The Right Blue: Recognition and Reviews

Many thanks to these bloggers who wrote about
The Right Blue:

Jan. 2, 2009:
The Right Blue< is the recipient of a Van Gogh's Ear Award. Roger over at Idaho Photo created this award to give to "people who make a difference in the blogosphere." Roger further explains the name and purpose of the award: he chooses to bestow it on bloggers who are 'artists' in regard to their, writing, photography, and so on -- but who also "go a little crazy sometimes." Apparently Roger thinks that's all good, so we thank him for this unique award!
