Thing 5: Flickr



It was easy setting up a Flickr account because I just transferred my hotmail username and password to Yahoo (easier to remember). Now I need to take some photos, which means borrowing my husband's digital camera and downloading the pictures. I needed a nudge to learn this so I won't cringe when patrons ask me to help them. At Flickr, I uploaded photos my daughter took of lions in the Sabi Sands Reserve of South Africa, (our one and only family holiday). I nearly uploaded the photo of Cullin's Rainbow on the Isle of Skye(Thing 2) but decided against it. It was sent to me from a fellow tourist and since it is not my photo I won't send it out to the public. It can reside on my blog though since my NEFLIN colleagues won't rat on me.In the meantime, I found Flickr to be a repository of amazing photos. I found great photos of my old home town featuring the last giant grain elevator , and this time the photographer gave his blessing in an email to my Flickr account that I have his permission to display this great photo. So Florida, this is a western prairie grain elevator.
