Photos by Donna

What a busy busy past several days with work!  But I’ve not stopped taking photos and have a few hundred that I haven’t looked at yet……Geez Donna, you say!  But there’s just been so much activity right before me, both air and ground, with eagles, osprey, comorants, coots, mallards, vultures, robins, blue herons, gulls, my returning grebe, and more.  I’m sure out of the many flight shots I took, most will be out of focus as I tried to lock in on them as they cruised on by; but I’m hoping there will be a few awesome focused shots in the bunch.  I hope in another day or two to be posting some selections to share.  Please stay tuned for that….

This post is a special one for me!  I’m honored to announce I’ve been nominated to receive the Very Inspiring Blogger Award by my friend bloggers MDPhotographers.  They are a couple of cool guys from Maryland who capture and share a variety of beauty through their lens with striking composition and style.  Please stop over and check them out.  And thank you guys for this award!  I appreciate your thoughtfulness and am very pleased that you enjoy my site!

In order to accept this Award, in addition to thanking my nominator(s), I am required to share seven things about myself.  So here ya go!

1.  I am a first-time grandmother to Benjamin who will be 10 months old this week.  He is my sweetheart!

2.  I am also happily married, and have a son & daughter-in-law, and a daughter & future son-in-law (wedding in November).

3.  I love to go fast!  (cars & boats)

4.  I also love to go slow! (biking, hiking & photographing)

5.  My all-time favorite musical artists are Bon Jovi, followed by Aerosmith & Prince; and now I’ll throw in a “180” & add Jimmy Buffet.

6.  My husband and I are serious boaters, meaning we go boating whenever we seriously possibly can.

7.  My favorite meal is cracking & eating a spread of Chesapeake Bay blue crabs and washing them down with a cold one on ice.  Delicious!!

I am also required and pleased to pass on this award to seven nominees of my choice.  I thoroughly enjoy many bloggers’ sites who inspire me with their words and photos, along with a guaranteed smile and/or chuckle, so narrowing to seven is hard!  Since there are a few that have already received this award, I’ve not included them in my nominee list…  So here are my nominees, in no particular order.

1.  Some Little Crum Creek

2.  Quiet Solo Pursuits

3.  Texas Tweeties by Bob

4.  Thoughts From The Road

5.  From Moments to Memories

6.  Joleen’s Photos Blob

7.  Palm Beach County Naturally
