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!
Nov. 22, 2008:
LavenderBay at
Voice of the Turtle
gave us a
Superior Scribbler Award. She likes our writing. P.S., we like her writing, too.

Sheila at

but through The Right Blue she gets to dive virtually.
She gave us an
"I Love Your Blog" Award to demonstrate her aloha. Thanks, Sheila. We love your blog, too.
Nov. 4, 2008:

We are truly touched and honored by her choice.
