Week Three: Flickr Photo Fun


Burger Boy Signage
Originally uploaded by pjchmiel

For Week Three's Discovery Exercise, we were presented with two fun Flickr options: find an interesting image in Flickr and blog and blog about it, or create a free Flickr account and use a digital camera to upload a few pictures of something going on in the library and blog about that. I had every intention of actually setting up a Flickr account and taking some pics in the library, but I kept forgetting to bring my camera to work. I even skipped over this week and moved on to Rollyo, LibraryThing, and such, but I cannot seem to make it to work with my camera. Since I really want to finally catch up and actually be on the same page as everyone else, I have broken down, given up, and decided to blog about an image I found on Flickr not of my own making.

For those of you who do not know me well, you probably do not know that my hubby and I are in love with vintage Vespas (an Italian scooter...I should probably include a pic of a Vespa here). Through exploring a fellow scooter enthusiast's Flickr account (I was looking for pics of a recent Scooter Rally I attended), I discovered that this guy went on a little road trip to my old neck of the woods, and had several photos from areas I consider to be home. This pic made me feel a bit nostalgic. The restaurant belonging to this sign is in London, KY. It may not be "home" to me in the purest definition of the word, but London was "the place to go" for teens in Clay County when I was a teen in Clay County. I passed by this sign many, many times....
