A Frustration, but What To Do?

by patricia emerson mitchellLeave a Comment on A Frustration, but What To Do?

I am taking a month-long break from social media. I posted a goodbye and people wrote to say they would really miss seeing my goodnight flowers.

But the flowers continue! They are here. They will continue to be here. I won’t stop posting them.

I realize some don’t like to visit websites, but if anyone wants to see the flowers it’s not difficult to come here. In addition it appears they will show up on my photography “page” on Facebook (I’ve yet to understand the difference between where the flowers used to appear and this new page bit, but there you go). If I set up this WordPress site correctly it is now supposed to auto-post to the page. I’m hoping.

So I’m frustrated and sorry that friends, and friends of friends, and even strangers, are saying they will no longer see my flowers. I wish I could convince them that it’s easy to visit here. A simple “follow” will send them the posts, in fact!

Here … have a dahlia for your time (and to apologize from my whining!) This is, as were the other two, from right across the street!

A Sunday Afternoon Dahlia

by patricia emerson mitchellLeave a Comment on A Sunday Afternoon Dahlia

When I’m done working on an image I usually export it to my desktop so I can post it sometime in the future. In case you haven’t noticed, these exports — the images you see here and on social media sites — are not of the highest quality, which I hope causes them to be “borrowed” (otherwise known as stolen) less frequently. I realize it can still happen.: it’s just the way it goes in our world. People just don’t like to pay for things any more. Funny how we all want to get paid for our own work, though.

Hm. How did I wind up writing about that?

Oh yes … explaining that what you see on the screen is not what you’d see if you purchased a print or a box of cards. I always print a much higher quality image. Even my cards are suitable for framing.

In case you wondered.

But enough of that. I am here to post a pink dahlia because I just noticed I have far too many of them on my desktop! So here is a pink dahlia for your Sunday afternoon … or whatever part of the day it is for you in your neck of the woods!
