To Blog……

…….or not to blog…that is the question.

I know I have been here before, wondering if I should continue to share my photos and random thoughts or just forget about it.  I also know that I should not allow the words of a single person, dictate to me, or anyone else for that matter, what is interesting and what is not,  what is quality and what is not.

I never really think about what I am going to write when I blog as I consider this more of a photo album than a diary. No one should judge me for this as I would not judge anyone for their style. So after a day of thought, anger, hurt…ok, a whole gamut of emotions, I have decided to keep doing what I have been doing and if you don’t like what I have to share, don’t look!!

  2. Well of course you should blog, silly. Your photos are lovely, and we're always interested in what you have to say. Listen to your friends; ignore random strangers. Some people just like to be mean. They suck; you don't. xoxox

  3. I'd be interested to see the comment. Bet it was a spammer or a bot.

    1. I know you know all about this...it's almost like there is self-proclaimed "expert blogger(s)" out there who just want to be mean!!!
      I normally shrugged this kind of crap off but some times it gets ya when you are feeling vulnerable and you over react!

  6. I just floated in here and don't profess to be a regular, but I just have to pipe up on this subject...

    This type of "thing" tends to come up from time to time.
    Idiots are best ignored.
    An internet connection and a keyboard don't necessarily equal intelligence.

    If what comes up on web page isn't to one's liking (like what someone has put on a blog, say?) there's that little "X" up in the corner. Click on it!

    That's all I got. Press on!

  7. I hope you continue to blog... your photos are great! And even more important... they are YOU... I don't know what happened, but don't let some idiot ruin your fun. Don't know where you're located, but hope you get a rose-breasted grosbeak so you can shoot it... with your camera, of course ;-)

  8. Robbie, I'm glad you have decided to carry on! I enjoy your blog very much! And I enjoy the friendship we have developed! I would be sad to loose you! My Mum always used to say, "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" People should heed that! One of my philosophies was, "I am who I am!"
    Onward and upward!
    Great Chick, by the way!

    1. Thanks Robin...I appreciate your kindness. My mom always said the same thing and I taught it to my boys. I like to think I have fairly thick skin but some time a pinch is a little more hurtful and hits the nerve.

  9. I just don't understand why anyone feels the need to criticize anyone else's blog. It's quite simple really -- you don't like a blog, don't read it.

  10. ...you have such fabulous bird photos here! It's the first time I've been to your blog, and I just perused through a bit. As my mom used to say when someone criticized or was mean..."they are probably just jealous!" :-)
