    Congratulations on being Freshly Pressed!

    Your photos always look so great.

    Pansies are one of my favourite summer annuals and your photo shows my two favourite colour choices. My mom’s favourite were the yellow ones. 🙂

    Thanks everyone, for stopping by! What a thrill to be Freshly Pressed again, this time on my nature photo blog!

    I was actually on vacation in the Florida Keys when I was Freshly Pressed – you’ll hear more about this eventually, I’m sure – and I had no computer, just my Blackberry. Thus my delay with replying to comments.

    I didn’t want to stop my Post A Day commitment while on vacation, but I also didn’t want to be tied to blogging on vacation, so I created and scheduled posts until I’d be home. Imagine my surprise to see all of the comments at the end of the day on Mardi Gras and put two and two together to figure out I’d been Freshly Pressed!

    Again, thanks to all who have stopped by – what a treat – and I hope you’ll come back for more nature snapshots and color commentary!

    Cheers!
