T...Thanks for your comments on my previous posts. <br />Tim and I accept your compliments on our photography skills, but it sure helps to have such spectacular subject matter! <br />As for your run-in with the mountain goat—all hoofed mammals can be aggressive and unpredictable. But it's great to see threatened or endangered species in the wild.<br /><br />One of the wonderful things about blogging is making international friends. I'm glad that my blog has introduced you to US travel, places and experiences. And I've learned so much about India by reading your blog! <br />Thanks for being a loyal reader, Soumyendu!One Day in Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908834658716123640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975306347330050350.post-33200833122216968932016-03-18T05:33:41.675-07:002016-03-18T05:33:41.675-07:00It has always been a pleasure going through your b...It has always been a pleasure going through your blog Rita! From your fav five, I could immediately recall the redwoods post. The pictures in your New Mexico Wildlife Refuge post are absolutely stunning and so are those in the story about the windswept sandstone hills. I did not read that mountain goat story before, it was quite heartwarming to see that the lambs managed to survive :)<br /><br /><br />Soumyenduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02586465804913627495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975306347330050350.post-9759526478065532482016-03-17T20:16:27.697-07:002016-03-17T20:16:27.697-07:00I have to admit that it was difficult to pick five...I have to admit that it was difficult to pick five favorites when I'm kind of partial to all my posts!<br /><br />I'm happy to hear that my blog has enabled you to vicariously experience travel in the western US. I hope you and Cheri are able to have some real-life experience with western travel someday as well.<br /><br />One of the unexpected benefits of this blog has been the cultivation of new online friends like you, John!<br />Thanks for being a faithful follower.<br /><br />Here's to five more years of blogging for both of us!One Day in Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908834658716123640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975306347330050350.post-54479666673002923962016-03-17T18:13:19.160-07:002016-03-17T18:13:19.160-07:00What a fantastic idea, Rita, to spotlight five of ...What a fantastic idea, Rita, to spotlight five of your favorite blogs to commemorate the fifth anniversary of your blog. And what I find even more fantastic is how you were able to narrow the selection to just five. That is an amazing feat unto itself!<br /><br />Regardless, even though your blog transports readers to many regions of America, I especially enjoy your postings about your travels in the Western U.S. Since I've yet to take time to explore this region of our country, your blog serves as a superb resource for me to vicariously experience this region's awesome beauty. Your eloquent narratives and exquisite photos truly stir the soul!<br /><br />As Vickie said, it was indeed great fun to re-read the five posts that you selected. And, I also want to piggyback on her closing sentiment of "Here's to 5 more!!" Bravo!<br /><br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975306347330050350.post-88938842903691661612016-03-17T12:49:40.043-07:002016-03-17T12:49:40.043-07:00Vickie, I'm thankful that our mutual blogging ...Vickie, I'm thankful that our mutual blogging class enabled me to have gotten to know you. I consider you a new-found friend and kindred spirit!<br /><br />I'm also thankful to have had you as a regular follower of my blog over the past five years (wow, has it really been five years?!). I wonder if Melanie is still teaching beginning blogging?<br /><br />Thanks as always for your kind words and encouragement, Vickie!

Reading these posts again was great fun, and I bet our blogging instructor would be thrilled to see how high you've soared since that class. :)<br /><br />Here's to 5 more!!<br />VickieVickie Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04935525489196514927noreply@blogger.com
