Butterflies are Free ... or Freedom ... or ...

Lori of the Skoog Farm Journal granted me this wonderful Butterfly Award, Thank you Lori! If you have not read her blog, please take a look-see. She and her husband Gary keep horses, a dog, a cat (who seems to have them), and grow flowers, vegetables, and the best garlic I have ever tasted. Lori is addicted to photography and life.

I like to share my thoughts, but I love to read the thought and daily travels of others. Life is full when we choose it to be so, no matter our circumstances. And, if my reading is any indication, there are a lot of bloggers who have chosen fullness. To all who pass by thanks for coming, and to all I pass by, thanks for being there.

Now, it is time to pay some butterflies forward.

Ken Mac of Greenwich Village Daily Photo offers up the best of the Village and beyond. I am particularly fond of his road trips and architectural delights. And, every once in a while, he inserts a human to provide context. Ha!

San's A Life with a View mixes art with life in a riot of colorful canvases, people, emotions, and open-eyed joy! Read her blog and you not only know just how she feels, but may actually feel her vibe coming in from the desert.

Cherie over at Baba Yaga's Mirror is another lover of horses who captures photos full of quiet beauty, and has this surprising, full-throated spirituality that just makes my day.

Lori stole Esther over at Ishtar News, AND Rebecca at Just a Thought, and Spartacus Jones does not do such things, so I'll close by saying, "Life is like (fill in the blank).
