So I joined Flickr but it's Always Crashing




 I went up to the mountains today and the road between Cloudcroft and Ruidoso was clear with snow all round.  When I stepped into the snow I was surprised to find out it was much deeper than I expected and I promptly fell down in it.





Had a Greek salad and shrimp jambalaya at the Rio Cafe Pizza place. Very good but next time I'll stick with the Portuguese soup which they have served since long before kale became so trendy.  I think they make the bread from pizza dough and I love it.

Got two tourist places to take my little prints.
My first venture into selling except at fairs etc.





Yes I inverted it.

Why not??

Trompe l'oeul?  I don't know.  Something like that.

Fotolog Farewell Again

I just signed up with Flickr.  I don't like iit.  I miss Fotolog which evaporated a couple of weeks ago.  I started uploading pics onto Fotolog in 2004 so a lot of my good photos are gone.  I still have most of the originals but I have thousands of stored pics sorted only by date (more or less).
I always thought the photo size on Fotolog was small, but compared to Flickr it was huge.  Perhaps I am misjudging Flickr but it seems the size of my uploaded photos are mini.  I suppose because we are all accustomed to squinting at our smart phone tiny images.  Oh well.  May be there is a way of viewing the photos bigger on Flickr and I just haven't figured it....

Farewell Fotolog.






 Dear Fotolog farewell.

Since 2004 
I have faithfully
posted my photographs
(the good,
the bad,
the mediocre)
on your
website.

 Nestled among the pneumatic breasts
and gaping blazing smiles,
my humble photographs
hid in plain sight.

Safe from scrutiny.

Perhaps I will pursue
my habit
on this blog

still safe from scrutiny.
