Lensography of a New Squid

These lenses were experimenting with content, modules and html, it was a steep learning curve!

As I am English, I love weather! The science of it makes me marvel at how amazing our world is.

La Belle Epoque era fascinates me and these vintage posters of the time make me wish time travel was invented!

These three lenses are about wildlife and conservation groups locally to me. I am lucky to live in an area designated as an "area of outstanding beauty." More nature lenses are in the pipeline!

Reading is a big passion of mine and as I like to look at other people's booklists I thought I would create some of my own.

I adore clouds and think they are much overlooked! My lens Beautiful and Fascinating Clouds is very dear to my heart, I spent a lot of time working on this lens and I am very proud of it.

The Cloud Appreciation Society say that a sunny day is boring, clouds make our sky fun! And I quite agree, so I wrote this lens to do my bit in hopefully getting people to look up and notice clouds more in a good way. I was utterly over the moon with my first ever blessing for any lens from the marvellous lensmaster Kathy McGraw. Kathy also gave me great critique and help in polishing up this lens when it was first published, so I owe her a massive thank you!

Then as wonderful surprise WordCustard wrote about my lens in a review article, check out the link Squidoo Lens Reviews where you will find reviews for great lenses written by accomplished lensmasters on Squidoo.

This lens also came third in the Fresh Squid Contest! Fresh Wonders is a Ning group set up by a_willow who must be the busiest person I have ever (virtually!) met and is a great mentor to us newbies! There is a monthly contest for newcomers, known as Fresh Squids, each month. This group gives a huge amount of support and guidance to newbies, read more about Fresh Squids and Fresh Wonders at Fresh Squid Headquarters. This group is invaluable in helping new squids develop and learn on Squidoo, without it I would have felt very lost when I first joined.

Skiesgreen voted for The Wonder of Rainbows to be Lens of the Day, which was fantastic in itself. But then it actually became LOTD, I couldn't believe it!

So thank you skiesgreen, LOTD was an amazing experience.

I am over the moon that this lens was chosen to be LOTD, I thought I would never have a LOTD again because it is such a rare honour. So yippeee!

This lens was created to provoke a lively debate and it certainly did. It received many strong arguements for and against dogs, some pretty heated!
