Disturbing Images

We had it confirmed yesterday that our dear Flickr friend, Gérard had left us. I say confirmed because I had noticed he had not reappeared as he always did and the days of his absence were increasingly disturbing. I thought about him often of late...his loyalty, consistent presence and most of all his humor. He is the only one I've ever known who I could really hear laugh when he wrote "LOL."
It's funny how this medium can actually develop what can only be defined as real friendships when one anticipates and looks forward to daily interactions and comments. I recall the shock I felt when he informed us of his condition...and clearly recall also the shock he himself felt in just those few dramatic words. I eagerly awaited his return to Flickr from his treatments and, when he did, marveled at his spirit during this impossibly difficult time.
Gérard and I shared musical tastes and frequently exchanged YouTube links we thought appropriate to an image or an expressed thought. In many ways, we were on the same "wave length" and we discussed and mourned the losses in the musical arena this year. And now he has joined them. It has indeed been a year of loss.
So adieu, mon ami. You will be missed deeply by many, as myself, who have never met or even spoken to you...a tribute indeed. Oh, and I can tell that's you captured in this image by the white head...;-)
And one more link to carry you onward...
Looking rather haughty, in a pause between foraging and feeding on the slope below the Edge; in amongst the marsh grass and heather, and the dead remains of last year's bracken.
There was very little cover out in this open area where the birds were largely to be found, so I had to get down very low to get close and not disturb the birds. To all intents this is an uncropped image, with slight trimming at the edges. I originally went for a tighter crop on the bird, but I liked the wider perspective with the context and foreground, the bokeh from which creates a sort of vignette around the subject.
Thanks for your faves and comments.

This splendid image was taken from a hill of the Lingshan Park in Guandu Temple in Taipei City. After three years pandemic, the river cruise recovered their dinner sightseeing tour between Fisherman Wharf and Guandu Wharf on the Tamsui River. When she came back close to the pier in the evening, a firework show was performed for their happy guests.

Cats always seem to find the best seat in the house. Here, my girl Sasha is warm and comfy in a down vest left on the sofa.
CH IT Tobia (Italian Beauty Champion) in a zen moment on the snow!
He has a dense, curly, woolly and waterproof coat.
He is Lagotto Romagnolo breed, water dog.
This is the only breed of dog that is officially recognized as specialized in truffle hunting.
These two felt more comfortable in pink surroundings and the sweet aroma of the Lily, first class only for them:-)
got 10 shots of them.

Can you hear the silence in-between?
Can you feel the love that's always been
Listen it sings in everything
Can you hear the silence in-between?
Speaking with no sound
Treading on no ground
Love like an ocean
Resting in motion
Touching in no time
Seeing with no sign
Light bursts in waking
Dream forms in making
Sometimes the road you follow doesn't look like the right one. Never forget that after the dark sky the sun is in the end always shining.
