Taking a Break

When I began this blog late last December my intentions were to try and post a photo each day for a year.  Lately I've found that goal to be a chore instead of fun.  To those of you who have achieved that milestone I commend and congratulate you.


Instead of throttling back to posting every so often I've decided to step back and take a break.  This is only a temporary break to reflect and clear out the "fog".

Thank you to all of you who have visited here and for your kind comments.  I appreciate your support and enjoy following your blogs and learning from your photography.  Thank you, I hope to be back soon.

  4. Hi Mike,
    Trying to post one a day would get to be quite a chore. I can't do it. I have times when I have a lot to post and times when I have little...and the blog moves along accordingly. Will be thinking of you while you clear out the fog, and God Bless.

  6. I hope you enjoy your break... it became a chore for me too. And now, if I can't post or just don't feel like it - I don't - and I don't beat myself up for it. Your photos today - especially that top one - are beautiful! Love that fog you always seem to capture! Hope you rest well! You'll be missed!

    Thank you for your kind and encouraging comment. Now that I've missed a day I feel better already. :) I like your approach to posting - thank you!

  8. It's supposed to be fun; when it ceases to be that, it's probably time to back off. I no longer beat myself up if I miss a day or two - the world will keep turning without my post. Enjoy your break from blogging, but keep that camera clicking!

  12. Hi Mike - I hope to see you back soon. It can be so difficult to keep up the momentum of a daily blog. I have been out of civilization for a few weeks and it's very difficult to catch up and get that momentum back! I'm slowly trying to catch up, but admittedly, I have enjoyed a little break myself. I am leaving the NW on Saturday, and I hope to see some wonderful images from here when I am feeling homesick again. I'm hoping my return to the NW won't be too long a time. Take good care!
