Nice matters

It’s official. Nice really does matter. And apparently, I’m nice.

nice award

People who know me well might be shocked to hear me described that way, but it’s not me, it’s my blog that’s nice. Over at Rashbre central, I’ve been given me a Nice Matters Award which I think is pretty nice, especially as Rashbre called my photographs

sumptuous photographic experiments

I was totally chuffed, especially as I’ve been a bad blogger recently. But it’s given me a much needed kick up the arse, (and yes, that stiletto heel was painful.)

So here’s my nice list:

Simply wait - beautifully executed slices of life from a published novelist.

Field notes - poetry and knitting from an archaeologist. What more could you want?

Writing fiction - advice, opinion and information from someone who knows what he’s talking about.

femme au foyer - an Brit on life in France - with bonus French lessons.

PA Moed - musings on life and great recipes.

A writer, reloaded - Sam Hilliard’s journey to get a novel published, and other stuff.

Photosensitive - film and digital, with tips on how to make black and white slides.

So dear recipients, it’s your turn. I’d love it if you chose 7 blogs that you think deserve a “Nice Matters”award and keep the ball rolling.

The original award banner is available here or if that’s too pink for you the one Rashbre made is here.

  1. Debra - a) well deserved and b)thanks for ‘passing this along’!

    As an antidote to ’sumptuous photography’, my little experiment with the StarCam “Starbucks Coffee Cup Camera” has now taken to the streets of London. Although the underlying engine is a digital camera, you can see I’ve managed to reduce the photographs to the level of blurred “grabs” in the excitement of trying to make this work.

    And that doesn’t count the several shots I took with my thumb over the lens! enjoy (?)

  2. Debra, you most definitely deserve this! I adore your photos; they seem effortless, never forced or over the top. And thanks for including me in your list of nice!
