"saving" images from Flickr. It *can* be done.

Pull up a chair kids, here's how you get that coveted flickr photo you've been longing for:

1) go to the page in the photostream showing the picture you want.

2) in Internet Explorer (or whatever) select "view" then "source" to view the source code for the page.

3) do a search (contrl-F) for either the word "zazzle" or "farm" within the code. Most of the time it will be the second one found that will be the one you want. You should find something that looks like this:

----->
page_zazzle_url = 'http://www.zazzle.com/partner/flickr/?imageUrl=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm1.static.flickr.com%2F42%2F83741982_6abd1ebe8c.jpg&caption=cake....blah blah blah....
----->

The important stuff starts after " imageUrl= " and ends after ".jpg" You'll cut somehting like:

----->
http%3A%2F%2Ffarm1.static.flickr.com%2F42%2F83741982_6abd1ebe8c.jpg
----->

Starting to resemble a web address, ya?
Now it's just a matter of translating, like so:
" %3A " means " : "
" %2F " means " / "

This, when translated, gives you the url of:
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/42/83741 ... 1ebe8c.jpg

Now paste it into your browser and enjoy.

You can reward me by posting lots of messy pics.

Well, thanks, but 99% of all images are savable in the normal manner. Just click the view all sizes manifying glass, then right-click the large image in the next page that loads.

D'Oh! I forgot to specify: For example, this excellent set doesn't have them:

(And I love showing this set off. The place is about 10 minutes drive away from my front door
