ReplyDeleteOh I know what that's like. Guilt is not necessary. I'm just venturing out after a couple of weeks of non-activity myself. :)
ReplyDeletei've been pretty bad myself as of late...so it's a deal!
ReplyDeleteI love that your first comment is spam....
ReplyDeleteand no apologies necessary, sometimes I get in a I just want to read and not type mode.
I've just recently discovered your blog, being new to blogging myself. And I think you've been a really gracious responder. Sheesh! We comment a lot! You could spend your life commenting back, and then we wouldn't have your lovely photos and your unique words to brighten our days.
ReplyDeleteBut your apology just shows your spirit, which is why we like getting to know you better : )
This is so sweet, the best, most creative apology I've ever seen! :D (Thank you for your kind words...I appreciate it so very much.)
ReplyDeleteFor me, I comment when I want to and I don't keep track if someone comments on mine. Just not into that. I am just glad you are able to post regularly because your writing and you photos are special.
ReplyDeleteno worries as i'm behind on blog commenting too. waay behind. so take your time and when you're ready drop by. hope all else is well.
ReplyDeletethanks for this beautiful beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteCommenting isn't a requirement, I come here because I love your work and feel moved to comment! It's that easy!
comments not required, but visits are always welcome...sometimes I can just feel you, knowing you took a peek...just like I do at you, everyday!
ReplyDeleteI agree with deb...
ReplyDeleteso thanks for noticing~

ReplyDeleteOh gosh, life happens...we all know that, and we all love you. And that photo, it is like a dream, I want to walk into it and sit beneath that tree with a book and a glass of lemonade.
ReplyDeleteI love how you weave what you want to say around a picture -- I haven't read others comments, but I am sure that most - if not all - are telling you to be easy on yourself -- I think that we all go through seasons -- sometimes we are very present in the blogging world and sometimes we are more behind the scenes. Bu that is o.k. -- because there are so many of us we kinda take turns -- it is part of the flow of life -- at least that is my view of it : )
ReplyDeleteIts always a pleasure to come here and there is no need to feel guilty :) You are loved for showing up here every day and being you like nobody else can... and the days you show up elsewhere? They are sheer bonus!!
ReplyDeleteAwww, shucks... we can't all be perfect all of the time. It just hasn't been your turn lately.. LMBO
ReplyDeleteSee ya venturing around our blogs soon!
Di
no apology required. i just love stopping by here. it's a beautiful place in the world.
ReplyDeleteIt's no big deal, Beth, we all have time constraints and you've got so many followers, I don't know how you ever keep up. I got so behind during my 5 days in the hospital! I found one blog with 18 comments to which none I've responded. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteDeal! And no big deal. We all go through spurts like that (like when I'm at home on dial up and it takes eons just to load the page, must less go to the comment engine!) But I love to have you stop by and always look forward to your visit!
ReplyDeleteCome out from behind that building (and when you, show us some photos of what's back there!)
no apology required - life happens.
ReplyDeletealways a pleasure visiting here.
one love, my friend.
enjoy your long weekend.
Beth - you silly girl. I do this too. I hope everyone understands that sometimes it's just hard to say things, that sometimes you just need the comfort of knowing those other folks are still out there.
ReplyDeletexoxo

Oh Beth, not to worry. I visit blogs that I enjoy whether they comment on mine or not. Your blog is a feast for my eyes every time I'm here. No apology necessary.
ReplyDeletejj
PS Love your new fish!
Love the old out building.Please do not feel guilty and hide for not commenting on everyone's blog.I come here to see your great photo's and read your poetic writing. I fear if you spent time trying to comment on everyone's blog it would take away from your creative time.
ReplyDeleteI see you were visited again by the Asian spammer. So sorry! And guilt is such a waste of time. Sometimes I visit a blog and read the comments and decide that I don't have anything more to say than others have already said. Why be redundant?
ReplyDeleteNo excuses, but some days are just hard to get around to visit. Thanks for visiting me a little while ago. I hope it quieted (hushed) your soul.
ReplyDeleteI feel like that a lot, and I am a new reader.
ReplyDeleteSometimes blogging can be a lot of pressure, but it looks like you have a lot of friends and followers who love you.
My dear there is no need to apologize at all. I always feel your warmth and spirit no matter what. You are such an incredible soul!
ReplyDeleteYou know just being able to visit you is enough, your heart shows through in your photography and your writings. hugs.
ReplyDeleteOh I know the feeling... and that's ok. Thank you soooo much for the encouragement the other day- it is so very much appreciated! Happy Weekending! BTW- I am trying photoshop and am very frustrated...any suggestions of where to start? (like ther's an easy answer...lol)
ReplyDeletelooks like all these bloggy people just love you anyway... its an unconditional thing with some people. :)
ReplyDeleteYour posts lift us, so do your comments oftentimes, but who cares. Besides, it's summer... we're all in and out in the summer.
If you are stressing over commenting it's time to take a long blogging break!!! haha.
I love your style of photography.
ReplyDeleteStop by and visit.
Dove
I know how completely difficult it is to keep up with commenting even on the few blogs that I do...so no apologies needed here! Stop by when you get a chance and comment only if you have time:)
ReplyDeleteOh sweet lady I can tell you're there. No matter were you hide. Thanks for this one, love the shed. Hugs D.
ReplyDeletePlease, no guilt about coming or not coming to my blog. I come here because I love ya and want to see what you're up to.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine visiting everyone that leaves a comment. I just am not able to do so.
