Am I the only blogger who didn't know that you could sign up for email alerts when someone leaves a comment on your blog? I've been keeping a running tally on a piece of paper for the last 6 months (thanks for cluing me in on this Laura).So, for those of you who also weren't aware that you could get email notifications, here's how - click on the customize button at the top right side of your screen. Then choose Settings, then choose Comments, now scroll down the the Comment Notification Email box and type in your email address.
Now for a couple of photos that don't make me feel so stupid.
Both taken on the same evening.
This one just taken at sunset after a long day of heavy rain.
This one was taken earlier that evening. If you look carefully, you can see it's a double rainbow.We were leaving a meeting at the kid's school and found this amazing sight just outside the door. I was immediately taken by the immense beauty and I couldn't believe how perfect the shot was. Right over a church... could you ask for a better set-up??!!
It was raining and I didn't want to ruin my camera, yet I really didn't want to pass up the opportunity to snap a few photos... thankfully there was a narrow eave to take cover under.

No your not the only one!! This blogging thing we do is a learning process!! LOL!! Beautiful pictures!!
ReplyDeleteFirst, the pics are amazing!!! I have never caught a rainbow like that and believe me I have tried...
ReplyDeleteSecond, email alert? what? now maybe you should give lessons because I did not know! My email address is lrick4444@yahoo.com just in case I AM the only dummy still left in blogland.
Love the rainbow picture! Rest assured you are not the only one that has done that. Haha. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteThat shot was amazing - all the colors in it - so perfect!
ReplyDeleteNot dumb at all...if my friend Martha who turned me onto photo blogging hadn't helped me I would probably have done the same thing, LOL. BTW, your photos are beautiful....the first one is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteNot so dumb......It is amazing the new things I have learned. I am still trying to figure out how to Mosaic, haven't mastered that yet? I love your pictures.....you are really good:)
ReplyDeleteWe still have many things to learn in life. Nice pictures especially the one taken earlier that evening. Happy blue monday.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely photographs, amazing it was the same day. Of course living on Cape Cod it is always different every 10 minutes.
ReplyDeleteCindy
What?? I am with you girl, I didn't know until now that you are telling me!! I am pretty new at blogging.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the pictures they are awesome!!!
I've had email alerts since I first began blogging, but that may be because I'm the slow moving type who reads EVERYTHING. In any case, I'm glad you've found it.
ReplyDeleteYou're before shot is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your blue. Happy Blue Monday.
Making new discoveries every day about little tricks available in the blogging world. That rainbow is beautiful. God is so faithful to gift us with treasures like this all through life's journey!
ReplyDeleteI did know that, but I just found out I can have comments AFTER MINE emailed to me as well. So, for blog posts where there is healthy discussion, I can keep abreast of everything.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
pictures are cute and thanks so much for the great tip
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful shot! You are so funny about keeping a running tally! LOL...Christine
ReplyDeletewhat beautiful pictures. The one with the rainbow is amazing.

Both photographs are lovely, but I am, of course, partial to the blue. I hope you are having a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures of the sky,both are beautiful.Happy Blue monday.Yes,i knew about e-mail alerts, but haven't availed of it yet.
ReplyDeleteOh, dear one...no WAY are you dumb. I won't even tell you about the dumb things I have had to ask about. Really goofy things that made me feel like a dunce.
ReplyDeleteYour sky shots are magnificent...love that rainbow so much.
Now, gotta go read more of your blog that I've missed this last week....
hugs, bj
great post! No wonder some people respond so quickly when you leave them a note. ;D
ReplyDeleteha ha!!! I did the same thing at the beginning!!! then I did it so that I ended up getting two notifications of the same comment!!! it is a learning thing!! glad I am not alone in this...lol
ReplyDeleteyour photos are gorgeous!
Very easy to make a mosaic and you can do it on several sites for free too and we use picassa. I actually purchased photoshop for a whole lot of money to do a mosaic and have yet to open the package since January. Just another toy hubby had to have that we have not had time to getting around to reading the instructions:) I wait for my kids to install all these things and then just show me how to use them. I was thinking of taking a class but the price was so much for one full day and honestly after 2 hours of any instructions my brain goes blank:)
ReplyDeleteJoyce
But here is what I want to know - is there a way to keep a tally on how many people visit your site, even if they don't comment? Just 'cause I wonder if anyone ever reads mine..... and THANK YOU for saying you saw a bear!! Because one day my daughter and I were sure we saw one while we were out driving, and my husband has teased us mercilessly for "seeing things, probably a big rock." So, HAH!! There are bears running around here!! Wait 'til I tell him ;)
ReplyDeleteIf you will teach me to take pictures as gorgeous as these, I will do your counting for you:) I hope you will join me at diningwithdebbie.blogspot.com for Crock Pot Wednesday. Mr. Linky will be up on Tuesday for your link. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by my place for a visit.
ReplyDeleteLove your pics. Such beautiful colors only God could have made. =0)
The email feature is great. Your going to love it!!
Blessings,
Barbara Jean
The pictures are amazing. It's so fabulous to be able to capture a rainbow in a photo. Happy Blue Monday to you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! Enjoyed visiting you today.
ReplyDeleteBe blessed,
Susan
It took me a while to learn about email alerts and used to use tally sheets to keep track as well. Glad you figured it out and I'm sure other bloggers will appreciate the 'heads up' too. LOVE the gorgeous yellows of your sunset and blues of your rainbow photographs. Thanks for visiting my yellows at Small Reflections. My blues are at Sacred Ruminations this week ;--)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Good evening. What a lovely blog you have here. Your pictures are very beautiful. They are just amazing. I hope you are having a happy day :>)
ReplyDeleteLearning about blogging and Facebook is quite a curve, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday and thanks for the visit to my blog. :)
You know it's good to learn something new every day! Your photos are spectacular! Thanks for sharing and for stopping by. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
I loved all your photos. They are simply beautiful. I appreciate all the help I can get when it comes to this blog business. I have not been doing it very long, so I really appreciate any help I can it. I am glad you shared it with us, and too, I am pleased you visited my post.
ReplyDeleteI knew about the email alerts, but still learning about other things as well. Every now and then I learn something new. Love the gorgeous pictures you captured. Those are amazing. I am glad you had your camera with you that day! Thanks for visiting me today!
ReplyDeleteI knew about the alerts, but I don't know much else..learning every day..
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL pictures..both would look great framed!! I have never caught a pic of a rainbow..lots of sunsets from down the block at the bay though..always a little different! :)
So fun of you to share your Imperfections! And the amazing thing about making mistakes, not only do we learn from them but I bet you helped LOTS of peps!.
ReplyDeleteIf you have a moment join me and come by--- would appreciate your stopping.
TTFN~~Claudia ♥ ♥
Oh no! It's okay better later than never :)
ReplyDeleteNice skies btw!
Cheers.
Thank you for leaving a sweet comment about my chickens! They really are a fun group of girls! :o)
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are amazing!
I didn't know that either! I just keep checking!
ReplyDeleteHa, ha, ha, HA! I literally just did this about an hour ago! So, my question is when we start the group for magazine addicts, can we have a subgroup for dumb bloggers?
ReplyDeleteDo you think they have one of those "Dummy" books for people like us?
Great photos! Love, love the rainbow.
HA! No,I feel dumb now! Thanks for the tip - would have NEVER figured that one out myself!
ReplyDeleteYour tomatoes look SO yummy!!
Whoa your photos are beautiful! And not many people know that email alert thing. I know I've tried to contact others and have to go to their most recent post to get a response.
ReplyDeleteYou captured Mother Nature showing off. We continue to learn something everyday and I think that's great. This blogging, twitter, FB etc has so much I will never learn.
ReplyDeleteHappy Twirls
Thanks for the comment on my peach crisp. I am happy you stopped by. YOur blog looks great! I love the pictures..so pretty.
ReplyDeleteOh WOW, this is a great post & you have the most gorgeous site here. I had to stop by to leave this comment for you – and to say hello of course ! Your posts are creative and original and you have interesting pictures. It's all perfect ! Thank you for sharing your site and best wishes....
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture....aren't rainbows just amazing?
ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh out loud...we all learn something new every day, don't we?
Blessings,
Spencer
I blogged for months before I figured out the email notification. At first I used my general email. I have since created a gmail account which I use exclusively for my blog comments. I just find it easier to separate those from my general email.
ReplyDeletewow - thanks for the email alert discovery!!!! As always, your photography is just awesome. It is such a privilege to be able to enjoy it in our context. Best, joan
