Hi all. Just to let you know the sad news that unfortunately Rick passed away on 19th October 2023 after a 6 week stay in hospital. 2023 had been very hard for him and his health deteriorated a lot, culminating in him being registered housebound and unable to get out ~Graphing"! Thanks for making him feel part of this community and interacting with him... He loved it, and i hope his photos will continue to bring pleasure! Many thanks.
