A strange thing happened ....

26 Nov 2008 103
I wasn't expecting to find a strange jump in the number of my photos that are actually IN Explore this morning. The most I have ever had in Explore at any given time was 45 (a few days ago) - usually, almost every single photo I post, that does happen to get into Explore, falls out immediately, LOL. I can see two new ones that would bring it up to 47, but the other five are older Explore photos that have reappeared. I posted this for my own records - I have always had a fascination for keeping records of things, in general, so this is just for my own interest and curiosity : ). No need AT ALL to comment - though I would be interested to know if anyone else has had a similar thing happen to them this morning, LOL. And, of course, if you should happen to read this, please know that I REALLY appreciate every single one of you who has taken the time to stop and look at my photos!!! Thank you! 1.

IN flickr today: just for my own record

I've only ever once before had 42 photos actually IN Flickr at the same time, so thought I'd keep this in my records. Comments not needed : ). Thank you all, however, for helping get these photos into Flickr in the first place : ). Much appreciated!

LOL, I give up! I had been waiting and hoping that just one more of my photos that ended up in Explore the last few days would make it to the poster, to get those three full lines. Totally out of luck! There always seems to be an invisible "cap" of 23 of my Explore images displayed at any one time! However, thought I'd keep a record of this poster that shows the two brightly coloured Tulip images, as my posters are usually rather pale and colourless :) Thank you all so much, as always, for taking the time to check out my photos, leave comments, make Faves or give an invite! So very much appreciated! I also apologize for having to cut way back on the number of hours I sit at my computer, as my kneecaps are being pulled sideways out of place and sitting for so long is not only very painful but also damaging. I do still browse, but have had to limit myself, especially when it comes to comments, etc. I never just make a photo a Fave, but may eventually have to resort to that, at least for a whiIe. I appreciate your patience! 1. Enjoying the sun , 2. Alone , 3. Colours of spring , 4. Magnificence , 5. One , 6. Flicker Beauty , 7. Down by the river , 8. There's no time like snow time , 9.

Funny how things work! I'll have to try that again sometime - make a comment about how there seems to be an invisible "cap" of 23 of my Explore photos displayed at any given time. Lo and behold, maybe half an hour later, I finally have reached 24! Thanks everyone, including whoever it was who pushed my last little Chickadee back into being displayed :) 1. Enjoying the sun , 2.

Happy Christmas and thanks, fd!

Thank you SO much, fd, for this wonderful surprise this morning!!! You obviously knew that we all dreamed of seeing ALL our photos in Explore and this is the very next best thing!! What an extremely thoughtful idea! You have brought so much enjoyment for months to so many people with your clever, creative "toys". I know that I am definitely one of those people. However, from the heights of happiness, I have plunged to the depths of disappointment, because I clicked on "Turn off Christmas Scout"(?) just to have a quick look to see which of my photos were in Explore today, and then I couldn't see any way to return to the most attractive Christmas poster. Actually, you might just be responsible for an Internet crash, as I can't even access Scout at the moment! Congratulations and thanks for such a kind and much-enjoyed idea! 1.
