The following is another re-blog which has not appeared through the pressing of buttons, rather taking the original text and placing it here for your enjoyment. I do this when no re-blog button is seen on the original post and leave a link to the original blog so people can look into this ‘chosen one’ a little farther. This author’s blog is beyond the edges of wordpress, and is a cornucopia of information, games, fun, lists of interesting people who blog from all over the webosphere, odd films, the Cloud only knows what else, and well worth a visit. It can be found here – Blogdogit.com. And the original poem is here.

Many moments spent gazing upon the ground glass. Framing the scene.
Creating the view. Waiting for the ‘click’.
The click belonging not so much to the hardware shutter but rather
to the mind’s eye-opener.
That splended moment when all the elements within the box come together
in perfect balance (or awesome chaos.)
It’s a butterfly chase. It’s a lightning witness. It’s a eureka moment of grand discovery.
It’s a warm kiss on the cheek.
The photographers spirit.
First and last and always! That’s me, not the Sisters of Mercy album you once owned but have now disavowed as “bollocks” Is that right? Bollocks?
Anyway, thank you for the links to other blogs to check out besides my usual Red State.
Thanks
– The President and Founder

Yes, first to like and comment, well done that President! You are most welcome too, we on the Cloud like to spread the love round man (not in a sleazy seventies dodgy film way). The Jesus and Mary Chain perhaps, the Sisters, not so much. The Andrews Sisters yes, that’s more like it. The Brothers? All a bit ‘monkish’ for me.

Okay, I clicked on your links in the post and I got a 403 (?) error. I was told that I was “actively blocked” and should contact the webmaster at blogdogit.com for access. Huh?

Ooooh, yes, that happens to some people, it’s not meant to block you specifically, I’ll have a word and let him know, thank you for informing me, and for clicking through as well smiles

Sorry ’bout that Doobster – when you get that 403 it will tell you your IP address on the bottom of that screen. If you let me know the first dot set or two of that address I will gladly open the firewall to you and 200,000 of your closest friends! – BlogDogIt.com seems to be a feast for the hackers so the firewall is necessary to allow some bandwith for the good guys – Sonmicoud was kind enough to dance this little dance with me in the early days and I would be most grateful if you too would play along – I trust you will be glad you did – I know I will be glad if you did. Thanks 😀

So the first dot set or two: 71.198. Is that all you need, or do you need the entire IP address?

You are more than welcome, I enjoyed your writing, and I know you have a way with the quill when you fancy it laughs, I really do think you should write some more. Your comments on The President and Founder’s blog are works of art in themselves!
