Let me know what you think and if you are going to give it a try.

I hope that these videos will encourage those that live near the Blue Ridge Mountains to take advantage of this beautiful drive that goes all the way to Asheville, NC.  In this series we will probably only go to about mile marker 50, but who know what may be in store for those of you that follow my journey.

I hope you enjoy and take time to start back at mile marker 0.  Also, if there is an attraction near Charlottesville, Va. that you feel would make a good addition to my blog please leave me a comment, and I will see what I can do.

Have a great day.

This video takes up where the last one left off in Wintergreen Ski Resort near Charlottesville, Virginia.   Just off of the Blue Ridge Parkway at mile marker 14.

I hope you enjoy and will continue to come back and see where I go next.

All information deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

Would it be helpful if we bounced ideas off of each other? I may be as confused as the rest of you, but I know that more heads are better than one.

For example we could share those tips that we have found most helpful.

I am not to ashamed to say that I could use all the help I can get. Like many of you I started my blog because I was told it was the next biggest thing and if I didn’t want to be left behind I should get involved.

Then came the realization once it was begun “Now What?” I have tried numerous approaches and I have found that some get more attention and interest than others. Video for one has become one of my favorite, and it isn’t that difficult to do. It doesn’t have to be professional to get attention.

What do you think shall we offer a helping hand to each other or continue tilting with the windmills in our sleep?

I would love to see a lot of involvement in this even if you don’t have a blog this could give you enough information to decide if you want to or not.

Most of you are probably watching the Super Bowl right now so I will give this a few days to reach you. I will be looking forward to your comments, input and questions. Remember there are no bad questions just unasked ones.

Reblogged from Prue Shockley Photography:

Somehow to-day I got to thinking about Hummingbirds.  Must be the strange warm weather we are having, plus I just love Hummingbirds.   I  took this picture last September just before the little guys headed south for the winter. My photography started during my 10 year Real Estate career taking pictures of homes for listings.  I was hooked and today I take all kinds of shots.   Admittedly it is the real estate shots which are my bread and butter but I find more and more when I look around there are …

Check out the humming bird photo.

First let me clarify that I am not a psychologist nor do I put myself out there as one when I take part in local radio or TV segments.  That being said I will be asking one (my lovely wife) to get her opinion as soon as she returns.  I may even interview her for another blog.

The problem which I find presenting itself usually goes like this:  Today while I was trying to relax I picked up one of the 5 or 6 books on social media, marketing etc. that I have purchased over the past 3 or so months.  Then it hits me.  I realize that of these highly recommended books I have never finished any of them.

This is what usually happens.  I am perusing the internet and reading one of my favorite Bloggers, and they happen to mention a book that could help me with my social media problems.  So I make a note of the book and author and tuck the note away in my wallet.  Then the next time I am in B & N I look up the book and read the cover excitedly, make the purchase and head for home.

Here is what happens next.  The time arrives when I can sit down uninterrupted for a few minutes and read my new book.  I make it through the first chapter and the author of this book recommends another one that deals with another marketing problem that I have experienced.  I make a note of the title and author and you know the rest.  My mind is now on this second book and the cited problem.  So I sit the recently purchase book aside, and promise myself I will come back to it the next day.

Now the cycle repeats itself and I am sitting down with my newest purchase.  You can probably guess what happens now.

Is this just me or is it the same with others and the internet.  The internet has conditioned us with almost instant gratification, and we happily jump from one topic to the other without actually reading more than 5 or so minutes or over 140 characters.  Have you noticed that most “video experts” recommend that your videos be no longer than 3 to 5 minutes because the average viewer will not last much longer unless the subject matter is fantastic.

So I would love to have your thoughts on this topic.  Do you think it’s just me or are you being affected in the same way?

Thanks for helping me with my little research project.  By the way my wife has taken away my B & N discount card and vows to only return it when I have completely finished reading my earlier purchases.

I look forward to your input.
