Hot Dog Fetch

So, below is my photo "Hot Dog Fetch" taken a few years ago.  It's a somewhat charming picture that was made with a little bit of luck.  And, it's received a reasonable amount of views on my Flickr page since originally posted.

In the last few months, however, I've noticed that it was getting a LOT more traffic.  No doubt there has been adjustment in the way Flickr handles its statistics since my view count has gone up astronomically.  It might also be that their iPhone app makes it easier to view many pictures at once.  But besides that, I noticed that Flickr statistics report some interesting searches that have also driven up the count on this particular picture.  

For instance, the most popular search term among my hits pretty much every day is the word "Hot".  (I suspect this is also a top hit across all of Flickr.  I'm sure people are just searching for some type of photograph that conveys heat.  But the word can be used in many ways.  So, what do you know, that is one of the words in "Hot" Dog.   That's a hit.  

The second most frequent word that is reported in my feed is the word "Dog".  A lot of canine lovers out there.  And, that word doubles the hit on the title "Hot Dog" Fetch.  

So, as you can imagine, I'm very appreciative that people are searching for my art and finding it so effectively.
