Spring is officially here, which means only one thing: Summer is right around the corner! It’s time to start thinking sunshine, beaches and bathing suits, and of course, summer cocktails! Today’s festive photo of the day comes courtesy of fdean55 and was captured in Tulum, Mexico.
If you have a photo that screams summer, or just captured a priceless moment you want us to consider for Photo of the Day, submit to the Gadling Flickr pool. You never know — we might feature your shot next!
This photo by Flickr user jwannie is entitled “How to build a salad tower.” The bright oranges and yellows caught my eye when I fist saw the thumbnail and that’s why I clicked on the image. As for what a salad tower is and why it’s so comical, I defer to the accompanying blog post on frites & fries for a full explanation.
I recently received an e-mail forward from my dad about the Chinese Pizza Hut salad bar from a Chinese colleague. The Pizza Huts there typically offers a salad bar but you can only fill it once in a small salad bowl – I think the salad is a free with purchase type of deal. To get their money’s worth, some people use their fantastic engineering skills to build salad towers.
I support this ingenuity 100%. You get way more food for your money and it’s salad, so it’s healthy. Way better than those Domino’s Pasta Bread Bowls.

For some reason, a picture that isn’t formatted in the typical 3:2 semi-rectangle shape is more eye catching. This wide view taken by arex of a crashing wave in California, complete with a little vignette (darkening of the edges) is eye catching enough to make our photo of the day.
Nice job, Arex!
Higher resolution cameras today have enough definition to crop them into a shape like this one without losing any detail. It’s worth a second look at the pictures in your collection to see if you can transform a dull picture with a simple crop. If you like the results, why not submit it to Gadling’s Flickr group right now! We just might use it for our Photo of the Day!
Today’s photo of the day, titled “Show-off”, is brought to us by jrodmanjr. It’s true that not every clover is created equal, but this photo goes to show that if you look hard enough you might just find the one you’re looking for.

Beautiful shot mike! If you’ve had a special moment with a large land mammal and have the picture to prove it, send it our way on the Gadling Flickr Pool! It might be selected as our Photo of the Day!
