One of the blogs I follow, Our Rumbling Ocean, is that of an amazing photographer and his family. They refer to their blog as “Our Blog.” Perhaps it is the frequent sweetness and light that keeps me reading, but surely anyone would love their photos. The photos are often breathtaking, particularly for this under-traveled American, who oohs and ahhs over the flora and fauna on a faraway continent. It’s a nature geek fix. Did I mention their blog often features an adorable tiny person who toddles about smiling and making dimples? Really, it’s a charming blog.
I am flattered that they have awarded me The Black Wolf Blogger award. This award was maybe more exciting than others, since I’d not seen hide nor hair of it until it appeared there. (more oohing and ahhing)
Rules for this Award: Thank the person who nominated you for the award. Add the logo to your post. Nominate ten (10) bloggers you admire and inform your nominees by commenting on their blogs.
I’m picking a rather eclectic set of blogs which are some of my favorites to read. Some are already wildly popular and some are seemingly under-read but I like them all.
Aussa Lorens, Hacker. Ninja. Hooker. Spy.
Samara Speaks, A Buick in the Land of Lexus
In the words of those who nominated me, and others before them — It is said the positive attributes of the wolf include sharp intelligence, deep connection with instincts, and an appetite for freedom. The wolf works hard, and usually works within a group, feeling connected to others. The wolf is also a social animal, and deeply connected to the earth. The black wolf in particular is also rare and beautiful.
Have a lovely Wednesday. I always spend my Wednesdays running around, pining for The Mister, wishing it was Thursday and time for Scandal and wine, but I always manage to pull through.

Uh…. “Bear” was supposed to be “near!” Typo or perhaps intentional due to the wolf and wildlife theme of this award? 😉

You are on a deserved award honor roll, my friend. And the Black Wolf is indeed a cool now one to add to your growing badge collection. The Boeta Ocean blog that nominated you really is a fine family outing. I enjoy it very much. And, no surprise, the bloggers you in turn nominated, many already fill my reading habits. Congratulations to you and all. Way to go! And, yes, Thursday and your Mister will arrive for you soon. 🙂

Oooo awesome, thank you Joey! I want to watch Scandal and drink wine. I’ve only ever watched it on Netflix… now Alex lives here and has TV but I don’t know how to go back and time and make this work for me. Someday I’ll figure it out. I have goals.
