We have many amazingly talented and creative fellow bloggers. I have never reblogged out of concern that each blog I follow is meritorious and I don’t like picking favorites. Please know if I follow your blog, I am an admirer. Sometimes though, our fellow bloggers, engage in such acts of kindness and prescience, that they have caused me to change my thinking, and engage, for the first time, in the art of the “reblog!” Today I will highlight three bloggers whose acts of creative kindness have blown me away.
Since I have never reblogged, I hope I don’t make too many mistakes.
First there is Russel Boyle. Russel is a poet who lives in Melbourne. When you go to his website, please be sure to look and listen to the poetry he has written on the right hand drop down menu, buried amongst all the other brilliant poets.
What particularly blew me away about Russel, was that he saw my most recent post about the friendly deer, recalled this poem and sent it to me. Not only was the poem an uncanny replication of my feelings encountering the deer, it was also amazing that Russel had this poem at the tip of his fingertips, like he does for hundreds of poets. He introduces me to new poets daily. Check out Russel, Mary Oliver, her poetry, and his.
Thank you I’ll try to read their poetry.

Oh good. It is special, just like you!
Oh, Cindy, you are a treasure and a joy for our blogging community! What wonderful post – I’m going to check out your reblogs. I’ve been on a huge project so now I’m back!!! Have a wonderful weekend – you have made mine pure sunshine!!!
You know Rebecca, that all pings back 2 u x 202! Karma is something you will welcome~
Hugs and more hugs….
I , too, was astounded at how this beautiful poem suited your photos so well. Bloggers are brilliant 🙂
They are indeed! Just like you my friend. Russel’s poetry has a gentleness of spirit that is quite remarkable~
Not simply your photos, of course, but your experience with the deer, as well.
That was just plain eerie. Mary Oliver went back for twenty years hoping to see those deer. People are so good~
I expect you will go back too but may be not throughout that long a period.
The poem is absolutely perfect – in itself – and as a companion to your lovely photos.
I agree, and am so impressed. Knew you would be too. Thank you~
Excellent reblog! Great addition to your beautiful pictures. 🙂
I agree with you and thank Russel Boyle for his encyclopedic knowledge of poetry!

I have already subscribed to Russel Boyle’s. I like his poetry.
Oh so glad. I love his work also. Spare beauty, vulnerability, and gentleness speak from him through his poetry. Thank you my dear for recognizing this~
