a cool shot... but huh? :( don't go away, or don't stay away long... I really love your images! hug

Thanks for looking in on my uploads and for your comments and adding my images, no matter what the content as a favourite. Not everyone understands my humour, but you for one, did. I appreciate that more than you know. Take care, Mike. Until we meet again ... :)

Take a break if you need it ! See you when you're be back if I am still there ! Patricia

I know how you feel, sometimes I feel the same way but I come back pretty soon. take care and we will see you soon

Like the shot in black in white. I have never seen you make an improper comment. Please hurry back my friend !!!!

I have Never seen or read anything of yours that wouldn't pass the Walt Disney test. Just kidding because I do remember a nude. :O)

great mood and capture!! You are a beautiful person, kind and gracious. I like your work and your comments. So take your time and take care, I wait for you to get back!

Very beautiful image ,Mike !

It's always good to also make a break. Just before Christmas, now takes the stress permanently! I hope you have a good time and come back fresh blooms! Until then I wish you all the best! Great shot!

Have I missed something? I can't find anything wrong with what you do or say.

you will get withdrawal symptoms and will have to return.at least I hope you do

Wonderful capture Mike!! Hope You hurry back.

Wonderful shot and great pov! I have to agree with others, I've never seen you behave yourself in a way that wasn't polite and kind. I know you have your reasons, so I will just say, till we meet again. Soon I hope :)

I have been where you are my friend, so I know how you are feeling, but I do hope your break from us is short and that you will come back soon. I will miss you :-(

Well, I've never seen anything but kindness and wonderful art and photos, Mike! I'll miss you, and look forward to your return, my friend! Sometimes we just need a little break - hope you have a relaxing and refreshing break, bro! Just be back before Christmas - I might lose track of the shopping days! LOL!

There are a lot of moss on those branches Mike. Don't stay away that long that you are covered with moss. E-mail me if you like! Dana

I agree with the others. You have always been a gentleman approaching things with humor and creativity. But it is the holiday season and you probably have family affairs to attend to. Have a good time off and hopefully you will not be in hibernation until the spring.

Hey Mike, come back soon. None of my posts is complete without your kind and friendly comments. You are great, my friend and I'll miss you, so as your beautiful pictures.

Beautiful b/w capture – wish you a nice weekend!

Enjoy your time away, we'll be glad to see your return Mike!

I hope it was nothing I said. You have nice pictures

Only you know what is in your mind and the reasons you feel this way Mike, sorry to see you go, but i HOPE you will come back soon. As everyone has said Mike, this place would not be the same without the big old bear popping up. Your comments are always generous and your images be they photos or renders always bring a big smile to me. For that i say thanks. See ya soon

PS. 44 shopping days??? you're a bear, go hibernate! ;-D cy ...................... ?! :-D

your beautiful work and you will be misssed mike...pls return soon..HUgs*

I don't know what you mean. But I have never seen you say and unkind word. We all make mistakes, if you did say something I believe you already apologized and that should be good enough. Most folds wouldn't go as far as apologizing or admitting to a mistake. Besides, if you aren't here to tell me how many shopping days are left, what will I do?! ;-)

Great Autumn image Mike..and i hope to see you back soon..Take care..;)

I HOPE YOU WILL GET A HAPPY BREAK AND REST COME BACK SOON

Enjoy your self, Take care mike. Awesome Capture!

So sorry you are leaving us Mike, I love your gallery, and appreciate how you always support mine, let me know when you return. In the meantime take good care of yourself, hugs Jane xx

Like the rest I am lost by your wording, but I do understand the need for a mental holiday. Thanks for sharing all that you do! You will be missed.
