I seldom use my iPad Air.  I just opened it went to this site and discussion.   Went to post and typed this message,                    I did use a Bluetooth keyboard.

I've been gone from S&F for so long, I can't remember how to upload photos from my computer.  I've been looking for directions, but haven't found them yet.   And do your photos have to be in your gallery to post them here?  Thanks

Nita   I have stopped using Photobucket, and never had luck with the Gallery.  I now find it easy (after several attempts) to simply use the attachment feature at the foot of the post.
You have to be sure to resize your photo to 640 pixel length and height.  I use
http://www.shrinkpictures.com/
You then do your post and at the foot of the box click on +attachments and other options.  It opens a box where you insert a photo from your computer.  On the right click the down arrow and pick "inline full size image"  You might try that, then below  the attachment you will see   (more attachments) you then can pick one additional photo and again select "inline full size image"   You then post. 
I have been resizing my photos, posting the small one then delete the small one from my computer, it does not remove it from the post.

It took me awhile but I finally figured how to sent myself an email of the picture from the Iphone.   Now what do I do to get it here?

Thanks.

Mary, as Jack explained:
You  do your post and then at the foot of the box  click on +attachments and other options.  It opens a box where you insert a photo from your computer.  On the right click the down arrow and pick "inline full size image". then save.

BUT, DOESN’T THE PHOTO HAVE TO BE RESIZED TO 640K ON LARGEST SIDE AND BE 160 OR LESS KB?  Or have the instructions changed?

Resizing is most trouble, I think.

Will get back to  show me a photo of and make it photos of shrinking pictures. I did include trees.

Using shrink picture you will note on the first photo that I have chosen my photo and dropped down to line 2 and on custom inserted the 640 size limit.  I then usually select good copy and then hit the resize button, wait a few seconds and the 2nd screen comes up.
You will notice on the second photo that the size is now 640 and only 45 kb.    If the photo comes up with over 140 kb, hit the return arrow and pick good instead of best, you should be under the 140  (I keep 140 as max)  You then right click and pick save as to put it on your computer.   This reduced one is for posting.

Just suggest testing, you can always delete a post.

Jack, are you asking people to download "shrinkpicture" and apply it to a photo?

Jeanne here again is the address. http://www.shrinkpictures.com/
They do it on line.  Believe there are apps that do it but the site is so easy to use and in checking it has good safety ratings.  They do not keep the photos.  If you have not used, give it a try, I know you have a good handle on things.

A great collection of trees and all so very different.

Jack, OK I'm paranoid about cyber risks.  But I would not advise anyone to use an application on line.  If you're comfortable with it, that's fine, and if you want to explain it to people and anyone is interested in using it that's fine, too.  But maybe just a word of caution.

Jack, I was afraid posting from my computer could lead people back to my computer (okay, I don't understand how things work    ) .... but did not think about deleting the photo after posting.  Good point!  When I want to find a photo like that I put it on my desk top because it isn't as cluttered as other places (like Documents or Pictures).  I still don't have CO photos off the camera, got to stay home, huh?

Hi to all.... thanks for keeping the place running.  I do use that link from Jack since my Paint Shop Pro won't open & the new editions  I have of PSP are over my head.

Jeanne Lee, I'm not sure about how it works but I didn't have to do anything but upload a photo & let them resize & then accept the smaller size back to download so I could post it from my desk top.  Most of the time I put them in the Gallery & post from there.  Is that what you mean??? 

Jeanne, this procedure seems quite safe.  Several times I even scanned - with an anti-virus or defender - the resized downloaded on desktop picture and it has always been clean and can then be posted on S&F.

Show us more trees!

Bubble, got to tell you that when I got back from my trip to MO my bougainvillea had a new stem of blooms of the strangest almost coral color.  So far I have not been able to trace the blooms/blossoms back to a separate plant, but I'm sure there is another root.  I did get a photo but have daughter coming over this morning (in from St.Louis) and need to get out & unlock gates for the lawn guys to mow, hopefully for the last time this summer).  If I wasn't so lazy I would mow myself, but that "ain't gonna happen". 

What a neat tree..... I'll have to dig out the one down by the river that has wisteria growing to the top.  The ropes of wisteria are so big now it will probably kill the tree (a scrub elm)... quite a sight.

I sure wish you could share a shoot from the wisteria with me.  I am dieing to have one and I read they can grow in pots.

I think I'll just use Paint Shop to resize and then keep a folder of resized pics.  Wouldn't that be just as easy for those who use it? 

both are just as easy Nitah.  It also depend if you have the PSP open or not!

ok...practicing.

oops...didn't want two.

This is a very old Banyon tree at Cypress Gardens (now a part of LegoLand) in Orlando.

wow! looks like a centenary!

Here is a "Tree House" on the ground in CO National Forest.  It had quite a few holes where birds had lived when it stood tall, but I could not get good detail showing more than this one.

what an interesting trunk, full details perfectly clear on your picture.  One can almost feel its texture.
Do you know what kind of bird would nest in it?

Is that a face carved in it, just above the hole.

Hal, don't think we found any human work on the tree but lots of former holes where birds or other critters had lived.  My son wished he had a chain saw to bring home a big section of the tree to preserve & use as a "decoration", but knew his wife wouldn't be pleased.  He had a small hand saw to cut "walking sticks" that we carve when sitting around the camp site.... so much dead wood in the forest we always find interesting pieces to work with. 

Bubble, we could not figure what birds would have made so many holes in one tree.

I haven't seen any "Show me a picture of..." since the tree one.

So....I have been seeing so many posts referring to pets...and I would love to see yours.  So....show me a photo of pets.

I have two more trees to show until we go to the next topic.  One is a palm tree by the beach: interesting criss-cross on the trunk

The second is a tree hollowed when the lighting hit it. After twenty years, one still gets black charcoal on the hands when touching it.

Tiggy, the cat I had for many years.
