Google Added a Color Filter to its Image

I have been saving this tip for a rainy day and I don't know when it will rain in Memphis so here ya go....
Link: http://images.google.com/ Click on images like you normally do, and search for an image. When you arrive at the results pages, you’ll notice an All Colors drop down menu. In the menu you can choose a particular color, and only images with that color will appear in the results window.

You can then choose other colors in the drop down menu to instantly switch to that color. According to Google, “You can also combine the color filter with any other image filter to further refine your search. For example, if you’re looking for an image of an orange butterfly, try restricting to photos or clip art.” This adds additional layer of functionality to
the Google image search, which is a powerful tool.

from a Google blog the developer who tells about using this with his young daughter: Just search for something the way you normally would, such as [tulips]. On the results page, click on the "All colors" drop down in the blue bar and choose a color. For example, try restricting your results to [yellow tulips]. Want to see purple tulips instead? Simply click on the color filter again, select purple, and voila — you have pages of beautiful images!

You can also combine the color filter with any other image filter to further refine your search. For example, if you're looking for an image of an orange butterfly, try restricting to photos or clip art.

Color is one of the basic visual elements of an image. Whether you're browsing through photos of sea creatures and flowers or searching for the perfect orange butterfly, we hope you like our new color filter

WOW, who thought of this visual website!
Write a subject in the center line and a galaxy appears with planets in orbit. Each orbiting planet is a relational subject to the center “SUN”. Select a planet and the photo’s appear to fly onto the sun. This is amazing, and it only get’s better. Click and drag the planet and you can move the sphere around in circles. Very Cool! Select the arrow at the top and new ‘Flickr” photos zoom in onto the sphere for a whole new set of views.

You can go to full screen in the bottom right corner, but you have to go out of full-screen to type.
I tried Tennessee. Then Memphis. Elvis had the largest "planet." And you probably thought the world doesn't revolve around Elvis. It does on this page. The larger the orb, the more images tagged on Flicker! Try your state. Try a place that you want to view images of.

Rainy Day activity for me!
