Nomination for the blog of the year award

My deep gratitude goes to http://aristonorganic.com/2014/02/18/blog-of-the-year-award-2/ for honoring me with this award, her blog is a true breath of fresh air visiting is a treat 🙂

There are so many amazing bloggers out there which I could nominate, of true quality, each one in its own right but this time I’ll focus on the photographers who are admirable in their patience, technique, accuracy & creativity.
They have a lot to offer to the blogger’s world & their nomination is my way of saying thank you, for reaching out there to us with valuable advice!

The rose caught in a rainfall

I have realized that even though I have plucked up my courage tonight & started to restore my photography section (which is much harder than the two previous ones I did as each post can contain up to nine photos!) I still need to share with all of my faithful followers, my work… one of them photography and offer you this rose offered to me 😉 and caught in a rainfall (which I’m quite proud of :)) as a tribute to the very talented photographers I follow out there & from whom I learn everyday a bit more.

I am taking this opportunity to remind you how amazing you all are & how much I’ve benefited from your blogs since I opened mine a year & four months ago should it be in my writing, poetry, painting, gardening or photography.

Thank you!

~~Ten questions to be answered~~

Your favorite color …. The color I most relate to and relax with is blue
Your favorite animal … Dolphins & horses are at the top of my list but I could easily include some more
Your favorite non-alcoholic drink …. Evian water. Many years ago I laughed at someone discussing water thinking what’s the difference until I developed those taste buds of mine and got an inclination for Evian 🙂
Facebook or Twitter … I don’t believe them to be a necessary tool
Your favorite pattern … Wavy
Do you prefer getting or giving presents? I surely prefer giving. I call it an egoistical gesture because I believe I get more out of it than the receiver
Your favorite number … It is 1. Symbolic to beginnings…fresh starts
Your favorite day of the week … Definitely Saturday, an opportunity to disconnect & recharge one’s batteries
Your favorite flower … I like the splash of colors a bunch of wildflowers offers, it represents life, freedom & a healthy cycle of nature
What is your passion? … I have quite a few… The week is too short to practice all of them but the one’s at the top of my list are writing, painting, photography, music, gardening & mainly living a clean organic life among nature

~~I nominate the following women and their blogs~~

Many thanks again!

I did it!! I restored the whole painting category in one day!

Sheer bliss!

I am treating myself to a virtual holiday splurge to celebrate a broken record of the fastest blog restorer 😉
Hence this idyllic photo…
I have to admit I have much less posts in painting than poetry & my next categories will take much longer because each post has much more than one photo but I am very grateful to have come this far.
I was so discouraged in the beginning I thought I’d never find the incentive but when http://irinadim.com/ told me she tried to see my paintings & couldn’t find them it gave me that oomph so needed to go on after my poetry category was finished.

I truly am grateful for every blogger’s feedback & support, it is the ONLY way I could muster the little energy I had to get going at first and go further after.

I hope you’ll get as much pleasure browsing through it as the satisfaction I had putting those photos back! It made me want to get back to my painting after a long absence due to intensive writing.

Enjoy it & let me know if you liked it.

The weather is beautiful and I am “dusting off” my blog!
I made order and took all the Awards & celebrations
From the writing category and gave them a place of honor 🙂

I hope this will make easier your search for the appropriate…

My best wishes to my faithful followers for a healthy sunny summer!

A thank you bouquet to all my faithful fellow bloggers!

White African daisies

This is a post to bring color to our first hesitant spring steps… A bunch of white African daisies to the amazing bunch of followers, viewers, likers, commenters and bloggers I have been following myself and offer much more to me than they can imagine through their informative and constantly inspirational posts.
The numbers are not relevant to everything I have learned as a blogger but gratitude obligates me to give them nevertheless to you.
I reached 7.302 viewers, 677 comments, 185 followers, I don’t know how to check my like numbers but there’s a lot. I have published 265 posts too!
Thanks to all of you for the constant support through my good and more trying times with my Windows 8 difficulties 🙂
