Don’t you worry
When you feel so lonely, cos
Everyone’s lonely
They’re all crazy too
Like their mothers
Like their fathers
Everyone’s crazy

Come read about life in Australia ….
because it’s still a “man’s world”
*gah*
I fear that you may be right! I will have to add that to my hit list too!
Hi, nice to meet you !
I love what you’ve done with your blog – WordPress has much more going for it than Vox, eh?!
It has been both liberating and re-energising to move to WordPress. I still have lots to learn but I am getting a real sense of achievement out of each new thing I find out!
I see I’ve found a kindred spirit. I like your poetic waxings and thank you for adding me to your blog roll. I was hoping you would have more on your about about. Hats off to you, too, vintage woman. I look forward to learning more about you and sharing whimsy when we chance upon on it.
I am an Australian baby boomer (a younger one) , a teacher of english and history, have been a librarian. Married with three adult children. Always right, must be obeyed!
What happened to your home page? I do not understand it? I see stummble it and all sorts of things, no pictures……I am confused. Can you help shed some light on your new setup? Thank you!
I love your blog’s images and attitude, so I’ve linked to it… bravo! RT
Thank you!
This has nothing to do with the “about” but I didn’t know where to ask: I adore the current header — did you draw that?
Dear FD,
My first visit to your site which I enjoyed tremendously. Yours is a light touch but with reflections of great insight. Look forward to updates.
Thank you for visiting my blog, Flamingo Dancer, and for adding me to your blogroll. I’m looking forward to exploring your blog, and I love your Quoted Stuff page!
Thanks also from Ruth Ostrow for visiting my blog and including me in your blogroll. What a sumptuous looking, sensuous, classy site. I wish mine had this sort of style. I look forward to reading you
Hi! I stumbled upon your blog while searching frantically for a half- remembered poem from school days which had the words ‘flamingo sunset’. Couldn’t find the poem but was glad to find your blog with all its poetry
Being in the medical field and having not expressed myself artistically for years, I frequently experience situations when I’m unable to find the right word to express what I’m thinking. However, I do agree that I should be persistent at improving the quality of my conversations and not “dumb down”! Loved your blog! It was so refreshing 
Thank you!

Just saw this National Geographic photo and had to share:

- Hi Margaret,I’ve just found your blog, and am incredibly glad you’re based in the US as my perfect (and now a very good friend) wedding photographer would have been given a run for her money.Your images are phenomenally beautiful and so deep and cutting. To see your words back this up as in this post shows true honesty, not just the ability to “create” it in your art. This is the kind of issue that so many people in this industry seem to struggle with, and yet it’s so hard to say it aloud when clients (past, present and future) may be watching. Yet if we (clients) think we can box up someone who’s producing effectively artwork for us, I think we’ve missed the point!Selecting a photographer who shoots the kind of images you want is ESSENTIAL – not selecting a photographer and then wanting them to conform to your ideas/views. That’s only going to cause disappointment (and Sara, this isn’t your battle, nor should it be fought in public).
because your crown is 2 heavy…:)
