I'm more than happy for pweople to refer to my posts and quote from them and there's no need to noptify me though, of course, I'm always inetersted to know. I do ask that people let me know when they are using my phtos (and they are only avsilable for commercial use after being purchased).Scriptor Senexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795521284516432520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-40625006828524730992011-11-03T21:04:44.928+00:002011-11-03T21:04:44.928+00:00Hi I found your blog a while ago via Adrian of Adr...Hi I found your blog a while ago via Adrian of Adrians Images... <br /><br />Thanks for following...it made me smile to read that someone from the West Coast of the US pointed you in my direction..theconstantwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06243294919370970037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-51456053082139594332011-11-03T17:03:56.939+00:002011-11-03T17:03:56.939+00:00I always saw the three monkeys in the most negativ...I always saw the three monkeys in the most negative way-refusing to get involved no matter how much evil is going on around them.
