Every now and then I like to do a little Flickr favourites hop. I start with an image that grabs my attention in my Flickr feed, then click over to that person's favourites, pick an image and check out that person's favourites, and so on, until I have a random but beautiful collection of images, that for whatever reason, have caught my eye.

I love to see themes emerge amongst the haphazard collection - navy, red and yellow tones, flora, craft, texture. I love the camera angles, filters, cropping, subject matter. Sometimes I click over to see their entire photo stream, or discover a new blog or shop. And each time I do this, I'm left feeling re-inspired to pick up my camera and capture my world in new and interesting ways. 

How about you?

A couple of Flickr Favourites from the past - on a strange and windy day and a quick shot of inspiration.

For a quick shot of inspiration click over to flickr. Type in a term that interests you - for instance 'brooch'. Click on the first image that really catches your eye, like the tiny happy brooches above. Click over to their user profile and click on the favourites tab. Scan your eye over their collection of favourites and click on the one image that really stands out. Continue as above and uncover a beautiful and surprising collection of inspiring images.

To share a mosaic of your gorgeous finds, click over to this mosaic maker. Copy and paste the HTML code from each of the flickr images (the rectangle and arrow icon), create your mosaic, pop it on your blog and share a link in the comments! I'd love to see where your trail leads you.

PS. Super excited to see my kitchen on Design*Sponge!
