I just created a group called FLICKR UNITED. Everybody is free to join!
It is meant to be for the artists of Flickr united by a creative spirit and willing to share their images with the world (photography and design).

An odd thing has happened on Flickr recently but first let me tell you about this Common Buzzard. I have been trying for years to photograph one perched at close range but they are so skittish they always seem to fly off before I can get anywhere near them. My wife spotted this one in a field as we were driving past and she reversed back so I could point my camera through a tiny gap in the hedge. It quickly flew into a roadside tree further down the road and I managed a second shot of it here: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/52486730413/in/dateposted/
Now this second photograph never went onto Explore but it has been getting thousands of views every day. This morning it stood at 37,202 views, which is about twice as many as this Eagle I posted the day before which was on Explore: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/52482485347/in/photostream/ But the really odd thing is that the views do not register on my daily stats so I cannot investigate the source of these views, yet they appear in my all-time stats, so the Buzzard is currently number 41 in my all-time most viewed photos. Bizarrely the same thing has happened to a rather ordinary photograph of Marbled Murrelets I posted a few days earlier. It had very modest numbers of faves and comments, yet it has been amassing thousands of views every day: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/52471619821/in/dateposted/ This one has reached 44,444 which makes it currently number 32 in my all-time most viewed photos. Yet the views do not register on my daily statistics.
For information views on my photos usually subside after a few days, unless I happen to include certain words in my write-up that people put in Flickr's search engine looking for something else. My best example is this Jay that I posted a couple of years ago: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/51129407737/in/dateposted/ There are two separate words that are regularly searched for on Flickr (you can probably guess what they are if you read my write-up) and this photo consistently gets more than 100 views each day, and these do appear in my daily stats. It is currently on 74,153. But my Buzzard and Murrelets have nothing in the write-ups that people might warrant this level of searching.
Having done a quick tour around town for a bit of shopping, I took a much needed pit stop on the supermarket wall.
I also knew that I'd have far more chances of getting a candid shot in town rather than nearer home. Saw this guy crossing the road with a large bandage on his chin and thought nothing of it, - then remembered "Candid." Turned round and found him reading a newspaper on the opposite wall to me. How kind of him!!
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :)

The reminder on my computer calendar popped up April 1 and said go to the north of Lido Beach and look for nesting birds on the beach. Well here it is two months later and guess what, no nesting birds, in fact no birds. But I did manage to get this shot. This is the actual color of the water, very minor PS'ing.

Stop and smell the roses:
To take time to enjoy the finer or more enjoyable aspects of life, especially when one has become overworked or overly stressed.
Take time to stop and smell the flowers.
KEEP CALM AND STOP TO SMELL THE FLOWERS
You're only here for a short visit. Don't hurry, don't worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way.
Walter Hagen
There are many simple ways to practice mindfulness. Some examples include:
Pay attention. It's hard to slow down and notice things in a busy world. Try to take the time to experience your environment with all of your senses — touch, sound, sight, smell and taste. For example, when you eat a favorite food, take the time to smell, taste and truly enjoy it.
Live in the moment. Try to intentionally bring an open, accepting and discerning attention to everything you do. Find joy in simple pleasures.
Accept yourself. Treat yourself the way you would treat a good friend.
Focus on your breathing. When you have negative thoughts, try to sit down, take a deep breath and close your eyes. Focus on your breath as it moves in and out of your body. Sitting and breathing for even just a minute can help.

Photogs & friends we love the changes on flickr or we hate the changes on flickr! but thing to remember that for now it is FREE! most sites they charge or they crop your images ! or there dead in the ground! and i have been to them all! i do post on 500px now as well! But Flickr is the most active photo sharing site there is! Plus Its FREE!!
So like dorks, we all pose for an "album cover" shot. Unfortunately, the original was b-o-r-i-n-g so I didn't post it. I did a little post-production work on it to make it at least a little visually interesting, so here we are!
