Is it me???
I am having trouble viewing the photographs.
They are taking an awful lot of mouse clicks to enlarge the thumbnail.
Even then, some of the photographs only enlarge a tiny amount.
They are not big enough to see what it is properly.
It took me a lot of squinting at John's picture of Euphorbia x pasteurii to realise that there was also a figure in the photo and as for his container photos, with those gorgeous hot colours, most frustrating having to squint at those!! ??? ??? ???

Daisy, The thumbnails need only one click to enlarge - if there's a delay, it's because the internet connection is not good. I find that usually they enlarge immediately, but sometimes take several seconds. (We have a broadband connection that usually has a download speed of about 2MB/sec, but can slow down dramatically sometimes.)
If people posting photographs follow the instructions in Posting pictures, and if they use Photoshop perhaps the notes in Posting pictures with Photoshop, their photos will enlarge to quite a visible size when you click on the thumbnails.
I very much wish John would post his own lovely photos in a larger size too!

Thanks Alisdair. It is just me being impatient again. :-[

John, If you are reading this, please can you make your photos larger?
I love seeing other people's photos, but yours are just too small for my eyes.
It's one of the joys of old age nothing seems to work anymore. ::)
