Sharla (Catnip of Life) has put forward my blog as one of the most influential blogs of 2012. The One thing I have never looked at, was for my blog to be influential. I am more than honoured and humbled that anyone would think so. I enjoy what I do and I enjoy sharing my photos and poetry.
There are no rules for this award. The blogs that influenced me, and the ones that I believed have influenced others as well are:

Pingback: A.W.A.R.D.S | The Green-Walled Tower
Pingback: Most Influential Blogs of 2012. | Simple.Interesting.
