"Pixabay" Free Images!

Here is a site I just found out about.  You may already know about it but it's new to me.  It allows you to download images without having copyrights, to use for any purpose.




The Link:

Let me know what you think.  Do you know of similar sites?

  2. This is the one I use for almost all of the pictures on my blog that aren't my own. (You can tell which are which because I credit Pixabay if I use something from there.) It has a fantastic selection! Another one is http://www.public-domain-photos.com/ but I like Pixabay better. It's really nice to have such a good resource, shared by photographers from all over. If you're looking for more just search for "public domain photographs."

  6. Good to know! I just steal my images from anywhere and everywhere. Occasionally I get a notice threatening to report me for copyright violation in regard to some photo or another, so I immediately take it down, with abject apologies to the owner. Maybe 3 times that has happened in 8 years of blogging? Good averages.

    1. Apparently I'm incorrigible compared to all the other goody-two-shoes who have commented so far. Sheesh. SIN BIG, people!

    2. We're not making any money from it so it's not really stealing.
      If no one sees the photo then it has no value, so we're adding value.
      I guess the owner of the photo wants to get credit for it even though no one knows who they are or really cares.
      Do you like my rationalizations?
      If I feel guilty about it I'll give them credit, if I can see who it is.
      But anyway there really isn't any great harm, maybe except if they make a living from their photography.

  7. I often use wikimedia for the same reason

  8. Fantastic site, have been looking through it but could spend a lot of time there.
    I don't like taking peoples photos to use on my blog have only done it a few times - mostly use my own photos and I wonder how many times people just steal them to use. I do know that I get emails asking can they be used etc. and that's appreciated by me.

THE UNWILLING KILLER

Which one is scarier? I asked the AI (Artificial Intelligence) on Bing  for a scary image of a man in an alleyway.  

Luna Moth, Ready for Takeoff

  Its antennas are out The body seems to have some sort of "fur" puffing up. Wings are lifted off door. Here it is just before takeoff. It was too fast for me to get pictures. It flew down to the concrete. Then up against the siding. Then flew away. My friend was gone, but I enjoyed its visit.

I Did It Again!

I seem to fall every six months or so.  I'm hesitant to use a cane because it makes me feel so old.  But it's much better than losing my balance.  Maybe I can find a cane that looks good and not make me feel frail. Luckily it happened just as I got to the treatment center in the hospital.  A man and his daughter stopped and left their car to help me.  My glasses and cell phone were in the street. The nurses at the IVIG infusion area took me to the emergency room where a CT scan showed no broken skull where I landed on the back of my head.  My blood work was good. My IVIG treatment was rescheduled for tomorrow.  No luck having it cancelled for this month!
