First-thing-in-the-morning reads

Time magazine recently published a list of the so-proclaimed 25 best blogs of 2010 (needless to say, they’re all English... perhaps we could amend that to the 25 best English-language blogs? Naaw, North America has long forgotten there’s a world beyond...)

I have 5 blogs linked on my page, and I enjoy them so much that I want to briefly introduce each of them, in no particular order:

Coriolistic Anachronisms:

Vince is a photographer philosopher unless he is a philosopher photographer. He’s also a gifted writer, world traveler, computer and camera equipment maniac.

What you can mostly expect on his blog:
Wonderful photographs, food for thought, technical posts and Wisdom.


Morning Bray Farm:

Two burros and two donkeys live on a farm in New Mexico. Justina and Don, the owners, take great photographs of the daily life.

What you can mostly expect on this blog:
Plenty of donkey’s antics, wrapped in humor and tenderness.


The 7 MSN Ranch:

Out in the middle of a spectacular nowhere: one woman, one horse, two burros, one dog, one pig, five cats and the occasional visitor (snake, spider, lizard, varmin). Linda is professional-class photographer who truly has an eye for light and composition. She takes pictures that tell stories... those are the best.

What you can mostly expect on this blog:
A wonderful sense of humor, an inextinguishable love for animals, pet pictures that will make you dream, laugh or fall in love, and George and Alan, the two cutest asses on the planet.



Don Estorbo de la Bodega:

This is a black cat’s blog. A black cat with a strong accent and an attitude.

What you can expect on this blog:
A hilarious black cat with a strong accent and an attitude.


66 Square Feet:

Marie lives in a tiny apartment in Brooklyn. She mostly blogs about things that grow, cooking, and daily life in Brooklyn. She takes remarkable close-ups of plants and food. She’s well-read, outspoken, with a sharp and lively mind. Her blog has been acknowledged and nominated on several occasions.

What you can expect on this blog:
All about growing and identifying plants, delicious recipes, drinks and editorials.


Of course, there is some family connection (not that it influences my judgement in any way OF COURSE!). Vince is my brother, Marie my sister-in-law and Estorbo my cat-in-law. The asses, unfortunately, are not related.

So go visit, and enjoy!!
