Family Coup

49911073_3614bdfcc1_o

I love this image. Isn't it clever?
I didn't do it of course.
Photoshopped by a Flickr genius, John Ward and there are more of his photos here.
I love the way people are LEARNING and TEACHING on Flickr. Knowledge sharing is a great thing, especially on a global scale.
The comments about this picture reflect what seems to me to be genuine warmth and interest.
People talk a lot about deception on the iNternet, but on Flickr, I think there is a lot of 'show and tell'.
I know that the Internet is not always warm and cosy, but there are definite places where you can find a great deal of this kind of supportive stuff going on.
I also love the way people are showing bits of themselves in their blogs and on Flickr; humour, family, biography, lifestyle.
There is plenty of trust and friendship in the world - which you would not guess from looking at the news.
I like the way people are able on the web to publish and mediate the things that make them feel good.
Let's all go GLOCAL.

(This is a nice, warm, cushy, Sunday posting.)

That is a great image. The internet may be a time displaced way of cimmunicating but it does, as you say, allow sharing in an easy way.

This is a very interesting post, Dr Joolz.
I have found that writing a blog is like decorating (or rather putting around nice objects you like) a new home with cosy comfy stuff you like and inviting a few nice friends in.
It is not at all soul-less and sometimes when I am feeling extra blue it feels like home!

Glad you are enjoying blogging Kate. Everyone is loving your blog.
Pearl I am so pleased you like the picture and have found your way here...

Very funny photo, great find DrJoolz! I am overwhelmed with happiness after coming to work today and finding 10 comments on various posts! All this mutual engagement in pleasure and kindness, it is very nurturing for the soul indeed *smile*

Simply Clare. You should be ashamed of yourself remembering who Richard Stilgoe is. No, they are all pictures of John Ward who has cleverly photoshopped. Honestly.

It is fabulous to get loads of feedback I agree; and nice when people add to what you say or provokr you to think more. I get a real thrill when people comment.
