Although no higher authority restricts commercial enterprise on my blogger site, my own desire was to keep blogger non-profit and open a portal to a commercial site that is accessible from it, but not part of it.<br />But it means tending 2 sites.<br />With home-life and work-life priorities, blog-life takes a hit.<br />Your photography is first-class.<br />I'm glad you're continuing to expand it!Nina @Nature Remainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497835840395606549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21247637.post-34979334913294830562011-07-04T14:44:02.896-04:002011-07-04T14:44:02.896-04:00Thanks everyone, and to Nina especially. Although...Thanks everyone, and to Nina especially. Although I am not leaning towards an exit from blogging, I am leaning towards an ending of "The Ohio Nature Blog". As I have grown as a photographer, I just find the title of this site too restrictive for me going forward. <br /><br />Another real big reason for ending this blog, taking a break and then making a clean new start: This blog is loaded with posts and things from work. I can't ever monetize this blog, ever. That's fine, but as I grow as a photographer, it's something that I might want to at least have the option to do, and I just can't do that here. So there are lots of thoughts going through my head right now- I thank everyone for reading this blog over the past five years and I will keep you updated. <br /><br />TomTom Arbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01919759721690261620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21247637.post-58033810165097334982011-07-04T10:36:29.285-04:002011-07-04T10:36:29.285-04:00Beautiful!

A blog, well done (which...Please stay with it, Tom.<br />A blog, well done (which yours is!), is a TON of work. And I wrestle with the same question every so often.<br />But, if I have to look at it selfishly, weighing time I have invested versus what I get out of my own blog, although I'd like to think I do it for others' benefit, I always feel I get more than I give.<br />It forces me to better understand what I'm trying to explain, take the better picture, look a little harder for my subject.<br /><br />Would you miss it? Maybe not.<br />Would you have more time, if you weren't tied to the blog? Absolutely.<br />Would you drive yourself the same way, if not putting blog-worthy posts together? (for me, the answer here is "no.")<br />Would we miss you--YES.nina at Nature Remains.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07888238636692649668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21247637.post-41858902742774079902011-07-03T20:12:46.504-04:002011-07-03T20:12:46.504-04:00Oh wow, that is so beautiful!!
