SkyWatch Friday + I got an Award!

posted by Babs on Friday, 5 December 2008

Lately I have been posting photos that I took on a walk we took a few weeks ago.  These photos were also taken on that walk.  I took about 150 photos that day, so there are plenty more left.

I loved these very tall trees.  They looked beautiful against the blue sky.

Sky Watch Friday & Award

posted by Babs on Thursday, 21 August 2008


When we feel like going for a walk, Mo and I often come here. It’s our local reservoir, and is a beautiful spot for walking. This is the view to our left.

On our right is the reservoir and another beautiful view, with lots of fluffy clouds.

Now for something completely different…..

I was given this great award by The Teach. Thank you very much!. I love this award for two reasons. I like it because it’s nice to think you make people smile, and also because I love the Happy Feet video trailer, which I have on my iPhone. It makes me smile every time I watch it.

I will pass this award on later, but I just wanted to get it posted today ;O)

Caught in the web

posted by Babs on Sunday, 10 August 2008
I was out in the garden, just as it was getting dark.  I saw this and decided to take a photo.  Without a flash it was boring, but once I used the flash it brought it alive, I thought.  If you enlarge it you can see the detail better.  Full size it’s beautiful, but, obviously I can’t post it that size.

All of my photographs enlarge for more detail.

And now…..

I am thrilled to have received this award from Ana at Chica-Pumuckl Thank you so much Ana.

I Got an Award!

I am thrilled!

I was really pleasantly surprised to receive this award from JD at “I Do Things”. It made my day!

The award is given to bloggers who contribute to the blogging community in a creative, interesting or inspiring way. You can see why I was thrilled to receive it.

I’ve found various translations of ‘Arte Y Pico’ and they are all similar. My translation widget gives ‘Art and Tip’ clicked one more time it changes to ‘Art And Extremity’ Whatever it actually means, it’s all good :O)

Arte Y Pico Award rules :

1. Pick 5 blogs that you feel deserve this award, and who, in your opinion, contribute to the blogger community, in a creative or interesting way.

2. Each award should have the name of the author with a link to their blog.

3. Award winners have to post the award with the name and link back to the blog of the person who gave them the award.

4. Please include a link to the “Arte Y Pico” blog, the originator of the award.

There are many blogs that I find really interesting and a joy read. Some are warm and inviting, even before you start to read, some make me laugh and some are full of wisdom. I had to narrow it down so I have picked just five.

I would like to pass this on to:

Kathy – The Junk Drawer for making me laugh at her zany posts

Drowsey – Drowsey Monkey for allowing me to laugh at her expense

Swubird – Swubirds Nest for his little slices of 50’s life in America

Sassy – Sassycat for creative ideas and hard work she puts into the cat bloggosphere

JB – JB’s Big World for a lovely photographic blog full of wonderful animals
