        "content_html": "<p>My friend Richard died this morning in his sleep.</p>\n<p>Today’s pictures are dedicated to him. I took them yesterday—Richard’s last day, at least here on Earth. These pictures are for him. Richard may have commented on one or two of them on Flickr. I will miss that.</p>\n<p>I will never forget Richard. I did not know him for very long, but he was such an amazing human being—so kind, so talented. Richard was a husband, father, grandfather, teacher, artist, woodworker, photographer, and so much more—a wonderful photographer with a unique style. He had many art shows featuring his work, and I was lucky enough to see a few of them.</p>\n<p>We lived close to each other and consulted on projects from time to time. We texted and communicated on Flickr. Richard loved Flickr and had so many Flickr friends.</p>\n<p>You will be greatly missed, my friend. You made me a better human. You gave me so many creative ideas and inspired me.</p>\n<p>Wherever you are, my friend, take some pictures and send them to me&hellip;</p>\n<p>The last <a href=\"https://www.flickr.com/photos/cliff538/55251441319/in/dateposted-public/\">comment</a> from Richard on Flickr to me.</p>\n<p>Richards last <a href=\"https://www.flickr.com/photos/r-gross-arizona/55263352228/in/dateposted/\">photo</a> on Flickr.</p>\n<p>😔</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.uploads.micro.blog/194529/2026/c4f2a1d32c.jpg\" alt=\"Auto-generated description: A small bird perches on a branch, silhouetted against a blurred background of leaves and sky.\"><img src=\"https://cdn.uploads.micro.blog/194529/2026/4a088c4860.jpg\" alt=\"Auto-generated description: A hummingbird hovers near a red feeder with its wings gracefully extended.\"><img src=\"https://cdn.uploads.micro.blog/194529/2026/6f74c52642.jpg\" alt=\"Auto-generated description: A hummingbird is captured mid-flight with its wings blurred against a soft-focus background.\"><img src=\"https://cdn.uploads.micro.blog/194529/2026/75c000b14e.jpg\" alt=\"Auto-generated description: A control tower stands silhouetted against a sunset sky with two people walking in the foreground.\"><img src=\"https://cdn.uploads.micro.blog/194529/2026/a622f102f3.jpg\" alt=\"Auto-generated description: A close-up profile of a brown dog with focused eyes and floppy ears.\"><img src=\"https://cdn.uploads.micro.blog/194529/2026/b421737736.jpg\" alt=\"Auto-generated description: Silhouetted palm trees stand against a warm, orange sunset sky.\"></p>\n",
