Thank you Kim @ Tranquil Dreams  for giving me this great award! Check out her blog! I follow it because there are always so many interesting posts there on a variety of subjects, and I am very honored that she likes my blog too.

I am nominating:
The (Urban Wildlife) Interface because there are some amazing photographs there.
Finding Myself in Panama because I like this guy, and want to encourage him as a new blogger. His life is linked with mine, and as his blog develops I’m sure it will also be linked with mine for a male perspective on the experience of moving to Panama.
WTF is Photography, another new blogger and photographer because I like how he says it like it is, and he makes me laugh and think. I’m very interested to see his progress in both blogging and photography.
