hpy said...: Kollaaseja on kiva tehda, ja kaiken lisaksi jos niita tekee ei tarvitse valikoida vain yhta kuvaa monen joukosta. Joskus voi tosiaan olla vaikea tietaa, ottaako ensimmaisen, toisen, kolmannen vaiko vaikkapa neljannen tai viidennen kuvan samasta aiheesta...

Sammaleet ovat kauniita lahikuvassa.; 22 April 2009 at 10:12
Zilga said...: OOO! mikä kuvakavalkaadi taas ihailtavanamme.

George said...: Thanks for sharing these beautiful collages with us.; 23 April 2009 at 02:52
Judy said...: I never realized there were so many kinds of lichens and mosses!! I like the way you have made them into a collage, rather than posting the photos one after another. It seems so fitting to the subject.
The first full size photo - I have been trying to figure out what it is, to no avail! Can you give me a hint?; 25 April 2009 at 01:15

Sain tämän arvonannon, joka tarkoittaa 'blogisi on timantti' blogista Nousee päivä, laskee päivä
Kaunis kiitos!

I got this award from Today's Blah. A very beautiful gesture. Much appreciated. Thank you!

Sain upealta taiteilijalta Zilgalta tämän tunnustuksen. Olen otettu.

Thankyou Pacey

Valkyrien of Norway made me a hot blogger by this award

Thankyou dear friend. I must take care not to burn my fingers while writing :)

Oh please do not think I gave myself an award, even if I did start this one. There is a limit to my vanity. No, it was dear Pacey from Today's Blah that wanted to give this same award back to me as what I gave to her. So I made it as well as received it.
At leats that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I got this nostalgic award from Zilga

Thank you dear blog friend
