Had my first ever photo put into flickr's 'Explore' collection. Holy-flying-bundt-cakes: eleven-thousand-plus views.
Started with my usual contacts saying a few nice things ("Not bad..." "Hey, it's in focus!").
Then a "Congrats on the explore!" Huh?
After which a boatload of ephemeral "Favorites" and "Beautifuls!" "Gorgeouses!" "Wows!", i.e., one-or-two-word descriptors punctuated with exclamation points! Kept up for three days!
Things have died down now. Back to the twosie-threesie photo views and an occasional "Nice exposure."
I like this one a lot, but I've many others I thought better. Life and the internet are strange.

Could I even try to repeat this? More like lightening or the lotto - maybe I shouldn't? Heh!
