It is truly such an honor that any fellow bloggers would even consider me worthy of a nomination for a Blogger Award.
As a new blogger, one of my quickly made friends nominated me for The Versatile Blogger Award, but I must confess as a newbie I let this great blogger Stopping the Wind down, and for that and to her I deeply apologize. But then lo and behold another kind blogger has recently nominated me for The Versatile Blogger Award. Thank you so very much Icklekins for the kindness and the award. As a Versatile Blogger Award nominee, I also thank the person who created and maintains this peer Award.
These are the rules of the award, as listed on the VBA Rules page:
If you are nominated, you’ve been awarded the Versatile Blogger award.
Thank the person who gave you this award. That’s common courtesy. Include a link to their blog. That’s also common courtesy.
Next, select 15 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly, and nominate those 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award. Include a link!
Finally, say 7 things about yourself.
In considering 15 fellow bloggers that are most certainly worthy a VBA, I’ve been blessed with many new followers. I hope to share with you other bloggers that I find are interesting and prolific in their postings. So here it goes – there are so many fantastic bloggers out there. Here they are in no particular order:
1.) Stopping the Wind – Well, you knew you would be first right? A woman’s journey to self actualization through her efforts to be able to travel to Peru and hike to Machu Picchu.

3.) 1001 Scribbles – Portuguese photographer with a travel theme.

13.) Jack Elliott’s Santa Barbara – I have huge hiking terrain envy as he is based in California.
14.) Maggie Moosetracks – Lovely dog blog.
15.) Hound in Hanoi – Dogs & Horses? Who can go wrong?
Next: Seven Things about myself:
1.) I’m so ready to hike the Inca Trail, my trip can’t happen soon enough.
2.) I love my horse Remy Martin and my blog is named after her.
3.) I have too many hobbies and it’s hard to keep things in control.

You are so sweet Mabry ! Truly your work is some of the best that I see out there, so perhaps you can quit your day job. 🙂
Thanks for sharing – Have a Great Weekend:)
Thank you so much for mentioning 1001 Scribbles =) I’m Portuguese, however, not Brazilian 😛
Discuple Ana Lucia ! I’ll go and correct that right now. Thanks for reminding me where and who you really are. 🙂
No problem at all… You’re not the first 😀
It’s my pleasure!
But of course ! I enjoy your blog as it brightens my day.
You are nominated for a Kreativ Blogger Award. Enjoy!
You are so very kind Dr. Dan! I just wanted to double check, in visiting your page in regard to the award nomination, I didn’t notice Hoofbeats & Footprints listed. Wanted to make sure you were wanting for me to receive this nomination. Thank you! Bella
Ah, So ‘Bella’ is in reference to your beautiful horse! Can’t wait to savour your pictures from the Inca trail.
Congratulations Bella 🙂
LOL ! Yes indeed Madhu. Bella “Pretty” Remy as my mare’s name is Remy Martin. But you can call me Emily. 🙂
Inca trail was done this past May, but seems like a lifetime ago.
