GoodbyeThis may be my last post here. I am in the process of finding a new site to display my photos on, which may take a while...& I could really benefit from some time away from putting sooo much effort into posting at the moment. When I can, I'll still reply to comments & visit everyone, though. You can also email me at: greenteaobsession@yahoo.com I'd love to hear from ya'll either way!

In the image above, we were standing in a long line outside of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History waiting to pass through security. We had been walking around at the Folklife Festival nearby when we were ordered to evacuate to one of the nearest buildings for protection against a major oncoming storm. While in line, this lady's skirt quickly caught my attention. Hence, I asked to photograph her & her son. She had previously made a peace sign with her hands for the photo, which her son immediately copied, but which ended up as a wave of some sort. :)

Hey Patty

How weird that something as non-concrete as a blog could make me sad to see it go! :( You're one of my favourite blogs to check out but can't wait for the website!

I thought you were still on vacation; I didn't check and write any comment because of extreme hard labour and tiredness. Now, I found out you are leaving. Well, not exactly.
I hope to see your new website soon.

Moving on, eh Patty *grin*? I hope you'll share your new photoblog address with us when you get it. For now, I'm glad you're taking time for what counts!

Imemine, :) I've been back for over 2 weeks. Don't ever feel bad about not commenting...I can't even keep up with everyone here very well, so I hardly expect everyone to keep up with me. I hope you're doing okay...& can get some rest & feel better.

Suresh, it's SO nice to hear from you! There is absolutely nothing to forgive...I completely understand. I can't wait to see more posts on your site. hugs!

Anna, oh yes, I'll definitely let everyone know what my new site is once I get it up & running. Sadly, it may take a month or more, but I could sure use a break from blogging to think about other important things in my life.

hi patty,

i hope you enjoyed your holiday and had time to relax. i like your new profile image, its very tranquil, much like 'break the stillness' and 'chimes', both of which are great.

i have really enjoyed your blog, its been fantastic. i keep running out of adjectives but the general thought is that is it fabulous and the photos are inspiring.

i'll miss your posting and look forward to seeing your new website!
feel free to drop me a few lines if you so please on iamnaughtbutclockwork@gmail.com

ciao!

Abhinav, i haven't had a great amount of time to truly relax, but yes, i have enjoyed some peace & quite here & there. :) i'll be sure to email ya sometime soon. thanks so much for the sweet comments!

Vathsan, :) hopefully you won't be waiting for long & i can get a website going in the next week or so. *crossing my fingers*

Jason, if you decide to switch to a new site, let me know-i'll definitely want to check it out!

you can use picasa webmail to upload and display your photos .. i use it and it's very cool. one uploads the pictures to google's server .. so no server space required .. and you can directly upload the pics from piacasa ..

look into it :)

Around when will the new site be ready, Patty ?
We're eager!!

Blogger Patty said...

Thank you, Nabeel, for the information. I will look into it when I can. & thanks for visiting!

Ash, :) hopefully soon. thanks! :)

Time sure goes by fast. I can hardly believe it's been 3 weeks since my last post. After 1 week of not posting anything, I suddenly felt pretty depressed that morning & realized I was missing the whole blog thing. I didn't feel bad for very long, but I still miss it. I may continue my abstract blog sometime in the future, but I'm not sure yet.

Today is my brother's birthday & I've just finished decorating things!
:D
