Week Two - PiccApp

This is a neat site for getting free & legal photos, with the emphasis on free. And easy to use once you worked out how to capture the image & get it into your blog. I liked the search function as you could be quite specific as to what you wanted to see & then choose from the thumbnails.
Would recommend to others, but seldom get the opportunity to assist customers who would find this useful, most internet users know what they are doing or just want to do the minimum. Don't know if the images are everlasting as they are a web link, will they disappear in the future leaving the dreaded red cross? Could not find anywhere on the site to answer this.

I liked this photo of a British Zoo Keeper in 1940 with an armful of wee beasties. Needed the gloves!
