Choosing my buddy icon for Flickr took quite a bit a time...not because the process was difficult, but because I got bogged down reminiscing over scads of photos on my computer.
I think the idea of tagging makes complete sense. By linking each picture with certain key words or comments, I can pull them all up very easily for future reference. I sort of have my email accounts at work set up that way, so the notion transposes easily within my mind.
I was a bit leary of putting my pictures on display for anybody and everybody. I think it's because I don't feel like I have control over them once they are out there in the public web. I guess I have to keep telling myself to "think globally."
Here's a link to my photo stream on Flickr. The photos that I have posted are from my August, 2009 trip to Bermuda. We've been four times and it just keeps getting better...more expensive, too.
My husband and I went snorkeling at one of the top beaches on the island, Smith's Bay. I found this underwater hole in the rock formations and submerged so that Rodger could get a photo of me peeping through. It took us 5 or 6 attempts because I kept floating back up. I finally just grabbed onto the rock and held myself in place, just long enough for him to snap the shot.
The 2-3" long Silversides (a minnow-like bait fish) made a huge, swirling tornado around me. It was so thick that I couldn't see the bottom or straight ahead. It was one of my favorite adventures despite the fact that it was unnerving and disorienting, at the time. I had to wait until they cleared away, before proceeding out to the reef. The whole time I was in there, I kept thinking, "Man, I hope nothing decides to eat them for lunch; because he'll get more than he bargained for, when he finds me in the middle."
Please go check out my other photos that offer just a hint of the glorious colors from God's own pallet, on the beautiful island of Bermuda!
