Thing 2: Photo Fun!

What a great assignment this week.  I was very familiar with a number of the suggested sites listed like Flickr, Shutterfly, Facebook (though I don't have a page) and Pinterest but I had never heard of some of the others. I plan to further investigate Panoramio, History Pin and What Was There and I love, love, love the idea of holding a "Day in the Life" event Perhaps I will take on that project in the spring.

I am very familiar with Instagram, thanks to my children.  They are the ones who first introduced me to the site.  I find that I view Instagram at least one time daily and use it as a way to keep in touch with my sisters who all live out of town.  We post pictures and inspirational quotes and use it as a way to update one another on our daily lives.


I do not have many followers, nor do I actively solicit followers, however, I was quite excited to see that Fabian Lentsch, an Austrian Professional Free Skier, liked one of my posts! 










It was a photo I had taken last weekend while skiing in Vermont.  The view was fabulous and the powder made for sensational skiing.  I guess my fourteen year old son was impressed enough that he started following me after he heard a pro skier liked my page!
