OOPS!  :-[ Looks like THAT  didnt work. Tried using Webshots instead of Photobucket. Strange came out ok on preview  ???

Can anyone see the photos, If not I'll switch to photobucket instead.

Richard!  Cheeky!!  ;D

Rather like the marrow.......but as usual, there are sooooooooooooooo many fabulous photos again this month!  Honestly, I do think Dan should go into the card business as most of the pics would make great greetings cards or calendars!

p.s.  Nope, can't see them, a line of crosses, but the link worked okay

Very nice Richard...but I'm not sure your allowed to do this?
If Dan say it's OK..then it's OK?
If Dan say's it's not OK...then obviously it's not OK.
But if Dan say's it's OK...then it's Ok with me...
and I shall aim for at least 25 possible entries for next months competition.
How exciting, or is that confusing??
Anyway's nice to hear from you again Richard.
                              ;D ;D ;D ;D

Perhaps i shouldnt have ben so obvious and rephrased my post. On the other other hand most competitions have their 'knockout rounds' so maybe its OK.

EDIT: OK scrap the first idea. I'll just share the photos with you and make my own decision. Photos should now be visible in A4ALL.

Loved your photos Richard -  gorgeous colours.  We grew gladiolis for the first time this year, and we love them and plan to grow more next year. How is your bog garden coming on? busy_lizzie

busy lizzie: Yes the bog garden is coming on fine, one or two gaps where I cut back the lacework hostas, but the alstromerias i planted in there are doing particularly well. Better get a photo up sharpish hadn't I ?  ;D ;)

Roy: camera is a 'Fuji Finepix' with digital and optical zoom and 5MP resolution. Had it since May this year. Thanks for asking about it.

Mike if you are refering to when i tried posting images direct from webshots into the message, then all i can say is you were lucky. I am signed up to them and i couldnt get them to display properly in the message (though fine in the preview).

If on the other hand you mean the album i posted a link to, then it should be possible to veiw these whether you are a member or not. They are set up to be fully public, not just invitation only (i think ???).

Going back to the original picture posting, they are currently hosted on photobucket.

Just thought i'd try and clear a few things up.

I was referring to the webshot link in the first post

'Just in case You cant view these heres a link to the album they are stored in:http://community.webshots.com/album/447307542UxqldF'

As you can see I haven't work out the quote bit yet.

Lovely photos Richard.  The gladi is beautiful.  I also have that clematis.  It goes absolutely mad every year and looks a picture against the grey stone of my back garden wall.
Happy gardening all...........Pat
