I do like a stroll by the river, Paula. Did you link to Sonel? I’ve just come from there and didn’t see you? š
And wouldn’t you know it, Jake has confounded me with a late Sunday Post!

Hi Paula and Jo. I just got to Paula’s link and her comment … thanks hon. š
My comments are moderated so I can keep track of each and every comment posted otherwise I will get confused and I have tried the automatic comment posting but found it too difficult to keep track of all the comments as some of them are on different posts.
This side the internet is a bit slow this week, so it’s been difficult visiting blogs and even posting as it takes so long for everything to load, so I have quite a lot to go through.
Thanks again for your lovely entry Paula! It’s way gorgeous!!!! š *big hugs*

Hello Mayur š I removed the “likes” some time ago cause some people were abusing it ;). I prefer comments instead like this inspiring one I got from you. Thank you so much :). Have a great week! Paula

i didnt quiet understand by abusing mean how excatly. but never mind, I will keep in mind to drop a comment to ur post always. Hey, thats actually a good idea to get more comments for one’s blog!

Hello Mayur, I will explain myself .. when I said abusing I meant that many people were hitting the like button like crazy without even looking at the post just to attract the same meaningless traffic to their site. You would be surprised to hear how numerous they are. I appreciate comments way more. Any monkey can click a like button – so I removed it :D. I appreciate your coming here to give me your opinion :), and I am glad you have already understood the benefits of not having the “like” button š

not replying just for the sake to keep this conversation alive. But I got ur point, thanks Paula. In my case my site is still new and there’s not too much likes, forget about the comments. IMHO, I too feel comments are better. Blogs are actually meant for discussion, than just sharing.

What a great sky for capturing these images that day.
I believed that the music you would use would bring to mind the building of the bridges, and if not that then perhaps a simple stroll across one of the bridges.
The music ended up making me think of the bridges themselves, in their current state.
Not intending to over-think this, but too late… I did.
I hope that you’re doing well. Seems like you’ve had quite a summer. Do you believe that your life is as interesting as your pictures suggest? Just an honest question, because it really does seem like you live life to the fullest.

My dear Dinkerson, I would have a lot to tell you about my life :D. I am afraid you are right – I am that kind of a person :D. Thank you for everything. Reading you helps me to get to know you better. You are not a type of person that just clicks and puts nice in order to attract the traffic and visits to his site – this is one thing that makes you different from the crowd and the other is your takes :).
