Flickr, tagging and images, oh my!

First, the image (everyone say 'awww'):

Okay, now I'll start gabbing.

The above is from a needlework my mother did ages and ages ago. It's this big wildlife scene that's very detailed and sweet, with all different types of animals on it. The bunny happens to be my favorite one. Next image:

Some seasonal cuteness I did last fall. I discovered awhile back that I'm much better at smaller projects like this one because I actually stand a chance of completing them.

Now on to this weeks' assignments:

Though I have had a Flickr account for quite some time, I had forgotten about it. It was nice to re-visit and mess around with some of my pictures. Weird thing is that even though I reset my defaults to "anyone", as the assignment suggested, still some of my pictures were saying "visible to friends and family only". So I have to go to them one at a time and re-reset them individually I guess. Tagging was something I never thought of until I went through this assignment; it does make sense to put some kind of label on your images so if you want ONLY the shots of grandma but not the grand canyon, you can tag them as such and it will sort them out on a search.

I have played around before with a lot of the word imaging sites like Image Chef, etc... My personal favorite is Wordle, which creates word clouds out of your writing... it can be customized for font and color--just keep clicking! I had a lot of fun making my own mini lego guy too--there were WAY too many color and style choices, I could have played on that thing all afternoon.

Below I embedded a video of sorts onto this blog and it worked! Huzzah! Give a listen; it's truly one of the funniest things I've heard in the last year.
