Good-bye Blogging Buddy/ Her Comment Page The Best Page On The Internet/ Robin Easton Takes A Blogging Break/ Andrea Bocelli/ Time To Say Good-bye
, originally uploaded by Davidlind.
One of the great bloggers of our time has decided to take a break and move forward into the world of publishing and other activities. Robin Easton will be leaving us for awhile. Take a look at her blog at http://nakedineden.com/nakedinedenblog/ and look at the comments. She has a great number of readers who care deeply about her. We all wish her well and hope that she will return to us someday.
15 Time to Say Goodbye (Con Te Partirò)
Oftentimes when someone we know through the internet leaves us (for whatever reason) we do not have an opportunity to say good-bye. This is a problem. We leave ALL those whom we love or care about at some time. There are no other options. The only thing we can hope for is the opportunity to say good-bye. So “good-bye Robin”. . . you have been an inspiration to me. Your comments have helped me continue to blog in the face of general indifference for the most part. But, more importantly, you have shown me how it is possible to reach out to more than a few people in a meaningful way.
Good luck in the future and take care of yourself.

Butterflies In The Garden/ The Tops/ Reach Out
Last Friday I wrote a silly post and started feeling so good about life I decided to go out and take some photos. I took along my largest telephoto lens and headed for the butterfly exhibit at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens. This we have photographed before but not with this lens. I was hoping to get some shots of the smaller but equally beautiful creatures as they flew above the bushes far over our heads. You can judge how this experiment turned out for yourself.
I hope you will let me know because it’s difficult to be objective when you’re the one making the effort to photograph these flighty little beauties. They hardly ever stand still. Their lives are so short! Maybe that’s why they seem to be in a hurry.
Dedicated to Robin Easton who made it home in one piece (hopefully) from her week long adventure in the wild. Click on the music first and then the photo for the slide show.
