I added a new Set to my Flickr account.
I took some pictures of embellishments I made yesterday and decided I should start documenting things I make, instead of not.
Here are a few of the images, go to the link above to see the whole Set on Flickr.
I have posted a picture of a feral kitten that is living in our backyard, the last post I made here, plus it’s on my Flickr site. Most of my pictures there have no comments and very few views. I don’t have anybody I know IRL that goes to my Flickr site and I have put some of my cat and sky pictures into groups, and gotten a few comments or less on them, until I put that nice picture of the black feral kitten into a group and thus far I have had 9 comments, and that’s nothing to most I bet, but for my pictures, it’s dynamite, it’s over-the-top, it’s phenom stuff. The picture has had 38 views and has been in my stream since Feb. 19, 2009, that’s 4 days total thus far. That’s a record for any of my pictures. I have put some pictures into a couple of groups, and not had any “bites” from one or the other, but in this case, I have had bites in both I put this picture in, as well as some new groups asking to put the picture in them. Bestofcats is the group I first have used, and have tried to get my kitties noticed there, but have had not much success, only one or two comments, and no way there to garner more with a 3 or 4 comments thread promote your picture to get more comments to get a 5+ comments award … another cat group has such a thing for 4 or more comments to garner more for an award, and for those pictures I have gotten 3 comments on one picture before, but never for bestofcats, until today. 
I hope to get more, am still waiting. We shall see if later tonight or tomorrow I can get more bestofcats comments.
My Flickr site is part of this blog, it’s the “My Photos (Albums)” PAGE. I use a plugin to put my Flickr photos here. You must have a Flickr account to comment on my Flickr photos, and you have to go to my actual Flickr page to input a comment for a photo, except for when I put one of those photos in a post on my blog, then you can comment here as a normal blog post will allow, but it’s not going to show up on Flickr, of course, in that case. FWIW
I was looking on Flickr.com yesterday and found a very nice picture that I immediately fell in love with, and that was part of a Set for that person’s Flickr account that has many pictures from the Oze National Park, which is in Japan.
I have never really sought out other’s pictures on Flickr very often, and for some reason which I can’t remember I found the seed picture that got me to the Set that I would love to have as a huge-format collage on my wall, the square thumbnails on the default Set’s page are so “everything” to me. Intense in color, but soothing, so calming, so …. “Zen” to me.
The picture that was the seed is entitled “sleeping cotton grasses”
and I have saved it as a Favorite on my Flickr account.
I looked later and found another Flickr account with an “Oze” set that was nice too, not as many pictures, the pictures very lovely, but still, the first Set I found beckons me in some unspeakable way that the second persons pictures do not.
No doubt to me it’s the focus of each picture, what the camera eye is beholding, how it centers in on and means to show a particular aspect of the view in front of it.
I love Monet paintings, and I viewed all those of the Set I first encountered with a Monet eye and long to see them depicted in a Monet style painting, as my Minds Eye created for each fantastic photo. Alas, I am no painter.
