Shelley Turner

Meet Me Here.... Bridges are great meeting places. So Welcome! What better photo to say hello with than this one. I wonder how many have found each other in the past on this footbridge in Alfriston, Sussex, UK. And then returned, for the memory.

Just going to check notifications on here, that might take me all week as well.... Then I need me a pic of Mads. Stress relief you understand.....back in a mo...

Here we go again, Night Owl here. Finally I have managed to get back on here. Just sorting some Flickr pics out etc, gone a bit bonkers there as regards views, I'll be 'thanking' all week. I need a secretary! Here's some new stuff: flickr.com/photos/193518971@…

shelleyturnerpoetpix.com/pos… Hello everybody! Just a quick notification to let you know I have a new Blog Post up; news of what I have been doing and Guest Commenting at last! Hope to be on for a chat later, see what you are all up to!

6. Last ramble. I wasn't sure I would come back on here. My temperament is such that I can be a solitary creature. Know thyself and all that. But that's not healthy sometimes, too much introspection. We are all an odd mix. I like to be honest. Laugh. Maybe you like it too.🙏

5. On Twitter my razor sharp conversation seems be popular...! Maybe I should just do "Musings From The Melancholy Poet". Point I'm making for others starting out is to experiment with what works best for you. It takes time. Tip; keep your perspective. Laugh.

4. Twitter is great for conversation. Sharing ideas. Showcasing my work I have found Flickr to be great.I can show my full-length poetry as well as photos. Traffic to my website gave me confidence as well. No doubt about that. My advice for showing work is just see what's best.

3. Twitter is a strange world. A break away enabled me to see that Twitter loves confidence. Fine if you have it. Difficult to start from zero. But I would say to others give it a go. See if it works for you. I have made some lovely friends. This gave me confidence to work more.

2. Over 203,994 views on Flickr. To me, this is so validating. Especially as my work is not exactly conventional shall we say! Maybe some people understand me after all. It was an experiment at first..if nobody liked my stuff I was just going to, well, do something else.

1. OK, let's get the trumpet blowing over with first, but I thought, for me, this was nice. Since I was last on Twitter in April stats on Flickr have built steadily. Considering the deep subject matter, I am joyful that folks have found me & my moody photos!

Right, I am off for a cup of tea now, lest I excite myself too much after such a long absence. See you soon. @ABritSeven take care of yourself, I love you dearly. @coolearrings thinking of you. @milhistbuff3 Love to you. @djswaleswrites missed you. Love to all I know.❤️🙏

Just been whizzing back through some stuff & it s crazy really. So I am just going to go from here. If you find me, Hi. I'm just going to find a pic of Mads and maybe I'll be fine. I've missed him. See what I can find.❤️ Oh, the hearts still work Thank God.

Oh God, this has been so long I've forgotten how to do some stuff...I missed E. Musk's not take over! Oh well, that doesn't matter does it? Lol. I'll type that again...lol. That was good.

And here's the website, some new pages have gone up recently, 'In The Meadow, Heaven On Earth & Eternal Wisdom. If you fancy a look. shelleyturnerpoetpix.com

I have been doing ok on Flickr tho. The response has been amazing. And people still trundling over to look at the website. This melancholic poet & photographer is still managing to push people's buttons. Just my own I need to take care of! flickr.com/photos/193518971@…
