"Thinking Blogger" Awards



It was a nice surprise and a real honor to be named a "Thinking Blogger" by DRB of Daily Art Mas or Menos. With this post, I'm passing the award on to five more bloggers.

First, here are the simple rules:

1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think,

2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme,

3. Optional: Proudly display the 'Thinking Blogger Award' with a link to the post that you wrote (here is an alternative gold version if silver doesn't fit your blog).

Here are the bloggers I've chosen to receive the "Thinking Blogger Award" (in alphabetical order.) I admire these people for consistently maintaining high-quality blogs. Their writing is intelligent, entertaining, and often informative and thought-provoking.


I don't know if any of these bloggers do memes and will pass this on, but I want to recognize them anyway. Well done, y'all.

I regret that the rules limit the awards to just five blogs. All of the blogs on my blogrolls are worthy of honor. Please spend a few minutes visiting them.

Thanks for the recognition, I appreciate it.

You're quite welcome. I always enjoy coming to your blog and seeing life through the eyes of a cattleman.

Larry said...

Thanks so much, Genevieve! I've been reading your Treenotes posts and have enjoyed them. You might have enough material for a book here, like a newer version of Donald Culross Peattie's Natural History of Trees, a book I think you would like.

Larry, I think I have checked that book out from the library before. It's been a while, though -- I should look for it again.

James, I always look forward to reading your blog. Thanks for writing it. It's good to know that you're over there, keeping Ireland in line.

What a boost to come home from a tough week helping my increasingly cantankerous dad to find that I'm a little bit appreciated. Thank you so much for your encouragement, frequent comments, and well-written posts on our many shared interests.

Genevieve said...

Collagemama, thanks for your blog. Thanks also for your many trips to visit your dad. You are a good daughter.

The study of trees

"The power to recognize trees at a glance without examining their leaves or flowers or fruit as they are seen, for example, from the car-window during a railroad journey, can only be acquired by studying them as they grow under all possible conditions over wide areas of territory. Such an attainment may not have much practical value, but once acquired it gives to the possessor a good deal of pleasure which is denied to less fortunate travelers."
Charles Sprague Sargent (1841-1927)
