Yes, the man who said the iconic Star Wars line "It's A Trap!" in Return of the jedi has sadly passed away at the age of 93...Erik Bauersfeld not only voiced Admiral Ackbar in both Return of The Jedi and The Force Awakens, but also voiced Bib Fortuna. His work will always be remembered! Rest In Peace.

We could learn a lot from dogs.
Not the kind of things that make up a curriculum-
nothing that could be graded, or pass an exam,
but useful things.
How to be happy for no reason,
how to love without diffidence.
How to grab life and squeeze out all the best bits,
of whatever scrap you’ve been flung.

Kassanndra adopted Marnie (named for several horror characters), and Penny (named for Pennywise the Dancing Clown, the cool Tim Curry version), both older dogs, from a Chihuahua rescue.
Unlike the growling, nipping stereotype of this breed, Kassanndra's dogs have been sweet and loving, never yappy or aggressive, always, to everyone.
Kassanndra made me promise, more than once, that if anything happened to her, I would take good care of her dogs.
Marnie used to march around the yard like a big patrol dog making security rounds, but she was moving a little slowly for a couple of days. Still, she was eating, drinking, and irking Penny so I chalked it up to old age finally catching up with her.
She passed away sometime during the night, after she and Penny went to bed.
I'm sure Kassanndra is looking after her again, and has introduced her to her first Chihuahua, Ruby (also a rescue).
R.I.P. Marnie. You're a good girl.
I visited this beautiful city three weeks ago. Today I am overwhelmed by what has just happened. RIP to victims
Now its time for you to spring into the abyss. Give Madilyn an unsolicited kiss if you see her. Your pain is released and you're free.
After a two year battle with cancer Herman decided on Sunday morning that it was time to move on.
Although obnoxious with his disregard for social norms regarding peeing in the house, inappropriately long kisses, and sniffing the foster dogs' private business, he stayed my loyal co-pilot for the last 15 years --- welcoming hundreds of foster dogs and children through our home.
For a decade I couldn't walk anywhere around the home or yard without Herman shadowing. He spent hundreds of hours patiently resting at my feet while I edited photos.
I love you.
Was sad to hear that one of my friends from my days living in PA has passed away. Red Bourdon was a lot of fun to hang out with. Red and I were able to spend the day with the PL&W crew when they made their first freight run to the old P&LE Gateway yard in Struthers, Ohio on May 28, 1993. We had many other adventures together that often also included Joe Jack.. Red is on the left and Reno Davis is on the right as we are below the old hump and offices at the remains of Gateway Yard. RIP Red.
Sad News indeed.
Princess Leia died today, aged 60.
May she rest in peace.
I've found this vintage '77 figure of Princess Leia some time ago in my stash. Wanted to do something special with her, but not this kind of special.
"Ripper" a composite of a couple of my images and a couple of other elements.
This one started it's life as a simple composite for an example in some course material I'm putting together.
My daughter adopted Korman from a shelter 9 years ago. He was truly a gentle giant, loved by family and all who met him. He was Tracey's protector and companion while her husband John served tours of duty with the Marine Corps in Iraq and Afghanistan. Korman died peacefully today. He was 14.
Rest in peace Robert Himler. I didn't watch his vids much, but he seemed to be very involved with the car community.
This officially kicks off a new feature, my RIP album. It will be comprised of my photographic subjects that no longer exist. I never like seeing former subjects disappear but am always glad that I have a record of them.
This neon is one of my earliest posts to the Mick L FLICKR photostream and one of the few times that I knew in advance that the building would be demolished. This version of the P-Club ended forever although a much lesser club resurrected the name later at another location.
I took many outside shots over a few days, and the owner of the club kindly allowed me to photograph interior signs on closing night. I was also a long-time patron of the P-Club, which had some good entertainment at times and always offered excellent free popcorn. It was a major entertainment venue in its halcyon days and many hockey and football stars sometimes visited.
I put 10 photos of other some of the other P-Club pics plus other RIP subjects in the album (see below) and will add more with new posts through time.
Candles at the ready, folks! 56048 wheels MGR empties for Falkland Jn alongside the Firth of Forth at Culross. 8th November 1996. Amazing that this is now history.
I was saddened When I heard the news of Jane Goodall passing.
What a strong, intelligent, beautiful and brave woman she was.
I hadn't been to AWT in months. A very sad revelation for me about Rhi.
I stopped in to see if the look had changed again, since I last visited.
I used to visit the dance floor all the time, a very long time ago. An illness robbed me of my exact memories there. But I do remember the good feelings AWT brought me.
Very sad news...
Shot at A Woman's Touch
It's a sad day for lovers of vintage -- signs, buildings, etc. Covina Bowl closed today. I'm thankful I got some shots back in 2014 (I have close up shots of the sign but chose to post this photo to honour the entire location) but now I really wish I'd revisited it last year when we were out. Sigh.

Doing what he enjoyed the most, bird watching. RIP dear friend, you left your mark...

The evil that is Cancer strikes once again...as we had to put our Spanish rescue dog Monty down as we found out he was riddled with Cancer...he was only 9 years old and never let on he was ill until it was too late to save him which makes his loss doubly worse for us.
I've kept German Shepards, Border Collies and a host of other dogs in the past...but by a country mile, Monty was by far and away the most intelligent dog we've ever known...l'm sure in a previous life he was human, as he understood almost every word you spoke to him.
Sleep well my dear friend...you are sorely sorely missed ...hopefully l will see you soon RIP dear friend..
You were a brother to me my boy cant believe ur gone . I got ur name on me to remember u and u will never be forgotten SEL.. ERIE RIP
I tried several different solutions on the ripper and ended up with this one. Looks powerful enough and is also able to be raised and lowered.
Leaf Ripper - I was seeking an interesting wing shape (I'm keen on these!, e.g. Star-Ship) canted relative to the fuselage. I had fun with the rear engine cowl tying the design together.
The color scheme was lifted from the old Constructicons; this prevented use of locking hinges, as they're unavailable in lime.
This little baby died today of a crushed windpipe. He suffered all night and helpless me could only cry my eyes out. He had to be pulled out by the vet because hewas too large to fit through the birth canal.
I know the doctor saved the rest of the litter by doing this....I cant even see...because i'm crying....

Just a note...This is not a picture of a dead puppy....this was taken a few days before, and I thought he would be okay.
When Purple rain casts a weave of purple beauty
Just found out that Prince passed away age 57 today
The great Miles Davis thought that Prince was the cross between the great James Brown and Jimi Hendix
So I shot these flowers sprinkled by purple rain next to my home
