Versatile Blogger Award again, thank you!

Blogger Otove has been so kind to nominate me for the Versatile Blogger Award. Thank you so much!

Here are the rules of the Versatile Blogger Award (they are versatile again, compared to the last time that my blog got this award):

1. In a post on your blog, nominate 10 fellow bloggers for The Versatile Blogger Award. 2. In the same post, add the Versatile Blogger Award. 3. In the same post, thank the blogger who nominated you in a post with a link back to their blog. 4. In the same post, share 10 completely random pieces of information about yourself. 5. In the same post, include this set of rules. 6. Inform each nominated blogger of their nomination by posting a comment on each of their blogs.

UPDATE: people are also supposed to link to the blog which nominated them, and to the blogs which they in turn nominate. Sorry, I should have been clearer about that.

I have nominated the following 10 blogs:

1 Sharmishtha Basu’s poetries
2 urbanperegrines
3 My Botanical Garden
4 Passing Through
5 metaretriever
6 L’amore e forte come la morte
7 Russel Ray Photos
8 photobotos.com
9 Lesley Carter
10 Mazzarella Photo

And here are ten random pieces of information about myself:

1 I have two eyes, one nose, and one mouth.
2 I love birds.
3 I love other animals (like amphibians, mammals, etc.) as well. But often, they are more difficult to spot than birds.
4 I have forty subjects at my blog. When I don’t feel like blogging on one particular subject, there’s always the other 39 🙂
5 I have traveled to quite some places.
6 I still remember fondly many of them; including especially the Antarctic.
7 I have never been in the USA … well, just once, for five minutes. The ferry from Vancouver island in Canada to Vancouver city in Canada passes through a bit of United States territorial waters.
8 I saw killer whales from that ferry.
9 Sometimes, I use my binoculars not for birds, but for (very amateurish) astronomy.
10 Yesterday, a ring-necked parakeet flew not far away from my window.
