Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me...

To the meeting this is the case every day we lose friends, The next day we start searching for them again
Saying goodbye is always easier when you know you're going to see someone again but 2014 will only be a memory after tonight and there is some poignancy in that thought. Like every year, it had ups and downs but overall, there was much to be grateful for and there are many pleasant memories as well as pictures to go along with them. Thanks very much to the Flickr community for all the interest in my postings over 2014. I've learned much from seeing yours and look forward to 2015. Cheers!
Never Say Goodbye
Bon Jovi
Remember days of skipping school Racing cars and being cool With a six pack and the radio We didn't need no place to go
Remember at the prom that night You and me, we had a fight But the band they played our favorite song And I held you in my arms so strong
We danced so close, we danced so slow And I swore I'd never let you go, together, forever
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye You and me and my old friends, hoping it would never end Never say goodbye, never say goodbye Holdin' on, we got to try, holdin' on to never say goodbye
Taken a few months back with my good mate Anthony Ginman. This is a superb location in Sydney's South, and on this particular evening the sun was setting behind our cameras, lighting up the cloud nicely in front of us. Hope you like. Mike

I'm finishing my second cup of coffee on Friday morning; in less than an hour, I'll head for the zoo. I didn't go last weekend because I was sick, so my SD card is hungry!
I do not expect to see this Egyptian goose, the penguins, or many other birds, because of the avian flu in our area. They will be tucked away safely off-exhibit.
I've also received word from Elmwood Park Zoo, indicating that their eagles will, indeed, be moved to another location. That zoo's brand-new aviary will not have its grand opening soon.
As we humans hopefully emerge from a pandemic, the birds in our area are in the early stages of an epidemic of their own. Let's hope it doesn't last as long as ours!
# 101 ~365 Work with textures
Laguna Bay
Orlando, Florida, USA
January 3rd/2010
It was a very cold morning in January when we say goodbye to this place where we spent our vacation this year. This view is right next to the offices where we deliver the keys to our beautiful suite. You have to go home and maybe the photo expresses the sadness you feel when the fun ends.
But today, I am happy because with this texture I have reached 101 on my project 365.
I chose my favorite texture of the master Jerry Jones, I love his artwork and I admire and respect him for generosity in sharing his art for free who wants to use. I have come to pay money for other textures that almost never use and always, always go back to the textures of my favorite artist: SkeletalMess, who has my admiration and gratitude forever.

What an eventful year you've been. I was lost. I was bored. I was sad. I was feeling isolated. But you sent changes my way. So, I adapted. I flourished. And life was better once more.
However, you're not leaving me without regrets. There are things I should have done. People to whom I should've said goodbyes, or hellos. I will look back with sadness, but I'll try not to dwell. Because that's not who I am.
Here's to 2016. May you be just as exciting.
In August I had to say goodbye to my dearest cat. A malignant tumor - he had no chance for a longer life. I miss him very much and I'm still sad.

I never thought that 4 years after saying goodbye to my maternal grandmother, I would be doing the same for my mother. All I have of them now are memories like this and a double loss that still hurts too much.
My mother was the kindest person I knew, but life was not kind to her towards the end. Her 6 year battle against cancer wasn't easy and at 60 she was still too young to go. Kind, humble, hardworking and dedicated to her family, helping others was by far her main source of joy. When she became too ill to help others and needed help herself, she became depressed. I told her many times that she should think more about herself and less about others, that self-care was important too. Later I understood why those words made no sense to her. Caring for others was her way of taking care of herself, it was what made her happy, what gave her life purpose. Once she lost that, she lost her will to live.
Thank you for everything, mum. You will be missed.
It's nearly six. Sun gonna set again. You turn away from me and tears begin to come. And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you. I wish you could tell me, why do we always fight when I have to go? It seems a shame to leave you now. I long to kiss your tears away and give you back your smile. It's something that's inside of me, that is so hard to understand. Do you think if I were always here, our love would be the same?
This ends today’s photo series and with a sweet smile I wave goodbye to you. I hope that you like my pink satin dress just as much as I do, and if you do then surely there is a smile on your face too right now. Be well my friend and see you again soon.
I'll have to get up from the bed now and start my day, so that's it for this week my friend. With a happy smile this sweet pink girl says goodbye to you. Be well, keep smiling and see you again next week. 💋

Goodbye Salzburg, we weren't in your city for very long, but we felt the magic just the same.
As we left there were no fireworks this time, but seems to me a lot of people are enjoying this Fortress that sits above the city. Since it's been somewhat of a theme to end a series with a view of a castle, here it is as close in as I could get, while still maintaining a decent enough composition.
If you've been following along, this is of course the Hohensalzburg Castle with the Salzburg Castle just in front, which you can see the interior of here and here.
I'm now going to take you to one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and one you have already had a sneak peak at.
Please enjoy the view, and say goodbye to Salzburg with us.
If you haven't seen my set on Salzburg see all the shots here.
***By the way*** I think a few people have the misconception that I am traveling to these beautiful locations right now, but these are photos from my travels from July 2007 to August 2008, just to clarify. There's no way in hell I'd be able to travel like we did and still post shots on Flickr and comment on all my friends photostreams as I travelled. We were busy all the time seeing as much as we possible could in the time we had.
I only wish I was doing all this traveling at the moment, these times have come and gone and at the present time Laurie and I are home safe and sound back in Canada. Now I want to take all of you on a tour of what we saw, in no specific order. =)

I was more of a Superman and Batman fan. I never really got into Spiderman. But when the blockbuster Spiderman movie came out, a lot of people did get into Spiderman. And you know what? There have been a couple more of them since then. I'm still not very interested in this web-spinning, skyscraper-climbing, crime-fighting guy in the spider suit. But I am interested in something he said in the movie about him. Peter Parker is the bookish teenager who gets bitten by a radioactive spider one day and begins to discover that he has suddenly developed some amazing spiderish abilities. OK, I'm reporting this story; I didn't write it. It dawns on him that he can't just use these abilities for himself. He has to use them to make a difference. Here's what he says. I like this: "For me, living an ordinary life is no longer an option."
An ordinary guy who suddenly realizes that he has some extraordinary powers available to him, and who realizes he can't settle for ordinary anymore. Man, is that a picture of any man or woman in whom Jesus Christ lives! That's the Jesus who blew the doors off His grave on Easter morning, who has conquered death, the most powerful force on earth. The force that has stopped every man except one man. And the day you gave yourself to Him, He moved into your life to stay with all His resurrection power.

this is for a special friend who recently passed away and I will miss him a lot. He was here on Flickr, one of the reason why this place is what it is. Supporting, kind and loyal, he was a beautiful photographer and his words and care will be remembered with fondness.
I am so sorry and sad.
Light rain yesterday afternoon left it spotty, heavy rains last night washed it all away... until next time :)

Sad day today. Our senior boy, Pookie has been living with throat cancer for the past year. He's battled on & adapted as best he could, eating from my fingers & dunking half his head in the milk bowl to drink.....but overnight he began to struggle with his breathing as the tumour closed off his airway. We had to let the vet give him a peaceful way out.
He came thru our window 17 1/2 years ago as an unwanted young cat. He lived to be 18 years & 5 weeks old. He's been a great character, fiesty & laid back, both.
When younger he used to pal about with little Poppy & I called them 'Bonnie & Clyde' because they were always up to something together! www.flickr.com/photos/90302621@N06/14512204164/in/album-7...
This is the story of how he came to live with us: www.flickr.com/photos/90302621@N06/15168078827/in/album-7...
This photo is the final pic I took of him, last week. Happily dribbling on ted.
Goodbye Pookie, you will be much missed. XXX
The HFAC or Harris Fine Arts Center is being torn down at BYU to make way for a new performing arts center. The new building will be built on the site of the old one so first the old HFAC comes down. Lots of great memories inside.

hello everyone,
sasha is at the rainbow bridge right now,we have lost a part of us too soon today.I don't know how to write about grief because this is the worst thing that has happened to us both and i am not sure how to express myself here.
she has been ill the last few days and today she was put down and went to sleep..the vet came and gave her the injections so that she will not suffer much.She died in our home with us and not in some scary vet practice,so we thank our vet for coming all the way to our home for this.
we have done all we could for her not to suffer,the vet also said she wouldn't last a week with the condition she is in.
It feels surreal all this and we both have shed many tears for her.
She has had a wonderful life with us,i hope she remembers us up there,we both got sasha when michael and i started dating,when she was only 2 months old..so you can say she is like our child.
She lived with us in indonesia for a year,then we moved to germany and stayed there for three years,then we moved to england and stayed there for five years and now she has come back to her country of origin and died here..
we're collecting her remains in a few days because i don't want her to be buried in an awful place all alone and we are somewhere across the world..
i have kept myself very busy today,i cleaned the damn house,tidied everything,decluttered,put things away..anything to keep my mind off her departure.
she went very bravely and we kissed her goodbye...
i want to share this with all my friends here as you all have known here from since i started flickr...

Clouds and rain are forecast for the weekend, so enjoy the blue sky here. TGIF.

On Saturday 11th July, Plantsbrook School opened its doors to the public for an event celebrating the school building's rich past and its exciting future, where the school building will be demolished with an all-new school being gradually built in its place. Being a former pupil as well as a photographer/journalist sent to cover the event, I set about diligently capturing as much of the school on camera as possible. It's astounding to think that by 2017, everything in these photographs will be gone...
Well, I never thought it’d come to this... but I guess this is goodbye.
As basically everyone knows, Flickr will now be charging users to own/post more than 1,000 photos on their account, and that I includes me.
I really wish I could afford Flickr Pro, but I just can’t. I know it’s like 5 bucks a month, but being a poor college student, every single penny I earn goes towards something. Whether it be groceries, gas, or my AMC A-List subscription so I can afford to continue my passion of reviewing films.
I can’t even begin to express how much my life has changed because of Flickr. I started my account in the beginning 8th grade, which was six years ago, just because I was so inspired by some custom Lego minifigures I saw on Google images one day. Then as I started to share more and more of my creations, and got so much support from you guys and made connection I thought I’d never make in my life. Seriously, never did I ever think I’d have more than 700 FOLLOWERS. It may be small in the grand scheme of things, but it means a lot to me.
But most importantly, Flickr was the site that gave me the idea to start writing about movies. I started posting a few amateur movie review here and there and flash forward six years and now I’m enrolled in one of the top film schools in the US getting a degree in Film Studies so I can hopefully review movies for a living! None of this would’ve been possible if it weren’t for Flickr and all you guys, thank you so much for literally changing my life.
But my presence isn’t gone from the internet for good! There are other places you can find me and my content!
Letterboxd
Here’s where you can find all my film-related reviews and top tens. I’m definitely the most active on this website. I really encourage all of you to make an account and follow me there, it’s super fun for any fan of film!

You all know Twitter, I mostly just tweet about my thoughts on random shit as well as a meme or two. If you wanna talk movies or Nintendo with me, Twitter the best option.

Youtube
Here’s probably my least active account, the Youtube channel I’m apart of with two of my friends. Here I post short films and sketches that I directed as well as a podcast or two. We could really use the subscribers and views so please give it a look!
Link: www.youtube.com/channel/UCdViwlveHjbchGYC-qDEpYg/videos
I’d hate to lose all of you guys because of these I really hope you follow!
So no, if you follow me on any of these accounts, this isn’t the last you’ve seen from me! Maybe one day if Flickr ever stops charging accounts to upload more than 1,000 photos again I’ll return. But for now, goodbye Flickr. I’m so thankful for everything this site and all you guys have done for me, I just hate that it came to this...

I recently moved across the country, from my home in Seattle, to Louisiana.
I left behind my mom, dad, sisters, and even my best friend, all to be with him.
It took 3 months to fall in love with him, 6 months to meet him, and nearly a year to be with him. It was a painful (in more ways than one), yet determined long-distance relationship, and given the circumstances, my love for him is more than evident to those who have seen us.
I'm not usually one to share personal stories or experiences via the internet, but I guess this is an exception. Whether or not I'll regret it in the end has yet to be seen.

Some of you already know, but yes, I did meet my boyfriend over Xbox Live. Playing Halo 3. Enough said.
A day that I knew would unfortunately come. Our dearest Scamper passed away early on the morning of July 11th, 2012. I unfortunately was not with him when he went, but my mother had called me a few hours before, letting me know that she felt he was going. From what we know, he never suffered, nor was he in pain.. He just kind of drifted off, and knew it was his time to go. He passed in his home. My mother held his paw and he squeezed her hand a couple of times when he heard my voice over the phone. My mother talked to him all night, sang to him, and he even lifted his head to listen to her voice. His best kitty friend Mama Kitty bowed her head down, and he lifted his head to give her a kiss goodbye.
He was 20 years and about 4 months old when he went, which is such a long life in the cat world. He had the best life any cat could ever have, always happy, spoiled like a king, surrounded by a loving family. He never had any health problems, even in the end.. He just let nature take its course and slowly went to sleep. I am so thankful that he went without pain, and that it was in the comfort of his own home, it was more than I could ask for in a situation such as this.
I still remember the very moment that I first saw Scamper, when I was 3 years old. My dad found him in the woods, about two weeks old, abandoned and soaking wet. He brought him home for me, and when I walked in there he was in the bath tub, tiny and helpless. We fed him with an eye dropper, because he was unable to eat on his own, and he grew to be the most important part of our family. He's traveled across the country with us, moved from house to house, and has always been so playful and full of love.
It breaks my heart to have to write this, but I feel that Scamper deserves recognition. He was the most wonderful being I have ever encountered, he was (and always will be) my best friend. He is so beautiful, my little lion. It's still all so surreal and fresh, it doesn't quite seem real.. I still feel him with me. But I feel that he will always be with me. We are taking him to be cremated on Monday, and that is another obstacle that I know will break my heart all over again, saying our final goodbyes.
As the tears that seem to be non-stop roll down my face, I try to remember all of the happiness he brought to our lives. And I am just so thankful to have had him for the past 20 years of my life. I don't know life without him, but I will always keep him in my heart and he will live on forever with me <3. Every time I look in the mirror, I will think of him, as we have the same eyes, and not by any coincidence I am sure. He is a part of my soul and I am his <3.
Rest easy baby, we all love you more than words can express.
