I like the fourth one, with that single bird sitting on a branch. And... That's a lot of grey skies.

thanksBeautiful....
London was great today
Tomorrow? Who knows
out where i am - east london suburbs, we had the best sunshine saturday. yesterday was warm but very overcast at times, no bright blues. The moody effect of the dark ones, though, was purely a lucky accident where my phone cam decided to change its setting (it was on auto).

re the sideways issue: i downloaded them into my pc, and when i view them they're the right way up. oh phooey.
The camera probably has an accelerometer to detect when a picture is taken sideways, and automatically flags the photo. When you view it on Windows, it does the "smart" thing and automatically rotates it for you (without actually saving this rotation to the file). You'd have to install a different image viewer (one that showed you the picture as it is, without automatically rotating it for you). Unfortunately, I don't know of any free ones (I use ACDSee, myself, which isn't free), though I'm certain some other board here on Lit can give you suggestions. Of course you can always use Windows' "paint" app to do this, but if you have a lot of sideways photos, be prepared to click, and click, and click...

Nice to see the blossom out, our Pear trees are smothered in blossom. Just hope we don't get any frosts which is what did for therm last year.

thanks, hon
yeah, i got it all figured out in the end - if i open the pics i've sent to my own email, they show up which way round they are even if they looked right as previews... so i click to save then open up all the offending ones in Paint and rotate accordingly. I might even return and put these here right!
yeah, lots of things are sprouting and displaying now, annie
i've some ornamental fruit tree (not a big one, but pretty) that's covered in bright pink, and the old pear stump has thrown out a few branches since it was cut and they are now loaded with snowy white. let's keep our fingers crossed for no frosts.
between the white of the pear and another shrub that's starting its own wedding-display of tiny flowers, the bright ornae cotoneaster berries, the pink blossom, the bright yellow holly flowers and splashed ivy, and now the bluebells starting to open ... things are getting pretty colourful
lovely

Oh no! England's got hose pipes, thought they were indigenous to Alabama. I've got a spare; who needs a good hose?

Does it unwind to a great length?
