Beautiful World is the blog that for the last eighteen months has given me encouragement and the pleasure of experimenting with my photography. I was therefore so excited when I read a post there this morning, discussing the blogs success and its statistics, to discover that two of my photos took first and second place as most viewed photos! Wow, what a surprise that was, I am so thrilled that I am sharing them here with you again today. The first one some of you may already have seen as it was one of the first photos I posted on this new blog.

The second placed photo was one from this series of four sunsets over Lago di Bolsena, I do not know exactly which one got the most views, but as they work as a set, sharing them all again.

ReplyDeleteThose top two places were gained on merit, purely that.
LindyLOuMac, what wonderful photos. These are all exquisite but the first is my favorite as it is so unusual and intriguing to me. It looks like some sort of sea creature. I find it amazing to think that it is a wildflower!!

ReplyDeleteExcellent captures.
ReplyDeleteI love the wild Clematis.
