Skywatch Friday With Green
Project Green: Take Five

I've been doing a Project Green with Anna where we are sharing photos with a green theme which started Monday. Monday afternoon I was sitting in the mall parking lot and gazing at the sky in front of me with new green growth on the trees in my eyesight. The clouds were white and puffy. I thought to myself it would make a perfect photo to combine Skywatch and Project Green. When I downloaded my photos imagine my surprise to see ole' green Shrek himself like he was standing there, his head laid back and his hands arms reaching up looking up at the clouds!
I hope you see him too. If not, well then maybe it's all that champagne I drank yesterday celebrating my 100th post!!!

Earlier in the week I completed Project Looking Through with Mark; but I had this remaining photo that I thought I would share with you as well. It fits Skywatch and Project Green!!!

    Fabulous catch! The earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books. mine's up too, hope you'll visit mine.

    Great sky but I do wish you wouldn't play the music automatically.

    It isn't that I don't like Kermit the Frog - I just don't want it suddenly bursting into life. Having the option to turn it ON is far preferable.

    Hi Carletta

    Back at mine you said

    I felt I should explain that my music is part of my post. I usually don't play random songs, but something that I have chosen that ties in with the theme of my post for that day. For instance, the Kermit song because of the project I was doing - Project Green; Tiny Bubbles because of a champagne celebration; and so on. My music is usually fairly quiet with soft melodies. It is part of my artistic endeavor to match melodies with the words I've written for a complete experience. That is why it automatically plays. It is me! It is what makes my blog different from others.
    I saw your note above your links stating you no longer link to blogs with automatic music. That is certainly your choice. I pause music I don't care for because some blogs I read have wonderful things to say or see and I wouldn't want to miss them because of their music choice.
    I'm sorry you didn't like your experience at my blog; but I appreciate your visit anyway.

    Well I appreciate that the music may be important to the post, but it is possible to put a link at the beginning of the post allowing the reader to turn it ON. That way it doesn't come blasting out at them - some people (me) like to surf quietly; others surf in rooms where there are other people and a sudden surge disturbs.

    I often listen to music or play videos on blogs where it is part of the post, so long as I can just turn it on.

    And from a programming point of view it is relatively simple to let your readers turn the sound ON rather then have them reach for the MUTE or Pause button or adjust their volume level.

    Apart from this I like your blog - if I didn't I wouldn't have made any comment at all.

    Best wishes - my family are shouting for their tea - gottago.

    Hi! again Carletta
    I said I'd call back with fresh eyes.. and a rested head. I think I can see what you mean but I think it looks more like Fuzzy Bear... but thats your fault because since you put Kermit on I have been playing the muppets on you tube all week.
    Thanks for being out there, and thanks for the fun.

    I'll drink to what next week brings now .:o)
