Six New Galleries

I just realized that I haven't blogged about the last six galleries I've made on Flickr. So I'm going to remedy that now with a run through of all six.

The first one that I made was Crystal King. As the name implies, it features shots of the Lego Power Miners Crystal King. The gallery was made in honour of me getting my own Crystal King. Unfortunately there aren't very many pictures of the Crystal King on Flickr, so like my Stormtroopers! gallery, this one features multiple pictures by the same photographers.

The next gallery I decided to make was my Flower Macros gallery. The name pretty much explains the gallery; it is full of close-up flower pictures. All of the pictures were chosen from my Favourites on Flickr. Of all the galleries that I have made so far, this is my favourite. All of the pictures were chosen from different photographers.

While building Flower Macros, I discovered that I had a lot of insect pictures in my Flickr Favourites. That prompted me to build The Insect World. The Insect World features macro pictures of insects and is really quite interesting. Like the Crystal King gallery, The Insect World again has multiple photos from the same photographers.

If you've looked at The Insect World, you may have noticed that butterflies are missing from it (with the exception of the Luna Moth, which is kind of like a butterfly). Instead of including butterfly pictures there, I built a completely separate gallery entitled Butterflies! Butterflies! features both butterflies and moths, and again is chosen from my Favourites from all different photographers, mostly because these photographers have excellent photos of different insects.

The fifth gallery I made is called The Life Aquatic. It is a fun look at some of the amazing aquatic animals here on earth. I started building it from my Favourites but had to go looking for other pictures as well. The Life Aquatic features pictures of eighteen different animals taken by eighteen different photographers.

The final gallery, Rocks in the Water, was made today. I had just added a new picture of rocks in the water to my Favourites when I decided to look and see if I had enough pictures to make a Gallery. Sure enough I did, so I put those pictures together into the fifteenth gallery I have made on Flickr. Like most of my galleries all of the pictures featured in it were taken by different photographers.

I hope you enjoy all of these pictures as much as I do!
