My blog was featured as site of the day recently on Michele Agnew's blog (thanks, Michele!!!). I wanted to show my appreciation to those that commented, here tis:

1. First was Mamacita, who is also a Snape fan!

2. Next was Heather, who I miss very much

3. Malinda777 liked my photos, which makes me smile.

4. mar said she's never seen buckets on trees; click here to see why it's done!

5. margalit's also from the Boston area

6. Jamie stopped by and liked the doggies!

7. Linda stopped by and renamed me Judy!

8. And Karen continued the trend :-)

9. Michele with ONE l was next and laughed at my new name ;-)

10. Leanne said she liked the maple shot; coming from another artist, woohoo!

11. Jennie thought my pictures were beautiful! I like Jennie! We share a favorite movie, Jennie; I also love Spirited Away!

12. Azzy commented next; we used to work together and shared a love of Lord of the Rings, men in uniform and the ocean to name just a few things. I miss her!

13. Kenju, who is a florist, wife, mother, grandmother stopped by, too! Where does she find the time?!

14. Shannon, who lives where she can get Yuengling anytime she likes, liked Wolf best--so do I (don't tell Max!!!)

15. Lilred, a life-long fun seeker (my kind of chick!) thinks my dogs are gorgeous! Me, too!

16. Heather came back to congratulate me for being Michele's site of the day! Thanks!

17. Juggernaut put the words fantastic, your and photos in a sentence...I LIKE her!

18. Carl V. stopped by and as usual said terribly nice things. He has a fantastic blog and a beautiful family :-)

19. Laura, who I FINALLY got to see a picture of, and OMG she has the most beautiful hair came by next.

20. intuitivewoman, who has a picture of a lightning bolt on her blog, also thought my dogs were beautiful :-)

21. chelle, who shares an obession with Stephen King with me; plus, the girl loves flip flops!

22. Courtney, whose blog, Midvale School for the Gifted, is also the slogan on one of my most favorite t-shirts!

23. Susan, who'd like to adopt Wolf (afraid you'll have to fight that one out with a certain someone ;-)

24. Krista, who I didn't think liked me in the least, and is now a good friend and fantastic artist

25. Cin, who asked me what I thought of Shakespeare's Trollop; must admit I put it down unfinished. I loved Charlaine Harris's vampire series, tho!

26. Another Michele with one l, who, ewwww, talks about spiders on her blog, YUCH!

27. Then there's DebR, who is addicted to shoes and who shares my love of the movie, Groundhog Day. She also likes tarot!

28. My cousin, Maribeth, told me I was getting far too popular...it's only cause of Michele Agnew!

29. Ash, whose friend did a cruel thing to her and then would not tell her why, which also happened to me recently, altho that person did tell me why, eventually. Ash created a beautiful piece of art from her experience.

30. Leigh, who inspired me to buy a new camera, altho, in my paranoia, I still think she secretly laughs behind her back at me (kidding) (kinda) (mostly) ;-)

31. Paige, whose comment was brief and concise and who writes beautiful poetry on her blog

32. archshrk, whose blog quote: "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose" is very inspirational to me and who is also a damn good photog (look at that cloud picture!!!)

33. Michelle with TWO l's, aka smoochie, who accompanies me to Grendel's and helps me hang my pictures. What would I do without you???

34. killired, who has the cutest lil minpin!

35. Thumper, who recently “celebrated” the cat’s birthday...hey, why not? I know someone who has a tattoo of Thumper (the bunny, not the blogger) on her posterior...just sayin'!

36. Nina, who's from the neighboring state of NH and lives in the peace and quiet there. I'm jealous!

37. Colleen, whose blog I discovered awhile ago and who used to live up around this neck of the woods, but also now lives in the peace and quiet (but not in NH)

38. Then Carl V. came back when he discovered I was Michele's site of the day!

39. Debby, also known as Laura's better half, stopped on by and made me smile

40. Joe, whose blog I'd never seen before, and who is a political consultant, stopped by, too

41. T's a cutie I know from Deb & Laura. I keep meaning to take a picture of a sign for her, and damnit, I'll do it tomorrow, I swear!

42. Jen asked, "What kind of camera are you using and do you have any photography training?" I've got two cameras I'm using nowadays, a Sony DSC-717 and a Canon 20d; I don't have any formal training, but I was married to a guy who went to the Mass College of Art and he taught me what he learned...

43. OceanLady, who thinks my dogs are buff...if by buff you mean in shape? HAHAHHAA!

44. atpanda, who is also of the opinion that Alan Rickman is awesome AND she likes Dogma (GREAT movie!). I hope she had fun cruising around my site :-) I know I'll visit hers, she's a photography student!

45. peri, who also shares my fondness for gardening, travel, photography and cooking

46. Lauren, my co-worker who I introduced to the world of blogging. She gives me pep talks about my photography and wants to buy one of my pictures :-)

47. Last, but certainly not least, Gina, who inspired me to get my Sony DSC-717, and who is an AMAZING photographer!

well, howdy hi. here from michele's.

you are SO not funny......

I 'ave no secrets! OOops I mean I don't secretly laugh. I think your photos RAWK!

:-)

Hi and thanks for visiting my site today. I love the Harry Potter books, but I guess we'd be on different sides cause Snape is so not my favorite person right now :)

*blush* Thank you so much, you're pretty awesome yourself :

I'm so happy that you got picked! And, hold a sec...you got a 20D? How'd that happen? I thought you got a 350D. I must be a loon.

Happy Thursday!

They look like they are pumped up - muscle dogs. They look in shape and alert. lol I needed that laugh. Thanks. :)

Very nice, a great thank you to all of us. Thank you for the very nice words about me and my fam. I will endeavor in the future to mix in a few nicely terrible things just to break the monotony.

Awww.... I do miss you too mon amie! I hope you are having a better day.

Thank you very much for the shout out! And keep up the great blog!

I bought it and LOVE IT! I showed it off today at the gym when I posted your flyer and everyone loved it and loved your pictures in your flyer. Don't be surprised if you get a call. My mom loved the picture. When I told her you took it, she said, she took this actual picture? see what an amazing artist you are?

PS...can I borrow your picture from flickr and post it on my blog so I can write an entry about it?

I have never seen such appreciation!! You rock!!!

That is so nice of you to post this post! It's one of the sweetest posted posts I've ever read, post-haste! Thank you.
