I feel so honored to receive this award from Jeanne. This is my first ever award for either of my blogs. My first blog, yadkinvalleyhome is what I consider my "real photoblog". This one was sort of an afterthought where I can send out a little bit more about my personality. The instructions for me to are as follows:
1. Thank the person giving the award.
2. Copy the award to this blog.
3. Place a link to their blog.
4. Name 7 things people don't know about you
5. Nominate 7 bloggers who you admire (WHAT? ONLY 7???
6. Place a link to these bloggers
7. Leave a comment on their blog notifying them of the award.
Seven things people don't know about me:
1. I'm also a painter; photography was sort-of just a hobby until 2009. Now I'm learning watercolor painting.
2. All my photos (even on yadkinvalleyhome) so far have been taken from a simple, point and click camera - an older Sony Cybershot. And I don't have Photoshop either. I wanted my photos to be something anyone could do, even without expensive equipment.
3. My lifelong dream is to live in the mountains.
4. Geneaology has been a 10 year + hobby of mine. I have huge charts of both sides of our families and cabinets full of info, probably enough for a book.
5. Before the children came along, I owned a retail pet store.
6. After eating out and having a great meal, I like to come home and recreate the recipe.
7. My son and I enjoy raising finches together.
This last part was the hardest, seven bloggers who I admire:
1. Dagmar - http://barefootfromheaven.blogspot.com/ She shows her deep character to go along with her wonderful photos.
2. Mark - http://appalachiantreks.blogspot.com/ I love Mark's photos of the Appalachian Mountains.
3.Lee - http://fromthesehills.wordpress.com/ Lee has wonderful quotes of wisdom to go along with beautiful photos of flowers.
4. Jessica - http://jessicayusdi.blogspot.com/ Jessica shows us many gorgeous photos of her travels and her beautiful son.
5. Stephen - http://nikonsniper.blogspot.com/ Stephen is a new blog for me to follow. I like the crispness of his photos and the variety of everything he posts.
6. Sandy - http://4pointsphotography.blogspot.com/ Sandy shows us her wonderful outdoor world in a unique way.
7. Beverly - http://beverlygilbert.blogspot.com/ Beverly is so talented with color and her beadwork. Her creations are amazing!!

Its neat how this award is making its way around our seperate, but overlapping, circles! I love learning the 7 things about people. I "accidentally" hatched a finch year ago, didn't know we had a male & female together!
I'd love to see some of your paintings!
awww... thank you very much for the awards!
By the way, I really love your header picture :-) Too bad, snow has been washed out here in UK after nights of raining.
I am glad this award is being shared around. I love your photography and was surprised by the camera. It just shows that you don't need the most modern, up to date gear to take great shots.
Hi Teresa, thanks for sending me the award. And those words you've choosen for me touched me deeply. I'm still surprised how people see me and you've put this amazing big smile on my face. Thanks you're a real friend who I cherish dearly. Hugs from across the globe.
Dagmar
