An urn of luscious fall colors from The Arbor. Enjoy!
Yesterday, I was totally taken by surprise when I received the "Blogging Friends Forever" Award from Blognote, who posts each day the most remarkable, professional photographs of his beautiful hometown, Arona,Italy - aronaeverday.blogspot.com Grazie Diederick, my friend. I am honored to be chosen by you.
Next it is my turn to give the award to 5 bloggers following the next rules. ( I didn't like this part. It was incredibly hard to choose just 5!)
1. Only 5 people allowed
2. Four have to be dedicated followers of your blog.
3. One has to be someone new or recently new to your blog and live in another part of the world.
4. You must link back to whoever gave you the award.
I added a 5th. I chose bloggers that had not been previously honored with other awards in order to "spread the love"!
After a great deal of thought, the envelope please...............
Bandung Daily Photo - Eki Quashay Akwan
San Francisco Daily Photo - Burd Zel Krai
Arradon Daily Photo - Alice
Yankee in Belgrade - Bibi
A fine group of talented photographers and writers, but most of all friends whom I have enjoyed learning from and getting to know.

LATE BREAKING NEWS! I just heard from our friend Marley at Cheltenham Daily Photo
and Tash at Palos Verdes DP, that they have also given me the honor of this award. I gratefully accept but have asked them to let someone else choose the 5 blogger friends in my place. Thank you Marley and Tash!
Question: Do these awards make my head look big????
