Color Challenge!


In the land of the Toronto Blue Jays, this little birdy seems to be a cousin of the noisy Jaybird.

Edit: Main Image sourced from PixaBay -- with thanks. Pixabay is a great place for people to find free images -- I regularly include that wording in many of my posts, to help new people learn resources to use here.


Some Past Images:


Well, here I am holding rubber chickens, it is really one of my classic photos people like.

LOL.


I am still doing all I can to not just post flowers all the time!


Thanks for reading, have a nice day.


PixaBay has tons of free pictures for us all to use!!!

Hey @barrydutton
Woow that looks like some really professional photography!

We are currently looking for photographers and artists who would like to join our steemit project called Community Art.

Best wishes
@uniquecosmos

I did grab this from Pixabay and though it was generally noted in my post, it was not specifically noted but explained earlier in comments. I was AFK most of this weekend and out all day.

Thanks and have a good week.

Greetings @barrydutton !

We hope you had a good time. Oh we thought that you took the photos by yourself. Maybe you know someone that might fit into this project?

Sending best wishes from the future!
@uniquecosmos

I love how you managed to get popularity with such simple content.
It really is true that less is more sometimes!
Is that a

I have a lot of styles of posts, I do not think you have read down my blog very far LOL

I worked super hard spending hours on posts, developing content, templates, ideas and series and am way over 10,000 posts, likely closer to 12, 000 posts now.

I put in a lot of time and effort here for a long long long time!

Hi there. I didn’t mean to disrespect your work.
steemit doesn’t always work properly on my phone.
Keep up the good work.

I don't think I've been this disappointed with an individual in years. Ten posts a day. And the bottom of every single one of them says "I'll be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week". Wow. And now you're taking pictures from the internet and claiming them as your own, posting them in the color challenge?

I remember when you said something to me about friends turning their backs on you, and I wanted to give you a hug. And now I just feel conned. You called me sister, then when I tried to point out how you were hurting yourself with that charity post you unfollowed me. I notice that you don't have a single comment from anyone who isn't new, that's what you've done, lost all the real friends here you had. Now you just milk the bots of the kind souls who trusted you enough to put you on one. Shame on you man. And if you think I'm the only one whose noticed this, think again, what you have been doing was brought to my attention by a well-loved reputable person on steemit.

Down below you told someone you put thousands of hours into your posts...well all I had to do was type in Indigo and bird, and the photo you passed off as your own popped right up first thing. And speaking of responses to people, telling off 'spammers', talk about hypocrisy.Don't you also call yourself a Christian? I really wish for your sake you would do some soul searching.

Hey there

Someone is just OTW here to pick me up right now but if you look at the post footer, it actually states it's a Pixabay image there.

Normally if you read my posts and or see my stuff, it is most often things I am involved with, pictures of me or events I have been at, that is also pretty clear.

I also share the info on Pixabay in my posts in a templated sentence in most of my posts so new people can hear about Pixabay and learn where they can find free images if they need them for anything.

Indigo causes me a struggle at times to find in my personal picture archives etc.

You made it clear to me on my post to help Dian and in comments with others how very disappointed you are with me. That was spun by a handful of people against me, and no matter how much explaining I did, some of you just lobbied against me and there was no turning back.

But I am glad you are reading my posts. And hope this clarifies something for you as far as my posts.

I hope you are doing OK.

Barry, you said pixabay has free images for us to use under a different picture, you did not state the one you were using in the color challenge was from pixabay. Also, people complimented your professional photograph in the comments and you didn't correct them.

I'm not going to argue whether people were against you as far as that post. I can't speak for them, but I can speak for me, and I certainly wasn't. I was just hoping you would do the right thing.

Ten posts a day Barry. I would say it's time to change the bottom of your signature wouldn't you agree? And maybe reconsider using people's autovotes in this way.

I always said I would listen to you, and I have done that.

I also realize several people have not bothered with me, on here for a long time.

So I do not bother with them or make efforts anymore either.

When I joined here, I thought this was a blogging platform, so that is what I am doing.

If people want to vote for me, or interact with me, they can do so, as it is their voluntary right.

-- on this blogging platform.

I also know like you mentioned today in your first message people saw my post or sent it to you, etc etc......

What I also know is that once I know someone is not interested in my work, or me any more, I do not creep around their posts, not voting for them, taking a moment to check in or say hi or sending something I disagree with, to other people privately...... I kinda find it a little dramatic, maybe immature..... maybe creepy to some degree.

There is honestly a lot of other stuff on this platform that needs dealing with, and can use the attention IMHO.

That said, I hope you have a good week and so do the other people reading my posts or these comments, who do not interact with me.

People that take the time to get to know me or show interest in me, I share more of myself with, or what I am dealing with and the rest I don't bother them, and think the reciprocal end of that would be OK too.

Barry, you can dance around all of the relevant issues about your blog being brought to your attention and make very futile attempts to shame me or anyone else who has noticed what you're doing. It doesn't change facts.
Fact. You double posted twice a few days ago. Not just once, but twice within a matter of a few hours. And you did not correct either of them. Did not change the title to say "oops, repeat post" or something of that nature.. You just collected the money, twice..

Fact. You led people to believe that the photo for this challenge was your own. Your comment about pixabay which occurs under the autumn photo does nothing to dispel that belief. It does not say "The Photo used in this post was from pixabay". Again, you were complimented for your professional photo, because it is unclear that this is not your photo, and you did not correct them.
Fact. You vote so little on other people that your voting power is currently at 100%

Have a look at your steemd https://steemd.com/@barrydutton?page=2
Barry has only voted for Barry in pages. Do some scrolling. No amount of dodging can change facts Barry.

You went to someone's Twitter to give them a hard time about a vote on steemit. Now that is quite dramatic. And immature. You might have used that time to deal with something more important. Such as apologizing for your repeat posts and pledging the repeat money to a cause. Or updating the bottom of your posts to read: I will be posting ten blogs per day. I therefore have plenty of time to answer your comments. IMHO

Of course you would prefer that I not shed light on these things, which is how I am translating the last sentence of your response. The way you are handling this, is only making me wonder if I should expose this on a bigger level than just this one on one communication. I am currently wrestling with whether leaving your blog and letting this go is the right thing to do. You are not making the choice that you would prefer that I make very easy here. The one and only thing that is giving me pause, is a lingering sympathy for you.

Eventually though, even if I choose to let this be, it will all come out. Already it has become evident to a number of people, I'm sure it's just a matter of time before it becomes evident to the rest of your supporters. Once again I was truly hoping you could simply choose to do the right thing here.

6 months ago I would have said expose the cunt. But, that's all we have lately. Torches shined onto the ugliest parts of us. I know it may be difficult, but let it go. Wait till you next see an instance of exemplary human behaviour, and then post about that instead. Nothing you can do or say will change this man's actions, but sharing his actions with others may teach them how to also be an arsehole.

That is a stunning photo! The color on the bird is fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

I did grab this from Pixabay and though it was generally noted in my post, it was not specifically noted but explained earlier in comments. I was AFK most of this weekend and out all day.

Thanks and have a good week.
