Free Flickr

Thanks to the intrepid Kathy N. who showed me how to do this. After a search of many adorable dogs who did not have open access.  This picture is from Digital Wallpaper's.  Guess they want you to see it. 

Westie's are not shy, and have no real sense, like many small dogs, that they are small.  One westie of my acquaintance took on a dog nearly 12x her size when she was only five months old.  The older larger dog took the simple expedient of placing her paw in the middle of the upstart's back and pressing her spread eagle to the floor...until her owner quietly requested the puppy be released.  A wiser puppy.

reason I will avoid using flickr pics

I searched for pictures I liked.  Apparently I am as discriminating as the picture's owners:  All rights reserved. But you can click through for permission to use them. Prices start at just 5 USD. Sorry my allowance doesn't allow for that.

But I can let you link through and see what I had in mind.

I have been opposed to flickr till now.  I hate the idea of having all my personal stuff up on the web.  But now I can take photos of my art, label it innocently, 'painting of friend's dog' and sell the digital image rights.  What fun.

I found flickr slow.  I much perfer googling my topic and hitting image.  Tonnes of images.  With flickr it was look at a picture, very tiny, press to look at it in a larger format.  Wait, wait, wait for it.  On google images, run your mouse over the picture and whahoo, it gets bigger for you to see.

I enjoyed their tone in the rules for use: 

• Don’t be creepy.  You know the guy. Don't be that guy.
