Thanks to June for the Butterfly Award

Thanks to June for giving my blog the Butterfly Award above. Awardees must pass the award along to a new list. So, I created a blog roll on the sidebar that has my list of nominees. You can access their latest posts there. I have annotated the list below:

Nature Remains
Lovely photography and prose about nature.

Dawn's Bloggy Blog
A couple are motorhoming their way across America looking for a place to settle. Fascinating and makes one want to take off right now!

Nature Tales and Camera Trails
Great photos of birds and wit from this New Brunswick blogger.

Monarch's Nature Blog
The mother of all nature blogs--the one that first inspired me to do my own blog. Great photos from a field biologist from upstate New York.

Mountain Naturalist
While there are infrequent posts, it's worth the wait to read some great posts by our most renowned local naturalists in southwest Virginia.

Mary's View
I love the photos and reading about the posts from this North Carolinan blogger.

Let's Paint Nature
The Chicago Nature Lady teaches how to do watercolor painting of nature step by step.

A Passion for Nature
I have learned a great deal about natural phenonmena from this naturalist from New York. She truly has a passion for nature.

A Little Piece of Me
Lots of great photos and views from my fellow southwest Virginian nature blogger.

Now, these bloggers should pass on the award by following these rules I got from June:

2. Add a link to the person who awarded you
3. Nominate other blogs for this award (about 10).
4. Add links to those blogs (I did this thru blog roll on sidebar).
5. Leave a message for your nominees on their blogs (have to do this yet!:)
6. Give a reason why you consider their blogs cool.
