A colorful award

By now it is three days ago since I got this pretty award form a excellent photographer colleague, Kathy Libby at “Photography by KML”.

Kathy is specialized in landscapes and nature photos. Visit please her blog and her very tasteful made website too and you will be amazed by her stunning and excellent work in photography.

Thank you so much Kathy for forwarding this award to me, it is a big honor and joy for me to get this nomination from such a great photographer like you are.

play the drums please.... :

And now, I have the big pleasure to forward this award to a very special person who I met in this blogosphere and who I think, he deserve this award more then anything for his great work on his three blogs.

Rick is a storm chaser and weather guy who LOVES to be outdoor when big storms are building up on the horizon. That’s normally the moment when other people are running home as fast as they can - me too - but not HE. That’s the time, when the big FUN begins for him!

Please check out his sites:

He calls his blog “Wayfarers Journey”. You will see here outstanding and excellent nature and lightning photography - something what I wish I could do it that well too!

www.stormtracker2.com

http://southeasternstormchasers.blogspot.com

This blogs have the names:"Storm Chasing Teams" and “Southwest Georgia Stormtrack” and are his other interesting and exciting sites filled with a lot of weather observations, insider information and exchanges of storm experiences between other storm trackers – a lot of new stuff to learn about storms…..stuff what I didn’t knew before. Except once, long time ago, when I have seen the movie “Twister” I got a idea, what's all about storm chasers. But he is doing this in REAL life!

That’s why I want to give this award to you Rick – you really deserve it! CONGRATULATIONS!

And this is my Blog-Day Award !

And it’s not finished now, folks…. I got another award yesterday and a fantastic review from the beautiful Silken Thank you so much Silken, giving to me this great award. It is for me, as a Non-American, a big joy and honor to get so well recognized with this awards and getting so many nice compliments to my work in photography. I appreciate that much!

I’m now to late to pass on this award to five other bloggers, but I will do it later, next month or some when….we will see. I make my own rules now too….! :-)

Without stress it’s much more fun to choose five fellow bloggers who deserve to get this big honor too – all of you deserve it, I know that - and to know this, makes my job not easier to pick just five of you!

Celebrate, celebrate...!

Celebrate, change your thoughts to love
Celebrate, what you're thinking of
Time ain't long, soon we'll be moving on,
Moving on...

I am a lucky person - and happy, proud and honored. Why am I feeling this way? Because I got my second "Rocking Blogger Award", given to me by the lovely Anna from her interesting and educational "My Only Photo" blog, with all her excellent photography.

Check out her amazing blog: http://myonlyphoto.blogspot.com

Award Winning Photograph

This is one of my award winning pictures in a competition from AGFA Germany, back in 2001. The 3rd prize was a digital camera - my very first one.
Today I have two digital NIKON's (mostly used for weddings) and of course I kept still "my good old" SLR 35 mm NIKON F3.

The Schmooze Award Winners

I’m so honored and excited to receive The Power of Schmooze Award a few days ago from Denny at Backwoods Drifter. This is the first time I ever got an award for blogging like this one!

The Schmooze Award is given to bloggers who get involved and make an effort to connect and get to know others in the blogosphere. When you receive this award, you are supposed to choose 5 other people who really help to grow the blogging community.

The prestigious Schmooze award goes to:

http://bloggingden.blogspot.com abhatnagar19 is a nice guy who helped me out with answering so many of my questions about blogging and blog sites.
