Bird on a Wire

I bundled up and went for a long walk today.  It was another cold (27 F/ -2.7 C) but very sunny day.  It was really beautiful with all the snow and ice against the blue sky but this American Kestrel was the winner today.  I think I will go back on New Year's Day for my blip.  If you haven't heard about the plan for that day, here it is:

"- Take or create an image on Friday 1st January, featuring the word “blip” somewhere within it. Be creative: write it in pencil, sweets, stones, people - whatever you’d like! Where you can, please feature the word within the thumbnail so the collection of images look good together;
 
- Write in your text why blip is special to you and worth saving. Why do you care about saving Blipfoto? What makes it such a special community? What are the special parts of your journal you are particularly proud of? What would you do to encourage someone to join blip and get the same experience? We want to see both some amazing stories and to encourage others to pledge where they feel they can. This will also help spread the word wider than only the blip members themselves, as we know many blips are shared through other media. Please include the link to our crowd funding site at https://www.blipfuture.com in your words;
 
- Tag the entry with #PledgeBlipfoto so that we can all easily browse for them"

On January 11 the Blipfuture team will be meeting with the current owners to review progress and if they are all confident that the crowdfunding will succeed they will start detailed negotiations.  If the existing owners are not confident of success at that time we are likely to lose this opportunity, and Blipfoto will close.  Please, if you are planning to pledge and haven't done so yet, don't delay any longer!  Make your pledge now to Blipfuture to keep our site alive!
