Garden geek nominated in National Blog Awards

It is a pleasure for my blog Garden Geek be be nominated for category of "Best Photo Blog" in Pakistan's First National Blog awards. Although my blog is not specifically a photo blog, there was no category related to gardening or environment so i went for nearest category that is best photo blog. I did ask the organizers of Google Pakistan and CIO pakistan to have a category for gardening and environment but no avail yet. Probably they know mine would be the only blog in the category :P

When i competed for Blotanical awards 2009 for Best Container gardening blog i was not even sure i would be in top five but thanks to your support, i was number 5. I hope my blog will be among best chosen in photo blog category in my country's national blog awards.

This is my first visit to your blog - I was so impressed with your first page, I read thru the archives. Great work and fabulous pictures. My daughter is a photographer, so I know how hard it is to get the perfect shot. Do you have a Flickr page too? You can visit my daughter's at http://www.flickr.com/photos/littlethingscreatecharacter/. I will be back because I want to talk to you about some of your plants:)
