    I'm just not very good at computers. I will try that in future. Link from photobucket, thanks,YesNo!

    Apple blossom from my parents' yard.

    I thought it might have been white hawthorn blossom.

    Nice close-up on that blossom, North Star. The white petals seem smooth and bubbly.

    It is amazing how much detail one can get with photographs. One might be able to see the flowers better with a photograph than with the eye. Of course one is restricted to what one is focusing on.

    Here's a picture I took to record my weight. The goal is 170 pounds and once I actually saw it at 167 pounds, but I didn't think of trying to get some evidence. Here I'm at 171 pounds.

    Since one would be looking at the photograph with the same eyes used to look at the flower, probably not.

    Best time to weigh is first thing in the morning, before breakfast and after, um, jettisoning any ballast. See if that does the trick.

    I didn't realise Calidore, like YesNo, is also from Chicago. I still have not uploaded my picture of a young pine tree, though I do have a photobucket account. I'll get round to it eventually. Meanwhile I hope to write a couple of book reviews: it is odd how that sub-forum is so little used! Not one published since my post there in November 2014….

    I was hoping to assign that extra pound to the ballast account. When I took the picture I thought the scale read 170 pounds, but upon blowing it up, it was 171. My eyes need a bit of fine tuning as well.

    I use photobucket because I already had an account there (although I rarely use it for anything but staging photos for this site). I think flickr which is what North Star uses is better.

    All the photos from my phone are automatically backed up to my Google account. Overall, I like Google best, but there may be better things out there. I've even converted spreadsheets, documents, calendar and email to Google from Microsoft.

    Take off your socks. They might weigh half a pound.

    I suppose I should deduct something for the clothes. That and the ballast might get me to 170. If I took off my socks, I would probably have to clean my feet so they wouldn't gross anyone out. There goes another quarter pound.
