Featured Blogger of the Week at BirdingBlogs.com

Dawn Fine, one of the most energetic and friendly personalities found in the nature blogging community, is also a member of the international blogging team found at BirdingBlogs.com.  When she approached me recently about being featured as the Blogger of the Week for this blog, I was both honored and delighted.
Dawn's post was published today and I am awed with the talent she displays in this beautiful presentation.  The post highlights my art and photography, as well as features some of the important conservation issues that impassion my efforts.  
Visit this informative, internationally authored blog including more than ten expert birders from around the world, with Kenn Kaufman (US); Gunnar Engblom (Peru), Susan Myers (Australia), Dan Forbes (Austria) and Tom McKinney (UK), to name a few.

Thank you, Dawn, for this beautifully presented feature!  Click here to view Dawn's Featured Blogger of the Week at BirdingBlogs.

Thanks also to Dawn's energy, my blog is featured in the Nov. 26th issue of the cyber paper, The birds-and-the-bees Daily.  Scroll down to the section entitled:  "Art and Entertainment".  Did I mention that Dawn is a fun blogging friend to know?  She's full of surprises!

Visit Dawn at Dawn's Bloggy Blog.  For another fun sampling of Dawn's delightful personality and energy, visit her featured blogger interview on the Nature Blog Network's blog.

For the Love of It...

...the sage sees heaven reflected in Nature as in a mirror, and he pursues this Art, not for the sake of gold or silver, but for the love of the knowledge which it reveals.
Sendivogius (1750)

Your Uncapped Creativity...

Your Uncapped Creativity...
"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action; and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. If you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. You must keep that channel open. It is not for you to determine how good it is, nor how valuable. Nor how it compares with other expressions. It is for you to keep it yours, clearly and directly." ----the great dancer, Martha Graham
