I had no right to just walk out like I did. I have obligations to you, and I would like very much to come back...if you will have me.

Your comments broke my heart. You all are dear friends, and I love you.

This will be my final post to Flickr.

I began seriously studying photography 57 years ago, in 1955. I have done everything I set out to do with it, and then some. I have dearly loved being a photographer, and teaching photography.
I met a lot of good people here on Flickr, and some of you have become personal, close friends. Thank you for that.

May God bless you all.

They are inseparable, and go everywhere together like this. Shadow is her brother. He is a short hair. Fluffy is.....well, fluffy. They are seen here leaving their habitat by way of the bridge to the the valley garden area.

Note: Today is December 28, 2011, and Shadow has been missing for almost a month now. Fluffy wanders around by herself and I'm sure she misses him.

The Vietnamese people love music, and their recording artists are very important to them. Young Viet girls can only dream of one day when they can be famous, like this one.

Don't ask me to translate this album cover. Though I spoke fairly fluent Saigonese in the 60's, I have long forgotten all of it. This old mind doesn't do to good with English, much less a second language skill.

This may be of interest to you, though. The Vietnamese people practically worshiped Nat "King" Cole. When Cole died of lung cancer on February 15th, 1965. shop owners closed their shops and stores all over Saigon, and It was headline news in the Saigon Post.

Nat "King"Cole was also one of my favorites singers of all time. I was in high school when his songs were so popular on radio.

They try to tell us we're too young
Too young to really be in love
They say that love's a word
A word we've only heard
But can't begin to know the meaning of
And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all
And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all

Note: Cole was only 45 when he died. Seems to me a remarkable career so early in his life. Some of you old dudes like me will remember, we first heard of him in the "King Cole Trio". :-)
