I know that my photographs are the single most popular feature of this blog. My Flickr site gets even more traffic than this blog.

If you enjoy my photography here, or on Flickr, please consider nominating this blog for the “Best Photography” category of the 2008 Mouse & Trowel Awards:

The Mouse & Trowel Awards were created by freelance writer and garden blogger Colleen Vanderlinden to honor and reward excellence in online gardening. Awards for a variety of blog and website categories, as well as podcasting awards, are awarded every May after nomination and voting phases.

Quickly dubbed “the Mousies” by the garden blogging community, the Mouse & Trowel Awards earned a fair share of acclaim in 2007, with multiple write-ups in the Detroit Free Press, on several websites and blogs, and mentions on garden-related podcasts.
