The Black Wolf Blogger Award (Sparkles Version)
Marlyn Suarez-Exconde of Kintal.WordPress.com has kindly gifted me with the Black Wolf Blogger Award (Sparkles Version)
I think Marlyn’s introduction can’t be bettered. She writes
…..“This is a new award, it’s the first time i’ve seen it and i’d like to think that it has
…..something to do with the wolf’s positive symbolism: sharp intelligence, deep
…..connection with instincts, appetite for freedom, expression of strong instincts.
……….(at spiritanimal.info).”
So all that remains is for me to nominate a few likely looking candidates. I know that some of those whose sites I follow do not like to accept awards so I won’t nominate them here (unless in error). Conversely, I hope I don’t omit anyone in the mistaken belief that they do not entertain awards.

I do hope that whoever reads this will investigate at least some of the sites listed and that you will find there some posts to entertain and challenge you, just as I hope they will continue to entertain and challenge me. For which I am forever grateful.

Thank you. I greatly admire your site (as I am sure you will have recognised) but it ploughs a different furrow from the one the black wolf pursues. You are still featured in “Varying Vistas” though. 🙂

This is my second chance to advise you of your inclusion. Sorry for the delay, but my earlier comment was somehow not accepted by WP. Perhaps it’s stuck in your “spam”.
