So, I used to host my pictures on ringo.com. I say used to, and I didn’t hyperlink that url, because they don’t exist anymore. Apparently their “unlimited free storage for everyone” business model didn’t pan out.

So I went and got myself signed up with flickr. I’d heard of this site, of course, because it is a part of Yahoo and is immensely popular. It was also recommended to me by Jeff – almost exactly one year ago.

So anyhow, those pictures in the sidebar over there will take you to my photostream. For the uninitiated, this is how it breaks down:

• Every picture I post gets thrown into my photostream.
• The photos in the photostream can be organized into large collections.
• Collections will contain sets, which contain a group of photos.

So that is the hierarchy. It takes a couple minutes to sort out, but a little poking around and you’ll be fine. You won’t actually see the collections very much. Those are mainly for me to keep things organized. I’ll be pointing you towards sets most of the time, one of which I’ve embedded below (use the button in the lower right corner to go full screen).

LuVerne Days

LuVerne days is an annual celebration that takes place in LuVerne, IA. LuVerne is a small town near my hometown of Algona. It serves as the origin of the last few generations of Martys. Several of us grandchildren got to drive some of Grandpa’s antique tractors in the parade. Abby even got to drive one back to the farm!
