Rock my sunset
I've been trying to find balance between flickr and life and have come to the conclusion that it's a very difficult thing to do. In the past, I'd been holding off on posting photos until I could return comments on photos that I've posted but that isn't realistic for me anymore. I joined flickr for a place to post my photos, not knowing about the social aspect of the group and recently found myself spending more time making comments rather than working on my photos and that isn't the reason I joined flickr, so I will be changing my way of flickring and not commenting as much when time doesn't allow it. This isn't to say I wont be looking (I always look at everyone's photos), or commenting (I will, as time allows) What it does mean, however, is that I will be putting the priority on taking photos and posting them, which is why I got (and pay for) flickr in the first place. Sure, it would be easy for me to copy and paste "great shot" as I've seen others do, but I won't do that because it doesn't mean very much, IMO. I'd rather receive ONE sincere comment, rather than a whole bunch of canned response any day :-)
If anyone doesn't understand where I'm coming from, I wont be offended if you choose not to comment or remove me as a contact, but it's something I need to do to find balance in my life. And I will still be looking as always because I very much enjoy seeing everyone's photos. But I can't always comment every day. There are only so many hours in the day and until we get the 36 hour day I've been requesting, this is the way it must be for me. I hope you all understand and I hope everyone is having a great weekend :-))

I just came home from shopping to find this image has made #1 in Explore. Can someone please come over and pick me up off of the floor? :-D Thanks SO much, everyone! Oh - and I have to add this ;-) :
