    Fellow members,

    Thought some may get a kick out of my picture of pineapples- huge crop this year! (More scattered around other places on the property).

    Takes 2-5 years to fruit. In August, you have to place little "hex wire cages" on them or the pesty squirrels. home made are the absolute sweetest you ever tasted.

    Thanks for looking.

    Pip

    Essentially, there are three ways to "post" a picture; "Choose file" from you PC (using the Manage Attachments button), "Upload File from a URL" or just post the photo's URL as a link.

    Remember, if you select either of the second two there's always the risk of a broken link later if/when the photo is no longer available at the hosted website.

    From what I've seen, many photographers choose the direct link; that way the image quality is preserved. Uploading a photo using the "Choose file" feature reduces the image size and thereby can degrade its quality.

    Regarding the "remote file too large", try a copy/paste of the photo's URL into your post's message box instead of the "Upload File from a URL".

    LOL!! hey, Thanks for geting the picture up (howd you do that?)

    No cemetery, no park, but a pond. had bluegill/largemouth bass a year ago (for several yrs, actually), until they all died (hundreds) last August with the torrential rains. I was saddened. Geez- I guess you COULD call it a cemetery!

    Thanks for the compliement, garnet. Looks like youve chosen a new hobby, if you like that fruit so much- so when are you moving down to Florida from up north?????

    Oh, you can also plan on raising coffee, mangoes, and olives, and pomagranites. (everybody grows oranges here, so no biggee)
