Thanks for the pics Nick. Just gorgeous. I'm off up Loch Lomond tomorrow, and visit to Crarea Gardens - mostly rhoddies, camelias, magnolias and their ilk. Will try to get a few good pics.

For the last few weeks we have been visiting Glentress in the Tweed valley. It has beautiful scenery and is teeming with wildlife. All you can hear are the river and the birds. Gorgeous.

If i press the paperclip my jpg file is three times the size allowed. if I press the picture one it asks me for a'URL' I don't know what that is and if I guess right I don't know the address of 'my pictures' file!...Help, i'd like to share the view from my lottie.

Please don't take offence Alice but I hate Loch Lomond, I spent 3 days walking past it on the WHW All I can remember is stumbling thru tree roots I'ts soooo much nicer either side of it.

Thanks Flum, What I know about wild flowers you could write on a midges private parts in big letters So ta for that I'll alter the title on the photo. It had a really faint pinky blush that doesn't really show up on the foto.

Go Advanced, scroll down a bit, click 'manage attachments', box opens, top box says 'Upload file from computer', to the right it says 'Browse', click that and it opens your 'My Computer' box so you can hunt for it. Find file, click open and it'll appear in the 'attachments' box. Then click 'Upload' next to 'Browse', and that should do it...?

However, Paulottie, as it's telling you your file is too big you need to use your photo software to resize it. You'll have something called photoshop or photopaint or something - may have come with your camera. Resize is usually under tools. Don't forget to save it with a different name or it will overwrite your original and you'll only have the little copy.

Here you go Paulottie try this software it's really easy to use ( must be I use it) and its free

Down load the exe file and you just name it what size you wan t to give you 100kb file size (PhotoResize800.exe should be about right but iff you want it bigger rename to PhotoResize900.exe)

I also like this view from my kitchen garden back into my ornamental garden

Sorry, it's not the pics I'm looking for. I've got good pics of places I like to go but they're on my other computer ( How many computers do we need )

Your garden looks beautiful Alice.

Like you, my best pics are on the other computer, but here are two of places we like to walk locally - the comical one with OH and daughter is at the Greenway, Stratford on Avon. It's a stretch of old railway line which has been renovated to provide off road cycling and walking and is an absolute gem of a place. There is even a cafe which has been set up in some old train carriages; they do the best bacon sarnies.

The other picture is of Burton Dassett hills in Warwickshire, which is also a very lovely country park (the best place to fly a kite) well worth a visit if other grapes are in the area.
