Okay..this is the first time I have ever taken a look at flickr and there really are some amazing photos on there! Why is it that no matter how hard I try, my photos stink and yet here are all of these people that can take these beautiful pictures with just the right lighting and color! I'd like to blame it on my camera, but I am not so sure that is the problem...could it be the photographer? Hmmmm...
Below are several photos I found while exploring that I really liked, all for very different reasons. I would have posted the images directly but could not for the life of me figure out how to do it. I tried using the "Insert Image" button when adding a new post, but it kept saying the link to the URL wasn't correct even though I know it was, so if you want to see them, you'll need to click the links below. I know they work because I tried them.
The first image is a beautiful picture of a camel in the middle of the Arabian Desert. Not only are the colors and lighting amazing, but since I teach about the geography of the Arabian peninsula, the image is great for teaching purposes as well. The photographer actually took a whole series of images that I could use in my classroom next year.

The second image is just plain funny. I can't even remember how I came across it, but once I saw it, I had to post the link. Evidently some dog owners have WAY too much free time on their hands and find it necessary to torture their animals by dressing them up in tutus and putting make up on them. This was just one of the photos I saw of dogs in tutus...kind of scary!

The final photo is of my favorite restaurant in Williamsburg (which by the way is my favorite place in the world...in case you didn't know)...Christiana Campbells...ahhhhhhhhh...the food there is amazing and I can't wait to get back there this summer...counting down the days until the Colonial Williamsburg Teacher Institute. It has been four long years ans I cannot wait to get back.
