Creative Commons/ skelliewag/ Nieces and Nephews
I have been wandering through the web this Sunday morning. It is peaceful so far around here and there is not much happening. Zachary has apparently made it to Daytona, Florida with Ashley for their vacation. My daughter, Jena, and her family are moving any day to Northern Virginia. My father is doing well up on Cape Cod. I have three sisters in various locations across the United States but I must confess I do not know where all my nieces and nephews are these days.
I am a bad uncle. I did find out recently that my nephew Mathew who is in the Air Force is stationed in the US Embassy in Berlin, Germany. That’s pretty cool. And I have another nephew Tom who is stationed in the Navy in Florida. Do you know where all your nieces and nephews are located? What about your spouse’s nieces and nephews?
Here’s my Exercise and Dieting Report for Week Number One.
And it’s brought to you by anything that doesn’t have a lot of refined sugar in it. In other words I am still looking for an advertiser.
Just kidding. We don’t have advertisers here. Because they are a pain and mostly freeloaders. In my opinion of course. Lots of folks love them. Probably I would love them if they were sending me money. But it always seemed like I was doing my part of the deal. I was advertising them. And they were. . .
Anyway. In the first week I walked every day for about 45 minutes. And these walks included hills. I discovered that it’s very important not to think at the beginning of the walk about all the streets you will be walking on and how hot it may be. It’s better to focus on. . . nothing. Or to listen to the wind rustling the tops of the trees. We are fortunate to have large trees around here and they provide lots of shade.
Give me a choice between a large tree or an advertiser and i will pick the tree every time. So the walks are going well and it pays to take one when you start to experience Restless Legs Syndrome. If I take one every time I experience RLS it won’t be too long before I look like. . .
As you can see I didn’t take this photo. I have taken the vast majority of the photos in this blog. Perhaps three or four are by others. But I am interested in the sharing procedure and that is where I have been wandering this Sunday morning. Until it’s time for the actual walk.
Here is a useful post I found on the subject from skelliewag
Flickr of course plays a central role in this subject.
And here is something else that I have incorporated into my methods. It allows you to take a photo stamp of the photo you are using along with the Creative Commons License that determines whether or not you can use the photo. Because we all change our minds from time to time. And I can still prove I used it when it was legal to do so.

My photos in Flickr are combined with a Creative Commons License. I think it would be rather unfair if I put them in an All Rights Reserved status while using someone else’s photo.
NewsLink Briefs, one of my other two blogs, will probably make more use of all this information. Because I am still searching for the right combination of elements there.
PhotoLinkLove.com and Virginia Breeze.com (this blog) are pretty much settled in my mind.
For now. You never know. Trying to be creative means never having to say “I will do it this way forever”.
And now it’s time for the walk. If I can fix a blog maybe I can fix the blob.
Gaining confidence and a willingness to try new things. . . another one of those unheralded benefits of blogging.
