Dragonflies





I'm not sure if this is going to work because I cannot see the photo I have imported from flickr. The edit boxes are there... maybe readers could imagine a beautiful dragonfly sitting on a stem of a lovely purple flower. I love butterflies and dragonflies; they are beautiful to look at and know how to be still and they also know how to be adventurous, flitting from flower to flower. If this doesn't work, I shall try, try again!

It hasn't worked after many attempts. Perhaps it is copyrighted!! Oops!!

I just tried popping in a photo of my own... (boys and bubbles... quickly deleted!) and it worked.

I am not, not, not giving up!
Hooray!!! After finally realising I needed to find a dragonfly image that was not copyrighted under the "Creative Commons Attribution" etc. I then downloaded a smaller image and saved it to my computer. I then "browsed" from my computer and uploaded image. Unfortunately it is not the beautiful dragonfly that I wanted to upload - that photo was, understandably, copyright.
After originally thinking it was really easy (and it is when you know what you are doing!), I have learned a lot from that little exercise.

  1. HI Jules - I may have to ask you how you succeeded. I've tried my own photos - maybe poodles are banned subjects! Anyway, I'd now prefer to watch those little birds that have taken a great interest in our mango tree - MOS
