This award focuses on the friendships that blossom here in blog land. Blogs who receive this award are 'exceedingly charming' say it's authors. This blog invests and believes in the PROXIMITY-nearness in space, time and relationships. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this award.

I am honored to be one of the eight blogs picked by Kathy for this. I don't think I can name eight blogs to award, but here are a few whose blogs I love to visit:

Gerry at Global Swarming Honeybees
Sharon at Bees & Blooms
Hanna at This Garden is Illegal
Megan at Not Martha

All of the above bloggers post regularly and have generosity of spirit in how they share with the rest of us. Most of the regular posters on bee blogs I follow are written in Turkish or Greek so I will not list them here.

Thanks, Kathy, for thinking of me for this award.
