This type of thing has always interested me. From the blissful days scuba diving in North Carolina, where I saw several sea turtles while on dives, to the present day, where I'm a marine stranding rescue volunteer for the NEAQ, I LOVE underwater and its life.

Although I don't think the world is quite as visually oriented as some others seem to think (e.g the pictoral approach of Word 2007 is a thumbs down for me!), pictures are a way to draw people in for a closer look. I'll admit that I might be much more inclined to take the extra time to investigate further if I had to click on this picture, rather than having to click on the words, "marine turtles."
My niece shared her wedding pics with the entire family, from all over the U.S. by posting them on a photo site. Not only could she easily and inexpensively reach everyone, but she was able to do it with great speed.
What I have yet to discover is whether these photo sites allow one to end up at the photo's source when one is logged in (rather than the posting website--such as flickr or photobucket, etc.). One thing I like to use Google Images for, occasionally, is to quickly locate information. For instance, I just read a short news story about the tuatara (sp?) lizard. I wanted to find out more so I found a pic in Google Images from National Geographic and, voila, followed the links to the story.
