Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend.  I have made some strides on fixing my computer issues and I figure if i spend the majority of my free time on the issues I should have at least one machine running good enough to get me back on the right track with the blog.  I know I have been rehashing old material and re-posting and I'm sorry for the lack of new material, I'm also in the process of scouting some locations for some new pictures, the problem I have with winter shots is that snow pretty much looks the same no matter where you take a picture of it, and I'm not going to post snowny tree pictures all winter.  At least things are coming together enough for me to get some stuff done and I really appreciate everyone's pateince while I deal with the move and the technilogical issues.  I promised myself that I wouldn't continue to do this blog if I was wasn't going to give 100% to it and it had crossed my mind a few times to just shut it done the last few weeks but when I go back and re-read some of my posts I remember just how much doing this and taking pictures has helped me improve not only who I am but also what I am.  I may only get through to half the people who used to read this and although that bothered me for a bit, I am over it and just happy that I have this place be creative and myself.  I promise to improve my rants and writings and to post new pictures soon.  I have never actually had a plan for this blog other than to share some of my photos and write some of my rants.  I started this blog over three years ago and as I have stated many times, this is more of a way for me to express my feelings and frustrations than anything else, I needed a way to open up and find a way to creatively channel my emotions and this blog has done just that.  I have developed a place where I can go and just let everything out and not care about how it makes me look or feel.  I have created my own personnel therapist who also allows me the courage to share some of my work so I don't think I can just shut this down like I do with all my other projects.  This blog and those of you who read it are my support and I need that right now, so I apologize again if this blog has become stagnant or boring, I am working on it and hope to be back to 100% soon enough.  Thank you all, without you guys I would have quit this long ago......................................PS: the picture is an older one.  It was on my first memory card and was one of the first shots I took with the selective color mode and one of the first bee pictures as well.  As most of you know, bees and flowers became my favorite subjects! Sorry for any errors as well, one of the problems with my computers is getting this program to run properly, which is why I am slowly, very slowly, working on getting my website done....................PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
