Week 3: Flickr Tools

Well today I tried out Flickr Color Pickr, Montagr, and Spell With Flickr. I did enjoy Flickr in the earlier lesson but can not say that I was impressed with the Flickr tools listed above; they did not seem to have any larger purpose other then being mildly entertaining. I did find Big Huge Labs’ to be a little more useful and did entertain myself there by making a badge for my dog Happy Jack. He enjoys finding cats hiding in the bushes and shadows during walks so now he has a badge certifying him as a feline detector. I am looking forward to the future lessons.

Happy Jack’s badge:
Blogspot does not appear to recognize the file from Big Huge Labs' with Happy's Badge. I'll be back to investigate this more when time is available.

Week 3: Flickr

http://www.flickr.com/photos/zelcam/61712909/
Hi all, I just got done poking around Flickr. There were many photos worth seeing, far more then I could possibly every have time to view. However I did find one to blog about. The link is above. The picture shows a small general aviation plane equipped with floats landing on a river or small lake in what appears to be an isolated location. I like the picture because of the questions and ideas it bring to my mind. It causes me to wonder about who is in the plane and what are they doing in such an isolated place that a plane is required to get to the location. Perhaps they are a couple coming up for romantic get away or a few buddies arriving for a week of hunting and fishing. Whoever they are seeking such a getaway I hope they enjoyed what they found.
