Things 5, 6, and 7

Exploring Flickr was a lot of fun. I have used photo upload and storage sites before - there are two weddings, a couple of trips, and many photos of the grandchildren on Snapfish. Flickr lets you do many of the same things, but has lots of additional options to tempt you to play with pictures, colors, etc. Of course I signed up for a free account and added some pix of weddings, grandchildren and grandcats.

Then I started to explore the dozens of things one can do with pictures. I looked at the Librarian Trading Cards, mosaics, and programs that make animations out of your photos (that one was a little too flashy and gave me a headache) but my favorite is the tool that lets you spell out anything using photos of letters in Flickr. You type whatever it is you want to say and the letters that form the words are taken from images in the Flickr database - if you don't like a particular letter click on it and a different photo will appear. Keep clicking until you get the letters you like.
