Bloggers~

This post, of photos taken in and around Greece, is dedicated to you. Opa!

Creativity is one of the most personally helpful gifts a person can possess.


It gets you through all sorts of negative situations, because it pulls you out of yourself, and your individual worries and concerns.

I think the willingness of bloggers to put their creativity out in the universe, consistently, in a blog, is a huge act of individual human courage.

This individual blogging courage and creativity results in a blogsphere replete with fascinating, absorbing and intriguing blog posts, that offer an improved reading and viewing experience, that is a refreshing alternative to mass media.

Being part of a worldwide community of talented and supportive bloggers broadens our horizons and perspectives, and enhances our lives.

It enables bloggers to form genuine friendships with like-minded people from all over the world.

I wanted to take time to let you know how much I admire and respect you, and how grateful I am to be part of your community.

You make my life, and the lives of so many others, much richer!

So here’s to you, and to the enjoyment you provide to those who look at your blogs!

Cheers to you from The Holler (and Opa to you from Greece!)

  1. HI Cindy, I was so happy to see Corfu because I read a story about Gerald Durrell who spent some of his youth there after his father passed away.

  2. Wonderful series of images, Cindy. I especially liked the ones of Corfu (reminding me of my week there in the 1970s). Such beautiful colours and quaint cobblestoned streets. The scene from the top (?) of Santorini with the sea in the background is stunning.

  3. All of them Absolutely Stunning Cindy! The first that caught my attention right away was the buildings with the Wisteria! However, I could easily comment on ALL of them, but you would be reading all night long! 🙂 Wonderful !!

  4. Aww….Opa to you, my friend! You have mastered art of observation. I believe photography choose you for all your spectacular photographs and interesting commentaries.

  5. Thanks for those outstanding photos! They are also to you, as a blogger, besides all other bloggers, for posting creativity, dreams and travel in images. Keep on with the great and inspiring work!

  6. Very well said, and well photographed as usual. I visited Santorini all too briefly ages ago. It’s a place I’d like to sit, read (blogs), and contemplate existence sometime.

  7. Just when I was feeling down I saw this post and immediately my sense of joy came flooding back – all gloom gone! Thank you so much Cindy! Gorgeous Photos and the sentiment about bloggers is awesome! Karen 🙂

  8. Reblogged this on Stories and more and commented:
    I simply had to share this brilliant post by an amazing blogger and more importantly a wonderful person – Cindy. I am a huge fan of her photographs, captions, views, thoughts, kindness, generosity…

  9. Delightful post all around, Cindy! It’s so amazing to be connected to so many wonderful, talented bloggers — and to see bits of the world through their eyes. I need to visit Greece now, ha!

  10. “This individual blogging courage and creativity results in a blogsphere replete with fascinating, absorbing and intriguing blog posts, that offer an improved alternative reading and viewing experience, that is a refreshing alternative to mass media.”- this reminds me why we are blogging at the first place.Thanks a lot!

    1. We actually perform a very important function. I understand that newspapers and magazines have falling readership problems because so many people are reading blogs. Editors and mass media writers read our blogs to get ideas for stories.

  11. This place, this electronic world, it’s like being on a big ship travelling all over with “persons of interest” in the detective story of life, unearthing all sorts of mysteries, solving the problems of stability vs adventure, education vs learning, providing for the future vs living in the moment, the passing of time vs experience preserved and then shared. It is tempting to trade the real world for this one. I’m resisting, as Wallace Stevens said about poetry and the intellect, “almost successfully.”

    These photographs are treasures, Cindy. Thank you for your very good work, including the compact explanations and insightful commentary.

  12. It’s a gorgeous truth in words that accompanies your wonderful photos you are sharing!
    Thank you for being a blogging pal of mine!

  13. I heartily concur. And the same back to you. As for the beautiful shots, thanks a lot, now there’s yet another place I have to go. (Ok, I’ve been to Corfu, but that was ages ago.)
