Very nice blog.

1. Content(writing styles, etc.)
I am a softy for blogs with photos. This blog speaks to my heart as I look at the beautiful photographs in it. There were a couple of them with flowers that just yanked on my heart strings, because at the moment we are awaiting the 4 feet of snow outside to melt, and looking forward to green and wildflowers again. The content in this blog is beautifully written and of course the breath taking photographs. It is a personal blog also so there is a variety of things to read and look at which I love to do.
2. Colors (eye-catching, blends, etc.)
I love polka dots... And the background of this blog has them... lovely!!!! The background chosen is in a deep dark blue with a variety of green, blue shaded dots, and it looks awesome. The dark blue used on the main content column blends well with the background and sets the stage for the beautiful photos found on this blog
3. Fonts (Background contrasts, etc.)
The fonts are very easy to read, and the perfect size that helps prevent eye fatigue which will encourage readers to delve deeper into the archives... Plus they are not bright white so they are not harsh and hard to read against the dark blue... Good Job!
4. Layouts (orderly, theme etc.)
The layout/theme works pretty well for this blog, but with the way the author writes and how the beautiful photos are presented, I wouldn't be surprised at all when the author decides to expand.
5. Navigational (working links. etc.)
The links that I clicked on all seemed to be in great working order, and I had no problem navigating the pages of this blog. I found it easy to find where to click when looking for the information offered on the blog, and the comments section.
Linda: You have such a wonderful blog. It may be brand new but it is full posts with the most breath taking photos, and you have a wonderful writing style that draws us readers into your posts looking for more. I loved reading it and look forward to more, and will be back.. I really enjoyed my visit. Awesome job! :)

Informative and interesting. I was born in Virginia and I enjoyed the peek at my home state through the eyes of the author.
The "how to navigate this blog" at the bottom of the page is a VERY good idea and something I think I might attempt to incorporate in some fashion on my own blog.
Keep up the good work!

Nice Blog you have there!
