I never thought anything would top the cheerleaders

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

In terms of the number of views of any of my Flickr photos, I never thought anything would top the pic of the OSU Cheerleaders. I mean from the day I first posted in, views just took off and it had been far ahead of any of my other photos. I figured you know, cheerleaders still sell. 🙂

But this past week, that photo has been blown away. Thanks to a post on, what looks to be a large-traffic site, about Magnificent Trees and their use of my Flickr photo of the Lone Cypress, and a number of re-postings around the web, that photo came from out of nowhere to suddenly have over 3 times the views that the Cheerleaders have.

Just goes to show, even cheerleaders can’t compete with a good link. 😉

    As a photographer, can there be anything better than a place with decades old live oaks, various works of art laid out among a garden with water fountains, an old rice patty tidal creek, an aviary and a few Christmas decorations thrown in?
