Strange, but Interesting

Early in the week (last week), my friend, Erin, shot me an email to say that she went to our local Cox Farms website - the location of our favorite fall festival - and saw Nina, Lyla, and Mark on the Fall Festival homepage.  I clicked on the link to the fall festival and saw THIS.   That's when I did a double take and said, "Wait a minute. That's my picture!!"  You may remember it from last year's post when we went to Cox Farms.  Mark hadn't left for work yet that morning, so I called him over and showed him.  That prompted him to call Cox Farms.  We weren't mad about the picture being there, it's great to see the Simpson fam. on the website, but we were wondering how/why they used my picture without telling me. 

Anyway, long story short, because I did a Picasa Web Album for the pictures, and Picasa is a Google program, when the website person did a Google Image search for Cox Farms Photos, my picture came up in the selections.  He chose it for their site, and never clicked the properties to see the origin of the picture (to get permission to use it). 

When they realized what happened, they were very apologetic and offered to take the picture down.  No need we said.  We love Cox Farms.  We go there every year in the fall.  Our kids have a blast at the Fall Festival.  They threw four free passes to the farm our way (for the Fall Festival) and gave me credit for the photo.  Sounds good to us!  You'll see a post from us this fall when we head to the festival, but from now until the end of fall, everyone will be seeing Mark, Nina, and Lyla having a great time on the website!
