I was really surprised to find that there are so many freely-available handy tools for creating nice images that can get viewers' attention. These tools can be very useful when libraries promote some events or services. I created two images.

More Flickr

I do love "Spell with Flickr" and "Captioner" tools. They are very easy to use. I played with the Spelling program to find my name. I found my casual-looking name:

29/365 Watershed Moment I zod S U

And with a more country-style look:

M I s39 U

With the "Captioner" tool, you can create a comic picture very easily. Indeed, these are really amazing tools.

Flickr

I visited Flicker several times to browse images available there. I searched for library, apple, horse, etc. and it came up with amazingly various images. My favoriate search term was horse. I could see a lot of gorgeous horses with a nice background. I created an account and uploaded a picture. But I wonder whether the pictures are free to use with accreditation?
