Thanks to those who recently commented! Update: I noticed that I had a favorite from a Flickr user named "Yahoo! Editorial" and I wondered what that meant. Then I noticed that I had a couple thousand views and over a 100 Favs over the next couple of hours (and invitations to post to other Flickr groups). Turns out that Flickr tweeted a link to this photo. That, in turn, led to Retweets and Facebook postings - so it will be interesting to see where this goes... but it is definitely one of the most popular images I have ever taken.
I realize that this probably happens to some of you ALL THE TIME, but I'm not quite sure what to do with all the attention. : ) On Sat, Jun 1, 2013 at 3:34 PM, Mark C <[email protected]> wrote: > Very dramatic lighting and superb use of the barn in the foreground - > fantastic! > > Mark > > > On 5/27/2013 12:41 AM, Darren Addy wrote: >> >> Had a fun little "backyard" chase in Custer County (the county north >> and west of my home county of Buffalo).
