Flickr photos are some of the best photos online, for your viewing pleasure, some are shared for personal, and for commercial use. Just love to view beautiful photos from a variety of themes, then you need look no further than Flickr. Check the terms of use for personal, and commercial projects.
There's a lot of sweet eye candy found among Flickr pictures. On this sight I'll spotlight some of those photos, including some treasured theme categories of roses, cats, sunflowers, and other delightful images. *Rose photo, via @BeyondRoses. *Sets of photos selected by topic are representative of an array of photographers, via Flickr.

Yellow Roses
With the search terms "Yellow Roses" I found this lovely selection of yellow beauties. Yellow roses have became a more recent favorite of mine. I had always had red roses, pink, and mixed, but last Valentine's Day, my husband gave me yellow roses. I loved them! They have a more delicate sweetness than any other shade of rose.

Red Rose on Flickr
Red roses the color for love, a universal favorite for anniversaries, and Valentine's Day. It was our 25th wedding anniversary this year, so my husband came home with 25 red roses. I told him next year, he can start over with a dozen, and add one each year, for another 25 years :)
Cat Photos
Free Style Photos
This was an open search "Cats" and has been set to update on a daily basis, in the content that I'm using for this spotlight. This one has to be watched, as with generated updates, it can easily veer off from the original term. *Just changed the term to "Domestic Cat" for this one ... for some charming photos of cats.
Rainbow Photos Flickr
It was not gold / but my dreams / at the end of rainbows
Tuxedo Cat Photos
Tuxedo Cat Oliver
This is Tuxedo cat Oliver. He's a handsome cat with the tuxedo coat, aptly named for the black, and white markings. Oliver is rather popular for the search terms "Tuxedo Cats." Make one little change to "Tuxedo Cat" and you will get a completely different photo selection. The cat photos are a delight, and my cat Cloe is a tuxedo girl.

I have three different models of the Canon camera. In my adult life, I have never used any other camera, but a Canon. I've had three different models now, including an ultra thin little pocket size Canon, but my favorite has always been the ease of use Canon Powershots. My first one was a 2.0 megapixels, where I just found some photos in it, from six years ago. This was before selling it at a garage sale. The Powershot updates have been in pixels, and in features.
Sunflower Photos
Beautiful Photos
When looking for photos, the trick in finding the best shots is in playing with the search terms. The search that brought up these beautiful sunflower photos, was "Sunflower Field." I first tried with "Sunflower Fields" and "Sunflower." The results were nowhere near these lovely pictures.
Autumn Leaves Photos
Autumn Sightings
Autumn photos are especially beautiful in visual splendor. This is the effect for the term "Autumn Leaves" bringing forth the golds, scarlets, and burnt orange shades of the season. I love the sights, sounds, and taste of autumn.
Sepia Photos
Study in Neutral
I love to play with color. This one is "Sepia." You can try blue, purple, yellow, and pink is always a delight. I chose the sepia to highlight the creative play on neutral color, and how sepia works well for a creative and intense statement.
Beautiful Roses
Study in Pink
All flowers are lovely, and roses in every shade, but pink is a blush as soft and sweet as cotton candy. Capturing the beautiful rose is one of the favorite subjects of both professional, and budding photographers.

Smiley Face Photos
Whimsical Fun
Here again, the difference in an s brings up an entirely different view of a smiley face. Add an s to faces in Flickr search, and you'll find another side of the smile. I use this group of smiles on another site, called Things that Make Me Smile.

Fun Flickr Photos
Ice-Cream Truck
An ice-cream truck use to come through my neighborhood, would hear the little tune, as it zoomed down the street. I don't know it he was cutting through, or selling treats, but someone would have had to be a real fast sprinter to have caught him. There's something magical about the little tune of an ice-cream truck. The last whimsical truck, I've seen was at the beach, and was painted a deep shade of yellow. Yellow is such a happy color!
