We shall start with new photos snapped today.
Yes, we are lucky to live on the sea
and these beautiful Summer visitors such as this Snowy egret pay us morning and evening calls.
Now, my purpose for sharing these lovely just snapped shots
are not only to share with you my lucky view, but to add 'new content' to appease the Big Brother vibe I got on a comment on my last post.

Of course I've just "Copy and Pasted" this comment into the body of this post, so heaven help me, one supposes.
I might be responding in rather an over acting sort of manner, but I was truly miffed.
It is true that the last post contained photos (made by me) and artowrk (diligently and created BY MYSELF) that were shared once upon a time, years ago, on Steemit
Now, I'm not sure I'd call that 'copying and pasting' when in fact, the images were on my computer and needed my 'finding them' to create my last post.
In addition, that post was FRESHLY written that morning and of my current mind
however, I am sure with the 'diligence' of 'reverse' searching our lovely Overlords found that 'uh oh, these images appeared on the internet before, heaven help us all !'
Surely I AM over-reacting, but quite honestly this has upset me.
I was so happy to have #hive, especially after the absense from Steemit and finding how it broke up there, yet...
Is this what we want? This POLICING?
I mean in common parlance "defund the police" seems a common phrase, shall we 'defund the hive police'? Who can say, surely not I ?
Well, there was probably no need for this rant today
however, it did truly make me consider simply signing off #hive, taking my pennies of crypto and simply making MORE time for the Big Boys like Facebook and Youtube, who make no claim to be open and free for the underdogs,
With them you KNOW you are being policed and 'kept in order'.
I mean what is the point of HIVE as a sort of 'alternative' to the big guys on the interwebs? A place we can share our work and discuss things , yes even things, (heaven forfend) that we've shared previously? Are we meant to be robots constantly churning out new and better things every day and then tossing it out never to be shared again? If some of my work I've not shared on Hive is relevant to how I am feeling that day, am I not to use it in a post again?
Well, this silly rant can stop here
and I'll close with one more NEW picture just snapped today, let's hope that shall appease the 'Did I see that before!' gang...
Do excuse my over-reaction
and I hope you all have a lovely day, one less frustrating then mine turned out to be.
