Thank you to new Feed subscribers!

From Denny:

Hi, everyone! Thanks for taking this Visual Insights feed, much appreciated!

Apparently, Feedburner is having count issues. A while back they were bought out by Google. It looks like just now they are making the change over of accounts and the like. The numbers have been looking downright screwy the past few days so am unable to know exactly how many have signed up or remained. Go figure. Feedburner has a notice of basically to wait it out for the next three days as the current stats are far lower than is true. Guess telling people to expect good things keeps the beasties away! :)

Either way it turns out, if one person or 50 folks have signed up, just know that you are most welcome here and well appreciated! Let me know if you have any info to pass along that pertains to this blog and I'll be glad to include it or write about it - even link to it.

Thanks for the listen and keep on coming back to visit! I think this calls for a group hug! (huge grin)

Undergoing MyBlogLog Verification

Animal: Leonardo The Love Bandit

Not bad for a simple camera phone indoors, without a flash.
Leonardo, a tuxedo cat, is the youngest of 4 hurricane fur people at our house. He is enthusiastic and affectionate like a dog. But then I tend to train my cats like dogs. They don't fetch but then neither did any of my dogs. They are all sociable!

Art Photos vs. Illustrative Photos Placed in Online Articles

From Denny: For those who are here on your first visit - I write online and place photos from flickr's Creative Commons area in my articles for HubPages. These folks at flickr are just wonderful!

Sometimes my photo choices are more illustrative than art photography when it comes to the articles. I blog the flickr photos placed in my articles over at flickr to this blog as an efficient way to notify the photographers about their photos finding a new home to be shown off again online!

It saves about 15 minutes per person on trying to send everyone a separate email on flickr. That can get overwhelming when I use sometimes 10 or more photos per article. At Christmas I placed over 50 photos in one article and was frazzled from the effort but I slogged on through as I like folks to know I appreciate them. Blogging the photos from flickr to this blog is a great way to thank the photographers publicly and the added benefit of showing their work yet one more time! Win-win!

If you came here looking for the art photography then just keep on scrolling down or on to the next page and the older posts (which may only be a day old) to find the unusual and beautiful photos from flickr too.

Remember, not all the photos on this blog are Creative Commons, some are All Rights Reserved. Please be sensitive to everyone's copyrights.

Thanks for the listen and scroll on to enjoy!

Lamborghini High Heels

Get a load of these high heels!

Here's the write up: "When you usually think of Lamborghini, you think of sleek styling and fast moving sports cars. Well these Lamborghini high heel shoes may have sleek styling but they’re certainly not going to be getting you anywhere fast. Unless you’re wearing them in a Lambo of course.

These carbon-fiber heeled stilettos are based on the Gallardo Superleggera. Somehow they don’t look anywhere near as good as the car does."
