We were up on the Parkway yesterday.

Note:  Adriaan and I have found an option and have made a slight change to the way pictures are displayed.  Let us know what you think.

One would hope for some peace in a crypt. 🤔😄

Ironically, or perhaps coincidentally, the subject of my history podcast this past week was the disturbed tomb of England's King Edward IV and his Queen, Elizabeth Woodville. The tale is absolutely horrific, bordering on desecration. They don't allow photography inside St. George's at Windsor now, though you can tour the Chapel. If I ever were to travel again, definitely on my list, as well as White Tower.

Thanks for the link; started me down a long rabbit hole.

Atmospheric optics are fun! This is a circumhorizon arc. So pretty - and so fleeting.

Amazing!

Thank you, RV & Mica; those pix are a nice antidote to a solid week of rain-drenched corn fields......

This little creature has taken up residence around my porch. Eastern Fence Swifts are common reptiles out here... they can get pretty big, and this little one's making a good living scarfing up ants and bugs.

I don't get a text box - I have a button that says "user actions" which has a photo library button, but it won't let me attach a photo - I keep getting some long computer code message which boils down to "access denied".

If you post what device you're using, and which version, somebody may have a similar device and know how the upload works in that situation.

Generally speaking, it seems like your browser application lacks permission to access the folder where your picture is stored on the device.

Speaking of critters ...
