Perhaps a common denominator among the commentators (geez, there's a mouthful !) is that they're photographers AND quite comfortable in the company of themselves. I personally believe photography is best done in solitude - well, perhaps with an animal friend.<br /><br />Nice post - you nailed it for most of us !Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483295526635664974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4963892672915524891.post-76586067974753549032010-11-18T18:30:22.627-08:002010-11-18T18:30:22.627-08:00ahhh, I'd love to be alone on a beach right no...ahhh, I'd love to be alone on a beach right now with bare feet.

I like what you have to say about being lonely, my take on being lonely is that God gave us this feeling as a reminder that He wants to spend some time with us. I am never alone, do I get lonely, yes sometimes, I'm human after all.darlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04886502544010479581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4963892672915524891.post-31510831856540674202010-11-17T22:42:08.425-08:002010-11-17T22:42:08.425-08:00wow. i can't agree more. i treasure my time ...wow. i can't agree more. i treasure my time alone at night, when everything is quiet and everyone is asleep. it recharges my soul. you have summed it up so eloquently and beautifully. i LOVE the photos, too!Nicole Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06821747734967553308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4963892672915524891.post-54276287558490350062010-11-17T20:41:11.139-08:002010-11-17T20:41:11.139-08:00Very well said Dawn, you can be so at peace when a...Very well said Dawn, you can be so at peace when alone and so frustrated and by yourself in the midst of everyone, I can relate in the feeling of being misunderstood or not understood so to say and You are so right that others have the same feelings as we and we are never alone in our own thoughts.<br /><br />Love the pictures they show a sense of peace that few ever find.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11676883070882757501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4963892672915524891.post-59208979074891864952010-11-17T20:14:32.417-08:002010-11-17T20:14:32.417-08:00I love being alone, but I also think that there is...I love being alone, but I also think that there is a huge difference of being alone and feeling alone.
