Although not an indicator of quality, my macro shot of a lily got selected for “Explore” on FLICKR. It was one of 500 “interesting” photos of May 2nd and FLICKR states over 1.4 million photos are uploaded daily worldwide.
There have been over 11,500 views of the picture so far in 24 hours. That’s a REAL high volume for me.
Sure wish that many would read my blog. I’ll even settle for a paltry 10,000 views a month. 😜

OK. I’ve finished bragging.

Brag away Koji!!!! It’s gorgeous!! 10,000 a
Month would be incredible! 😉
You get 10,000 thoughts a minute!
Awwwwww Koji. 🙂
I still get “what is a blog?” Ha. Pliots are notoriously conservative.
Notoriously conservative? A USAF pilot? Never! Lol
With photos like yours! I’m sure it’ll be 30,000 views! 🙂
LOL! I will say it is one of my better ones but far from pro quality! I do wish I could have afforded a true photography school in my youth.
Never too late to start 😉
Very nice!
Thank you! I read some of your stories but was unable to comment… but that guy who questioned you wearing Marine clothing and pins. Poppycock. That’s showing your support and you did right by clearly announcing you are not a Marine.
おめでとうございます！ 🙂 🙂
有難う！運は良かった見たい！
stunning!
Thank you, Cindy. And we expect to see more “stunning-ier” photos of Canada from YOU! 🙂
How wonderful, Koji! It’s a tremendous honor to be selected, and I would agree it’s a spectacular shot. I have really enjoyed your photography and I hope this honor just encourages you to continue shooting! 🙂 Brag away…well deserved.
Well, it does give me encouragement – both the Explore and you! This macro stuff is tough to learn on your own!
Congratulations! It’s a beautiful shot.
Thank you, appletonavenue. I hope you’ve had some progress in your own search! Temps should be a bit cooler so that should help. 🙂
It has cooled down today. Still can’t get husband into the downtown area, so it looks like I’ll have to drive to the beach.
Outstanding, Koji!
Thank you, gpcox. 😉
Well done you – you’re allowed to brag!
LOL… but I wish I could take some pics of your cutie pies!
We wish you could too 😉
You’ve earned bragging rights! That’s a gorgeous picture! 🙂
Really, I just got lucky… Snapped it before I woke up my kids for school!
I can see why this one was viewed so much – it is a gem – and well, I also think your blog is a gem. 🙂
Aw, shucks… 🙂
