3:15 project update 4

New development. I took out a Pro account on Flickr. This seems to entail a Lot More Work with Blogger - please, if you can work out how to post a normal-size image with a link to the bigger one without loading it in two places, either e-mail me (see Profile) or leave a comment... Please?

Anyway. I think you ought now to be able to click on any photos to make them bigger, once I've enabled this... sigh. I had this idea it'd be easier...

I didn't think anything was going to get done on this when I woke up yesterday morning to the pounding rain and hail... However, today was beautiful.

I cheated slightly today - taking the photos at 4:15pm BST, because I'd nipped into town on the train and visited Focus, five minutes' walk from the station, when the handle fell off my trowel... But it was 3:15 in old money...

Photo 2, next to no change, but hey.


Photo 3 also looks less than stunning - the main work this week has been going on on the bed just under the patio, where I dug out everything and replanted.


You can see better here, in photo 4...


The japonica/Chaenomeles is looking stunning at the moment...


The box bushes are also in flower


These may be hostages to fortune but I can't resist at least attempting to plant lilies this year - even if they do get nobbled by lily beetles and their offspring again...


And this is the little Japanese maple I potted up a couple of weeks ago; it's starting to come alive:


The Bug has, of course, taken a keen interest in every stage of the process.

I can't tell you how I did it, but my blogger pictures just naturally embiggen when clicked. I have looked around but don't see any way to alter this, so I don't know why yours don't.

Oh, la, just one of those things...

I post pics on my blogs direct from my computer, then transfer them to my Flickr Pro account for storage. I did check out uploading direct from Flickr to either Blogger or Typepad but the process seemed extraordinarily complicated!

The trouble may be that your photos are loaded into Picasa for Blogspot and you are storing them at Flicker. Picasa belongs to Google. I think Yahoo owns Flicker. So compatibility is an issue. I'd upload them directly from your computer and only store them on Flickr. That's what I do.

However, I found this blog entry about why or why not photos enlarge. Some of this may also be coming into play. Good luck!

How bizarre. I didn't have a problem like that, it just took forever to get Flickr to accept my card payment!
