    Hi Graham

    I use Photobucket. You will need to open an account with them - it's free.

    This may seem complicated but takes very little time - mainly just a few clicks.

    1. Go to your album on PB
    2. Click on 'Upload' - this will bring up another screen
    3. Click on 'Select photos and videos' - and it will take you to your computer to select a file.
    4. Scroll through you computer to your photos and pick the one you want.
    5. Click on it and click 'Open' - this will start to download it to your PB album
    6. When it has downloaded it will show another screen and click on 'Save and continue to my album'
    7. It will then appear in your album
    8. Hover your cursor over the picture in your PB album and you'll get a drop down screen with four choices. Left Click on the bottom box (labelled IMG Code) and it will briefly flash 'copied'
    9. Paste it into your post.


    If you want to uploaded more than one picture then when you get to stage 4. you just hold down the Control key and single click on each picture you want and then click 'Open'

      How I love these hellebores!
      Well, all we have here now is just incredibly beautiful snow. I haven't seen so much snow in my life, except higher in the mountains, but, here it is:

      Our dog, who is of a mixed husky-German shepherd lineage and loves to live in the Ice Age. :D

      And a new companion of this season, the green woodpecker:

      Some more frozen beauty:

      Well, I will never be able to show you anything genuinely 'garden' in this month and your plants right now are really fascinating to the eye! :sunny:

        Lovely photos, especially the green woodpecker, Angelina :dbgrtmb:

        With a mixture of old memories and the fact that Joan Baez is performing near here soon, they have conspired with your name to take me back to 1965.

        Bob Dylan wrote this and Joan sang it.

              Just took a few quick snaps so the definition isn't too good.

              We have loads of helebores and these are just some of the more common ones. They seed very easily.

              Snowdrops are now starting to show better but it'll be a few weeks before they're at their best. We have hundreds of bunches of them.

                  My supposedly borderline hardy Polygala myrtifolia continues to bloom well. As you can see, it's not exactly huddled up in a sheltered corner!

                  The Iris reticulata continue to bloom early and the rich colour of this one is always welcome!
