Good Afternoon, World!!! Today’s assignment is to take a cue from you my reader. I did this assignment a little differently this time around and found it quite helpful. This time around I used my statistics to take a cue from you my reader. I used them by looking at the stats for the day, week, month and year. I have found that blogging on the regular basis has helped increase my followers interest as well as blogging about different things. I also noticed that having Junior and Mama Bear posting brings people in to read. Another thing I noticed is when I post with pictures I get a lot more traffic. I quickly found out about the photos when I did the Developing Your Eye; One course and plan on taking the second course. Something else I have noticed is the tags I use. That is why I try to switch up my tags yet they appear to be the same ones or similar tags. So, it is my goal to switch up my tags to continue to interest my reader.
I guess what I am trying to say is that taking a cue from you my reader by looking at my stats and what I posted that day or week and so on. If I continue to look at my stats and see what keeps my reader, reading then I know what to write about.
Thank you for reading. It is appreciated. Peace Out, World!!!
Now the picture above is in the dark with the stuffed animal glowing and how its a pop of color. Its a toy that wasn’t around when I was a kid but if as an adult I love it, I’m sure I would have loved it as a child. Stuffed animals bring the little kid out in me.
The above picture is known as the UW Tower and is the tallest building in my neighborhood. It was the old Safeco Building and I still refer to it as such. The students at the University of Washington (UW) look at me strange when I call it that so I try to call it “The Tower” but old habits die hard sometimes.
The above picture is from my hotel room I stayed at while visiting family for the holidays. As you can see I had a white Christmas. I stayed in Olympia, Washington as mentioned which is the state capital. You can see tiny bit of it three quarters of the way up on the left. So the solitude part of this picture was when I walked around the lake while listening to the sounds around me. I went back to the hotel room and had hot chocolate while looking out the window to the scene that is pictured above.
The Big Lock full of boats waiting to continue on their journey from the Puget Sound to Lake Union on Memorial Day of 2017. The water is filling up to lake level as it was low tide in the Puget Sound. Shot is Looking toward the lake.
The above picture is that of my semi-colon tattoo. For those who are site impaired it has a black out line and filled in with purple. It is on my inner wrist. I got this tattoo as reminder on how far I have come in my recovery and on what NOT to do when things get tough. That is to self-harm and/or attempt suicide.
The above picture is that of a tattoo of a butterfly. Its a doily, lacey type looking butterfly that is black outlined and no color. It is on my upper arm/shoulder and the butterfly resembles hope for me. It reminds me that through the darkness the butterfly goes through as caterpillar there becomes a beautiful being of a butterfly. So it resembles beauty through the darkness and hope.
The above picture is taken from a hotel that I stay at from time to time in Bremerton, Washington. It’s just a ferry ride from Seattle. The hotel I stay at and the Bremerton ferry terminal are near the Bremerton Navy Base and Bremerton (Puget Sound) Shipyard. The picture above is of a sunrise over the Puget Sound. This picture brings me peace.
