More fun with Flickr

I usually just use Flickr and other image storage/sharing sites for just that. As part of this assignment, looked around at the other cool things you can "play around" with related to Flickr, I came across this. Check it out! I am not so good at putting the puzzels together quickly, but I can do it eventually....



Free online jigsaw puzzles

Following a fellow Alden bloggers link, I created this with Flickr Sign Generator

Images from Flickr

What lies behind the gate

Another image I found on Flickr. I have used Flickr in the past to post images for friends and family to see.

This image is wonderful. Through the gate are the ruins of an old priory built in the 13-14th century. Located in a little village called Boxgrove.

Halnaker Windmill IV

This is one of my favorite places in the world. It is located in southern England, on a hill overlooking the English countryside--what could be more beautiful! The windmill was built in the early 1900s.

7 1/2 Habits

Well, I listen to the session of 7 1/2 Habits last week and decided to give it some thought for a few days.
I think the hardest for me would be #3--View problems as challenges.

The easiest would be either #2--Accept responsibility for own learning OR #7--Teach/Mentor others.

I agree that the best way to learn is to teach others and I love the whole idea and practice of hands-on learning. I am at my best when in the field and teaching about what I love to do the most.

However, this said, the most important thing about lifelong learning (and we are learning every single day) is PLAY!!!
This I am learning every day from watching and playing with my son. Amazing to watch the youngest of us learn and grow--we should all take example from them.
