very well stewarded, and gave runners both up and downhill sections. The final 1KM was mainly downhill as the race finished at the car-park outside the beautiful and historic Fore Abbey. Fore Village is situated in a beautiful part of Westmeath and lies in a valley between several hills.
Race Director Ray Farrelly and Ballycomoyle GAA club must be congratulated on a very well organised event with every detail taken care of.

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!

This is looking toward the center up hill in our backyard. The lower from has Blue Danube Azaleas just budding with some Blue Lithadora. In front of the concrete is the fist pathway between the Blue Danue and the wall. Percy Wiseman Rhododendron, Bruce Brechtbill Rododendron and My My Rhododendron in bud, Blue Lithadora trailing down the hill wherever the sun reaches it. I want it to cover the railroad ties that help to hold the hill. Then as the lower plants age they will grow up to meet the Lithadora. It all takes time. I have planted Sword Ferns, Huckleberries, and woods plants such as the Trillium which I love! Also we have in the hillside bed the native Salal (which has to be trimmed) but it does help hold the hill along with the Sword Ferns and other native plants. My goal is to finish planting the hill with Rhodies, and Azaleas and then have a small water feature, along with an automatic sprinkler system. I really need one for all of this. Nearly 40 years ago, I met a man by the name of Paul Sceva that lived in Tacoma. He was instrumental in developing the first visiting areas at Mt. Rainier and had fascinating stories to tell. I was most interested in his personal hillside garden. The trail went back and forth across the top of the hill to the bottom of the gully. The trail was lined with Huckleberries and native plants, and I'm sure he had some of the Rhodies in there as well. I have never forgotten what a wonderful job he did with his hillside garden and trails. I hope to have one as nice as his was.
