“Punch and Judy is a traditional, popular English puppet show featuring the characters of Punch and his wife Judy. The performance consists of a sequence of short scenes, each depicting an interaction between two characters, most typically the anarchic Punch and one other character. The show is traditionally performed by a single puppeteer, known since Victorian times as a ‘professor’.” — Punch and Judy, Wikipedia

And, we’re getting our ducks in a row to begin broadcasting on Twitter @Flickr. We’ll be sharing bits and pieces from around the Flickrverse, but please keep in mind that the best way to reach us for help and assistance is via the Help Forum (a great place to get help for general issues from fellow members), Help by Email (1:1 support for technical help), and Report Abuse (a place to let us know about content or behaviour that you may stumble upon that contravenes the Yahoo!

Hey, developers! Kellan has published an extensive blog post on code.flickr about how our API methods can support Flickr as your photo sharing option: Twitter in the API.

Lastly, we’d like to thank all of you who helped out with the Flickr Twitter Beta. Keep your eye on your FickrMail inbox for a small thank you that we’ll be sending your way soon.

The Owyhee Canyonlands cover over 10,000 square miles (25,900 square kilometers) of the western United States. It’s roughly the size of Massachusetts. It’s so rugged and hard to access that, despite it’s size, very few people live there or have even heard of it. It’s inaccessibility has kept its deep canyons and starry sky secret and pure. You won’t find it in many guidebooks. Above is a peek inside from Flickr members that traveled through it.

To see more of Owyhee check it out on the Map or try a tag search for owyhee.
