(don't get me started)<br /><br />I think your sister's epitaph is very touching and one I would be happy with myself<br /><br />I appreciate the birds and always up for a decent bird pic.<br />The music is good and often familiar to me.. <br /><br />So....<br />All good 'n all the best<br />PxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-53908766265616406252018-04-19T06:14:06.750-07:002018-04-19T06:14:06.750-07:00Bengt.

Thats enough for me to know that such a place is nothing for me. So I dont use it. Instagram I tried a couple of months, but there you get the strange image that everyone of the human species are curators and world travellers and artists and athletes, drinking exotic blends of coffee all day, or at least will be very soon. So I dropped out. Twitter is twitter and I can live without it. Facebook I never have been friends with. I have tried more than once and Im still a passive onlooker for a very small selection of groups but otherwise I just cant engage in it. Just like in these other platforms the self glorification and the in many cases so very obvious need to create an illusion that it is happening a lot in ones life, primarily for oneself, gives the Facebook life a sad sounding board. I guess a lot of creativity get lost in the process. But then Im a looner and I dont value high speed in itself so... I still like the really original people that keeps hanging out on Tumblr and I have discovered the potentialities that might will develop in Behance but otherwise G+ is where I feel at home. That is the only platform to my knowledge that for me gives what Im looking for when it comes to communicating in social media: People that are sharing things they have created or find worthwhile to communicate to others in a trustful, interested, curious and often very competent community with international profile. And as long as it doesnt take up time from things that in the end are more important in life I enjoy it. It gives a sense of visibility and shared experiences without having to jump onto the self promotion train.<br /> <br />As for your Facebook adventure, Robert, I admit honestly that I was about to delete you. You know how much I admire your photos and sympathize with your reflections and your general world view but you came like a bull into my very small Facebook stream and totally occupied it. I guess the last couple of weeks eight out of ten posts, and then I might count low, have been from you. And even though your posts were beautiful and often engaging it got to be too much, especially as they in some cases were almost to be considered like warehouses of pictures. It could be otherwise for others but for me that amount of posts, and especially depository stuff, fits better in other channels where I can go back, use search tools and so on than in a social media stream. I just cant keep the pace. I loose track of it. And that annoys me, gets me frustrated. So in the back of my mind I started to wonder why this guy that has so many wonderful things to show do it on the Facebook bandwagon, where people that have many more things in their stream than I have must be totally exhausted and just dont have the chance to take it all in. So I for one is happy with your decision to feature the blog, which I think is a better platform for the things you want to do and gives slow people like me a chance to follow you. Which is a delight.

Bye<br />Perfect for me, when half the people are only really FB friends (or associates) I joined LINKDN today to look for job opportunities, a mistake.

You deserve more recognition than you get on the blog. Way more. Way, way more. As a fan of your writing too, I’m happy you’re sticking with the blog. I don’t tire of the bird photos but I’m glad you aired some of your fab portraits too. Helen Killeen Bauch McHarguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042488205276127209noreply@blogger.com
