A big part of blogging is not only posting, but reading, and commenting on, all of my favourite blogs. I apologise for not finding time for this. Work has been more hectic than ever and I admit to being a little addicted to Words with friends. I leave for work in the dark and get home the dark. It’s cold, I light the fire, we eat, we socialise, we watch the telly, we obsess with the internet.
Last week I travelled to Lakes Entrance for a course and managed to capture some pre-dawn photographs. It has been cold but very dry in Victoria this Winter. Some parts of Victoria need rain badly. I will add some of these pics for Max’s changing seasons.

Beautiful! I love night photography!
I totally understand your points about blogging. I haven’t had much time for such things lately either. I’ve started a new job in a kindergarden/pre-school and after work it’s house chores, socializing, guitar playing, visit the gym, watch some series, etc, etc…
Both blogging and photographing has been reduced to a minimum.
In my previous job I worked at an office and had plenty of time to visit blogs and even prepare blog posts during office hours.

Thank you Max. Well your challenge keeps me in this blogging show. Like you I play guitar and it has a prominence at the moment. All the other bloggers will keep on blogging whether we are there or not. But it is a nice community and I intend on keeping in touch.

Yes, the blogging world will definitely keep on blogging regardless if you and I post or not.
My guitar also has a prominence at the moment. I’ve been practicing a lot on one difficult (for me) finger picking tune, plus I have rediscovered a couple of my old songs that I haven’t played for years. I’ll upgrade them to better fit my current level – add some licks here and there, maybe add some fingerpicking, change some of the chords etc.
The last week I’ve been playing several hours each day (between 2-5 hours), just like I used to do. Playing guitar is so much fun and it doesn’t matter how good or bad you are: there’s always something new to learn and it’s still fun!

It seems that many of us are struggling with how time consuming blogging is while trying to “have a life”. Like you, I don’t want to give it up because I really enjoy the conversations, but at the same time, there is so much I want to do and should be doing instead.
