I'm writing a book.
Well, actually two books, just bouncing back and forth between them.
I'm trying to keep up with two blogs - one for my overflowing words, one for my overflowing photographs.
I'm trying to get three businesses off the ground... personal history, photography and jewelry.
Naturally, FlickR fell a few places in my priorities.
But I haven't let go. I don't post often, but I still love it.
This week I posted the photo above...
Today I found out it was chosen for Explore.
There are no monetary awards with Explore, but each time one of my photos is selected, I feel like I've won the lottery.
Thank you, Explore People!

ReplyDeleteIt's really striking...I love it. Then again, I don't think you've ever posted a photo I didn't love.
I'm a huge fan!
Here's to even more recognition!
Wow! I followed the Explore link. That certainly gives some perspective to your recognition. Amazing photos. I do believe some of those folks are doing HDR photography.
ReplyDeleteBTW, what camera would you go for now if you could get a new one?
Well done! It's a lovely picture.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your business ideas!
I can see why this was chosen! Congratulations!!! Definitely Explore-worthy. :) As soon as I log back onto Flickr I will be selecting it as a favorite.
ReplyDeleteHigh-5! I can totally understand why it was chosen...fantastic image!

ReplyDeletewow! you have a lot of things going on... and being selected for explore is very cool. love the image.
ReplyDeleteAh, you're in fine company indeed! I love how the post has weathered. Seems like it would have dissolved into splinters if the barbed wire hadn't held it together.
ReplyDeleteAnd what do you do in your spare time? Haha! Oh you are one busy gal. Good luck with your books - how wonderful! You know I always love your photographs!
