In this case I think it was just: <santa cruz first rain> with no quotes. For something like this I'll try as many combinations as possible and I searched off an on over the course of several days and luckily this one hit. While I'm glad this hit, it's a reminder that it's entirely possible that there are tons of photos from this and every other event we're interested in on flickr, but don't have tags we'd think of and some maybe don't even have tags at all. Some of the best photos I've seen on flickr I found just by going through friends lists of people whose photos did match up. When I've gotten to the friends' albums I've found some nice pics from exactly the event I'm looking for with absolutely no tags or searchable filenames. This happens rarely, but it's nice when it does.
