#flickr pool

Sometimes pictures don't load. So I search for the image link and download the picture / share the picture from the source itself, to make sure it shows up on Tumblr. I don't know if Tumblr let's you know if your submission got deleted, but should you get such a message without having violated the rules, then this is probably the case and your picture will be in the queue. Either that or Tumblr ate it and I recommend submitting again.

I adjusted the rules. I think they are easier to understand now and allow more space for the shy people who are afraid their pictures aren't good enough.

I also like to explain how I work my queue. Submissions and permission posts have higher priority and are likely to be posted sooner than my search-and-share pics. When a there is a heap of similar animals ( a lot of cats for example), I sometimes organize them in such a way that there is a little variation (cat, cat, bird, cat, dog, cat cat).

I also created a Flickr Group to make gathering submissions and permissions easier, I hope. Here is the link: https://www.flickr.com/groups/bjdswithpets
