Hope you folks aren't getting any of the smoke from the BC fires.

I missed you, I did try to find you when I switched from Muddy Boot Dreams to The Light Laughed, but there were no new posts so I though you had left for good. But I'm happy to see you back. Blogging, and photography is a journey, each of us has a different one to follow. There is nothing wrong with exploring, it just helps us grow. I don't think I've heard of micro-pay. Sounds like a real "pain" lol. Glad that you are now taking photos of things that inspire and fill you with love.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing more posts from you!<br /><br />JenRURAL https://www.blogger.com/profile/11871803235521431504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973482866469196811.post-36039491924869054312015-07-04T09:48:42.201-07:002015-07-04T09:48:42.201-07:00Thank you, Leaf!

Even with GPS, we got lost a lot, especially when we were trying to find a way to get back to the route the GPS wanted us on.

A big part of the pleasure is simply seeing something well presented that I'd otherwise not easily experience. Louise might be aware of some of these locations but I certainly am not. Well, I have been to the Cotswolds but we spent most of our time being lost.Leafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975144484521959078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973482866469196811.post-55597959452597591572015-07-02T09:38:08.615-07:002015-07-02T09:38:08.615-07:00Thank you so much, Donna!

I would suggest you keep taking your technically beautiful photos like the last one. They can sell right off your blog and not for micro-money! Yes, there are far too many "photographers" out there and many pros have suffered as a result. Take the photos for fun and watch good things happen. As far as blogging "popularity", no predictions on that, but it can come and you will get no reason why all of a sudden it does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973482866469196811.post-12935772770397743512015-06-28T18:29:10.206-07:002015-06-28T18:29:10.206-07:00Thanks Jason.

Sometimes I just need to kick myself in the head a few dozen times (did I mention that I'm pretty limber) to realize how much better not kicking myself feels.Emily Schillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00536524180642438952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973482866469196811.post-7165413524286247972015-06-27T13:11:44.657-07:002015-06-27T13:11:44.657-07:00To hell with technically perfect photos.
