I like the smaller version of the moon photo better than the large but I put the link there for consistency anyway.

I think I’m getting a wee bit bored with the Skywatch Friday routine. I love taking pictures of clouds and I love showing them off. And I like getting more visitors and more comments. But… I don’t know… I think it is the routine of it that I’m not thrilled with, plus the competition aspect of it. It’s not really a competition at all but it brings out the competitor in me. I’m not actually much of a competitor, or at least I’ve never been very good at it. I guess what it really brings out in me is envy. Why did I only get seven comments and some other Skywatchers got 20 or 50 or more?

I think I’m still going to keep doing Skywatch but I’m going to try to be less into it. A Skywatch post is just another post and I don’t need to save my best sky photos for Skywatch Friday. I can post them any time I feel like it. (But I do have an awesome photo I’m saving for this Friday.) And I don’t have to spend Friday visiting as many other Skywatchers as possible. And I can completely skip a Skywatch Friday if I feel like it. I’m just not a meme-y kind of blogger.
