Addicted to Flickr

I’m not sure who’s worse, but both my wife and I have an addiction to Flickr. We’ve both been getting into photography more – me with my Nikon N80, and her with the Nikon D70 that I bought for her for Christmas, and Flickr has provided us a chance to put our stuff out there.

It’s great meeting the others on the site, checking out the pictures and getting feedback on your own stuff. Now, we take pictures and can’t wait to see if there is anything worth posting.

Plus, I’ve been getting into some of the adjuncts of the site, such as geotagging and some of the search functionality programs/hacks. One new one that I found was the Flickr Related Tag Browser (horrible name, cool program), which gives a cool search function and viewer. I also still like Flickr Graph for a relationship API. There’s a ton of great stuff out there and I’ve only just scratched the surface.

I found this baby cardinal in our front yard, although its nest was in the back yard, so I carried it back (yes, this time I thought it was warranted, unlike the last time, when I might have been too gung ho).

Unfortunately, we think that this little guy may have met an untimely fate at the hands (paws) of our neighbors cats. I’m going over later to ask them to put a bell on – this wouldn’t be the first bird/small furry animal they’ve killed in our yard, but this is the one that really saddens me since we’ve been watching it since it first left the nest.
