Hi dear Flickr friends, I have been missing you all, I want to visit your beautiful galleries soon ;)
I do hope you will all pardon my...sporadic appearances. Things have been rough since Lucy went ahead of us. I will not lie; I am absolutely shattered and devastated. As with Rem, Lucy's loss came on without warning (though not quite as suddenly, as Lu had been perfectly fine and full of sass the week before she began to decline, and until the day she did die, we honestly thought she was merely under the weather and would bounce back).
I really miss my dear little friend. She was with us for a long time, longer than any pet either of us had ever had—just shy of sixteen years—and for a small cat, Lucy really did have a big personality. The lack of her presence in the house has been very difficult over the past 6.5 weeks. We are still in the habit of not leaving water glasses around lest she knock them over; her 'placemat' where her bowl sat remains; the last box she enjoyed crashing out in remains in place; her snuggly pink blanket remains in its usual spot, with two of her favorite toys on it. The "only" thing missing is Lucy herself and it hurts wildly.
Strangely it only seems to be sinking into my thick skull now. I will never cuddle her again, or have her wake me with her purring at 3AM for a few pets, find her hopping onto my lap while I'm working or have her flopped out on the ironing board while I'm ironing or sewing. Never again will I bury my nose in her fur to inhale that marvellous fragrance of freshly mown hay she had, or race across the room to take a glass from her, or catch her eating Grant's food or drinking water from his bowl while he patiently stood by. She doesn't sit behind me on the sofa during Bible study or any reading time. She doesn't sleep atop my legs all night long any more.
It's really horrible and I miss her so much. It hurts a lot.
After Rem died, I continued sharing photos. That'll probably happen with Lu. I hope you don't mind. She was a big part of my life, a part now inexplicably missing, and a big chunk of my heart with her. Thank you for your patience. It has been a very rough eighteen months for me, and this was honestly just...the wrong kind of topper, despite how grateful I am for having so many years with Lu. Thanks, all. Some of you have been here with me for almost two decades and I appreciate it.
I took this photo during the Winter of 2013. I originally processed this photo and the result was uploaded to my 500px portfolio. However, one thing I really enjoy about photography is the fact that you're always learning new techniques to fine-tune your skill set.
I am currently going back through some of my old photos; studying them more carefully and seeing if I can make any improvements. The original image "The Boatshed" was a HDR image. This photo, is a single shot image. I feel this photo captures the mood a lot better. It was raining with fog and about 5 degrees when I took this photo. I remember waiting for a while until enough of the fog lifted to be able to just make out the base of Cradle Mountain in the center of the image.
Borders Buses (WCM) 11720, YY17 GTZ. ADL Enviro 200 / E20D. Seen here at rest on Stance 3, Stirling Street, Galashiels. Presumably company quality control at fault here, the front off side corner is missing it's blue relief.
This is a shot of a little lake in the State Game area of Lapeer, MI. With unusually warm weather, the fall colors are a tad late this year. The start of the reds are there in the distance, but here's to hoping the colors will take off in the next week!
Life is so strange
Destination unknown
When you don't know
Your destination
And something could change
It's unknown
And then you won't know
Destination unknown
I stumbled across this little gem while looking back through some photos from 2013 in the San Juan Islands. Love the simplicity, there's really not much going on in this one. Just gorgeous September light, glassy water and that beautiful big, black dorsal fin. Missing these guys, getting the itch to just book that return flight already!

Happy New Year to all my photography friends. This time last year Peter and I were in Venice. This is a multiple exposure to show how busy Venice can get. Olga
Sometimes, you don't even feel like doing the fun things...
Toby was feeling like that today when she picked up her jump rope... She's missing her Daddy and usual traveling companion (my DH), but also sad, that he is missing his Dad too.

My FIL passed away late this morning in Conn. DH has been gone for a week and I have been busy getting ready and making arrangements for animals and kids and all that goes along with times like this... I will be here sporadicly the next few days if at all...Just wanted to FYI, in case there are unanswered emails, FM's and the like, which I will get to as I can. Thanks everyone. xox
Dance With My Father...
Quietly rotting away on a side street. This one is a former taxi that's clearly seen a lot of damage judging by the many paint repairs and missing sections of wheel arch
Found next to the burial site of John the Apostle in Ephesus, Turkey, on a beautiful sunny day where turtles are actually making babies on the grave, one can feel that there is something missing. A basilica maybe. Maybe from the 6th century. 'Cause it used to be there...
Pacific National's 7106 leads loaded coal train UV03 on the northern missing link line at Norwich Park. 7133 and 7131 were in mid-train DPU capacity.
Fellow photographers at the Major Taylor Velodrome in Indianapolis, IN. I liked how the 3 cyclists are spaced and frame the photographers.
Missing Manila Bay,
Yes everyone, I do miss Manila bay, I have been there a lot of times when I was still working in Metro Manila, during most Sunday mornings, I love to stroll around CPP complex and walk until the end of bay walk, and when I still have the energy, I walked until I reaches neither north or south harbor. During most Friday nights, I love to hangout with friends in malate area and spend the whole hours in CPP grounds, until the next morning comes.
MMMmmm…………really miss those days.
Manila bay may not be a perfectly beautiful site to be, but its one of my favorite site to walk around.
The noise, the pollution, the people and the street foods, all of it are the things I miss to see.
The word "missing" came to mind as I considered posting this photo of me and Cristy......for several reasons.
First, our friend Katie was with us but she is missing from this edited photo. Sorry. She was not absent, lost, gone nor misplaced - just missing.
Second, I've been missing both friends since we gathered last year. Sad. In this case, I've felt a yearning, perhaps craving, to see them again.
Fortunately, any feelings of melancholy are overcome by the thought we'll be together again very soon.
Over the past two years, the importance of friends has an amplified presence in my life priorities.
You too?
