Over two months back, Ann at All Write with Coffee handed over the 'From Me To You" Award, only she called it the "From Me To You (Picasso)" Award, and gave it to me because she liked some of the photographs I had posted that week!
I'm exercising my poetic license, and am passing it on to bloggers who touch the heart with the visual images they create -
Al of Publish or Perish
Heather of I'm not Hannah
Faith of Sacred Dirt
Fifi of Fififlowers
Fiona of On a Quirky Quest with Lady Fi
Jan of Crazy Jane
Marjorie of Everything Emerald
Patricia of Patricia Stoltey
SueAnn of SueAnn's Journey
Each is an incredible artist, and I salute them all.
And here's a photograph of a flower that bloomed in my "garden" earlier this week. One of the several varieties of jasmine, Juhi, with their mild fragrance always take me back to my childhood.
Jasminum auriculatum

Thank you, Rayna, that's so sweet.
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations on receiving the award -- you have wonderful photos but you also have a way of giving us word pictures that make us feel as though we've been all the places you talk about. The jasmine photo makes me want to lean over and inhale the scent.
Do you remember the Bhimsen Joshi & Manna Dey song- ketaki gulab juhi champak ban phooley?
ReplyDeleteThat's what your beautiful photograph evoked.
I've loved all your recent posts, just been caught up with too much stuff to comment on each. Loved the mega-post especially:)
Congratulations for your richly deserved award and thank you for passing it on to me...I accept it humbly and as you know that's hard for me! Ha! I'm having a struggling day - did my thousand words but the plot is UNWIELDLY. Going to go take the pooch for a stroll and blow the dust outa my brainpan...

Found you of course through the interconnections here blogging. Glad I did. You remind me that I met a wonderful man years ago here in Virginia (USA) who did acupressure on my brain-injured daughter. He also taught us many things about India food and other cultural things. We loved him. So nice to meet you.

ReplyDelete@ Fiona - nobody deserves the Award more than you do
ReplyDelete@ Mason - the flowers are long gone, but the fragrance lingers
@ Patricia - the thing that drove me to your blog was the pictures and the word pictures of Colorado.
