Link Love

My Google Reader has 125 blogs on it currently.  I know, it's a lot.  I like to keep a rotating bunch of new finds in my blog reader so that I can find new things to read, new areas to explore, new inspirations for photography.  Just today I added 15 new blogs to my list.

While the list is long, there are just a few that have been on my list a long time, and those that when I am busy I will always read.  The others I skip or even delete entirely when they are no longer capturing my interest.

My current favorites:

http://shuttersisters.com, the collaborative photo blog that welcomes all women with a passion for photography from experts to amateurs alike. I love the people I have gotten to know through their photography, and this site inspires me everyday to take another photo.
...........................................................................................


http://www.soeursdujour.com, the sharing space of two sisters is full of colorful meaningful photography and stories of their lives.  It's a glimpse into two peoples lives and how they are intertwined.
...........................................................................................

http://smittenkitchen.com, I love her photos, her recipes and her descriptions of the good, the bad and the ugly of her recipe inventions.  These are not frou-frou recipes that you wouldn't dare attempt.  These are doable, drool-able and inspiring.
...........................................................................................

http://3191.visualblogging.com/index.html, I believe these two women started the visual blogging idea.  They are 3191 miles apart from each other and share snippets of their days on these opposite coasts in photography and writing.
...........................................................................................
http://giftsofthejourney.wordpress.com/, Elizabeth Harper writes from the Cornish coast of England.  I think I like her blog because it has always been a dream of mine to live in another country, especially in the outer edges of civilization.  She writes about her life with her husband (whom she met online while she lived in the US), and her excursions in the countryside around her home.  Photos included!
...........................................................................................
http://www.habitblog.com/habit/, Another visual blogging site that I've followed for years.  
These little snippets of life seem to draw me in.
...........................................................................................
http://julochka.blogspot.com/, Moments of Perfect Clarity is a beautiful blog of a woman in Denmark (she graciously corrected me!)  Her blog is full of color, stories of weaving, the village she lives in, the crafts she is making at the moment.  I think it's the colors and her tone of storytelling that keep bringing me back.
...........................................................................................

There are truly many many more that I read daily and with eagerness.  But not enough time or room to share them all here.

Okay okay, I'll share a few honorable mentions:
