I am delighted to say I have been nominated for some more awards. I am deeply honoured by all the nominations from my blogging friends, new and old, and have great pleasure in passing these awards on to some very deserving bloggers I know; all of whom entertain, inform and often surprise with their extraordinary posts.
Awards seem to have become very popular once more. This is wonderful way of showing admiration for other blogs and introducing bloggers to each other, who might never have otherwise met. So click on some of the links and you just may find someone or something special, not previously discovered.
Some of you may notice I have nominated you before, and think I have forgotten this. I have not. I have nominated you again because I think you are worth it. 🙂

Thanks to Wolf is my Soul and Garry Rogers for this first nomination.
Carina, of Wolf is my Soul, is a never-tiring advocate for wolves and other animals. Her work here is exemplary and her heart is most certainly deeply embedded in the well-being of all animals. A very special blog indeed!
Garry, with his wonderfully varied and interesting blog, writes about nature, nature conservation and science fiction. Garry also ‘scoops’ some amazing wildlife articles here at Scoop It

My pleasure, Garry. You have certainly brightened my day, too. I am thrilled you have finished AND liked Mungai, and really look forward to hearing your thoughts. Thank you so much ~ Amelia 🙂 🙂 🙂
Amelia dear, I envision all the animals on Earth holding their hands, paws, tails, wings and fins in a circle celebrating.
