Sky Watch Friday

The team at Sky Watch always manages to do a great job, organizing things for all 300-some of us to present our pictures to the world.


I had nothing scheduled for Sky Watch today, but when I opened my front door, I saw a lovely, soft dawn.

Photo Meme

I have been tagged by The Pagan Sphinx for a photo meme.

This is the kind of meme I like! Easy and fun! All you do is go to your sixth folder, choose your sixth photo in that folder, and post it. You link back to the person who chose you, and choose six more people to do the same.

My sixth folder is of photos I took during a visit to a convalescent home last May. As I was leaving, from the parking lot I spied this elderly gentleman practicing a few golf swings on the front lawn. Not a really great photo, but I like it, and it does bring back memories of a warm, pleasant, spring day.




The photographers I choose, if they choose to participate, are:

Judy at Imagine
Lily at Long Island Daily Photo
Laura at Somewhere in New Jersey
Daryl at Out and About in New York City
Deborah at Notes from the Cloud Messenger
Dawn at Dawn's Bloggy Blog

No pressure. If you have the time and inclination, show us your picture.

An Unexpected Award

I have received a new award from Dawn, of Dawn's Bloggy Blog. It is the Superior Scribbler Award, as you can see above. Thank you very much, Dawn. This is an unexpected honor, and I really do appreciate it.

Like most awards, it comes with a set of rules, as follows:

1. Name five other Superior Scribblers to receive this award.
2. Link to the author and name of the blog that gave you the award.
3. Display the award on your blog, with this LINK which explains the award.
4. Click on the award at the bottom of the link, and add your name to the
bottom of the list.
5. Post the rules.


This is the third time I have broken my own rule of not passing on awards. It is always so difficult to decide who, among so many great bloggers, should receive an award. For this one, there are so many I'd love to give it to, but I see that many have already received it recently. That makes it just a little easier.

Whenever I pass on an award, I want to make it clear that no obligation goes with it. The recipients may choose not to pass it on further, just please acknowledge it so that I know you received it. I would like to pass it to:

Deb, who writes Waltzes With Words, a wonderfully imaginative blog in which she shares her poetry and lovely photographs. More recently she has started a blog called Grouse and Chortle, which I enjoy just as much. She writes no less than four others as well! Go visit and learn about them.

Deborah, whose blog The Cloud Messenger is beautifully written and a real delight. It also contains really wonderful photos, and occasionally her poetry.

Ann writes four blogs, and I don't know how she does that:
Nature Tales and Camera Trails is just wonderful! Gallimaufry Gleanings is her newest, and I look forward to each new entry. Varying Seasons is her photo blog. New Brunswick Covered Bridges is self-explanatory.

Sylvia writes Sylvia from Over the Hill. I look forward to reading her posts every day - often two or three times a day. Always current, strong, informative, and often funny.

David is the author of Five String Guitar. I have been reading his blog a relatively short time, and have learned to love it. It is autobiographical and deals with his deafness and with his family. Inspiring, informative and very, very interesting.

I believe that is five. I can already think of at least five more. This is why I dislike passing on awards. There are so many others!

Again, thank you, Dawn. I love your blog, too. It's fun to follow your travels.
