Much talk of instant screening. Our need was for instant shade, to replace a 100yr old Bramley. That's it in the foreground. So, a Norwegian Maple - expensive but well worth it - given the summers we've had since.

Since I still don't know how to insert TWO photos, I'll have to show the later one separately.

OK - we're back!

Year 5........................... You've seen the leaves elsewhere. - Tim

Will we get a picture of it when it's in leaf please? Very impressive anyway.

Btw, on your tomato thread I posted two pictures and it works, why not for you? I skipped two lines between them and pasted the second one. I just hope they stay there and don't pull the disappearing act again.

- do you mean you can 'copy' both photos successively and then 'paste' - 'paste' in the message? - Tim

OK, Ina - here it is just before it coloured - but it wasn't great this year - mainly golden.

And here's a reminder of one of the many colours last year -

Looks like you managed to get two pictures in one posting this time. If I understood you correctly, you wondered if I copied both pictures and paste one after the other on the message? No, I do one at a time; copy, paste, move cursor and copy, paste.

Thanks for the pictures. Great!

Tim, what a superb tree and what beautiful colours of the Autumn leaves, I do envy you. Thank you for showing your pics.

:) really lovely pictures Tim.....can't imagine that I'll ever be able to do anything clever like that.....but who knows...maybe one day......H.P.

- not clever - just money! - Tim

Hot_Potato · « **Reply #10 on:** November 15, 2003, 15:17:12 »

Tim - can you explain what you mean by that remark.....are you referring to cost of the tree in first place or cost of installing the right software to make it possible to post piccies etc.

I'm a bit slow at grasping some things!! ???....H.P.

Hot_Potato · « **Reply #11 on:** November 15, 2003, 15:40:27 »

Oh....it's just sctruck me.....you probably mean the cost of the digi. cam.!!

Told you I was slow!!...

Hot_Potato · « **Reply #12 on:** November 15, 2003, 15:42:10 »

:o and no good at spelling!.....H.P. ;)

Hugh_Jones · « **Reply #13 on:** November 15, 2003, 19:57:37 »

No. He meant the cost of that lovely shiny machine you can just see the arm of in the background holding the tree. He probably had a JCB to shift the Bramley and dig the hole.

What it is to be rich!!!!

Hot_Potato · « **Reply #14 on:** November 15, 2003, 22:29:18 »

Yes...I see what you mean H.J. some people don't know they're born! ;)

tim · « **Reply #15 on:** November 15, 2003, 22:53:28 »

OK - I come clean - price was no object in regaining our shade - no, the Bramley's still there where it fell - the Maple cost £500, and the hidden, underground bracing another £50. Delivered from Surrey. We dug the 3'x3' x3' hole! And came up with enough Cotswold stone to do a garden wall! Nous ne regrettons rien!! - Tim

PS - rich? - on our pension??
And this was the 5th mature tree to go in 3 years with honey fungus. Can't live without trees!

Don`t we get a few bob extra for FOUR stars (see, you hadn`t noticed, had you?)

tim · « **Reply #17 on:** November 15, 2003, 23:13:05 »

- no, I hadn't - age does creep up on one, doesn't it? That's why we (here) both get an extra £50 winter fuel allowance next month - beat that!! - Tim

Hugh_Jones · « **Reply #18 on:** November 15, 2003, 23:31:26 »

Trouble is, my wife spends all ours (heating allowance) in Christmas presents for the grandchildren - never offers to contribute any when the oil bill comes in.

tim · « **Reply #19 on:** November 16, 2003, 16:24:52 »

- to be fair to the tree, this is a bit better? Difficult to photograph - it needs the sun on it. - Tim
