L.V. - The Last Post

Posted by Michael Rawluk (Williams Lake, BC, Canada) on 30 October 2007 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

This is dedicated to a friend who needed to give up blogging for now.
Life has stepped into the path of Lost Valley Views. I am going to miss those posts.
Isn't it strange how a person you have never met can become a big part of your life? Blogging might seem like an idle activity but the people you contact around the world become very important.

We will miss your art, L.V..

I appreciate your comments and constructive criticism.
I also have blogs at:
Desperate Images and Existential Existence
All Images are Copyright ©Michael Rawluk. Just thought I would say that although why anyone would want to use them is beyond me. Well, Colette Amelia does on occasion but she always gives me a kiss after. So, if you want to use an image ... we can work something out ;-)

Yeah, I've dedicated my post for tomorrow to LV... it's so sad to see her go. And you are so right about how we bond with people we've never met.

Oh how incredibly sweet and kind of you to post this for LV...I am very saddened by her departure, I always loved to stop by and see what she posted and loved it when she dropped by my blog. It is so true that we are all so close, yet most of us have never met or even heard eachothers voices.
Lovely image...

LOST VALLEY from Kamloops, Canada

WOW!!! I am sooo touched beyond words! This is incredible!! First off to all of you I will drop by to say hello as my day/life permits. It sure was hard today- I missed this community so very much!! Secondly, this is a fantastic image and in tribute to me? Whoa I really am not worthy!! Funny thing is I almost took the same image last week!! How cool is that?

You have no idea how talented and gifted you all are! You all deserve the highest of praises :-)

Thank-you again for such a beautiful tribute and for thinking of me...I am so touched!!!!

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States

I totally agree; thank you Michael for posting this stunning and perfect tribute to LV. I'm going to miss her a lot around these parts. If you're reading this LV, please know how many lives you've touched with your friendship and your beautiful images. You're gone from here, but in addition I'm sad that your blog is already gone too, and we can't re-visit some of those great photos you posted before.

@Viewfinder: I was like you. Slipped onto her site but it was already gone.

Wonderful tribute, I will so miss LV's photos, they were a bright spot in my day and I don't think she realizes how talented she is and how much joy here photos brought others.......We'll miss you!

@Rebecca: Rebecca, thank you and everyone else who left a comment. LV will be missed in the blogging community. Maybe she will have the opportunity to get back to it in the future.
