Yup. I know how that goes. Within minutes of posting my Australia pictures, they showed up on other blogs and some commercial travel sites, too. Disheartening to say the least.

Yeah, that seems pretty specific, wanting 2000 words.
I’ve had some of my photos lifted and put on other blogs. Would be nice if they’d ask first or at least credit me with the photo.
