There are several ways to do this, but here is one of them:
Go to your profile, by choosing User CP on the left of your top of the page menu bar. When you get there you need to choose Pictures & albums from the left hand menu. Now you can open an album and upload pictures to it. From then on it is a simple matter of opening one of them to find the BB code below it, copy it, and paste it into your post.
If you already have your pictures available on the web, all you need to do is to copy the link and choose insert picture from the icons above your post, and paste the link.

Well done Kafka's Crow... Nice Irish pictures there
Now for some rainy Swedish ones:
All the rain we've had lately really got the mushrooms going.
A rather big anthill.
Sheep in cover from the rain.
More mushrooms. This one is poisonous by the way.
Bluebell with droplets.
Another mushroom. One I know nothing about.
Wet berries

Excellent pictures Claes. Beautiful mushrooms and those cherries look like glazed in sugar-syrup. Think about the organic life in those droplets on that clover-leaf, just like Blake's "eternity in a grain of sand" indeed. Absolutely beautiful!

Hi Claes /Many thanks to you! I have started an album, let us see if I can also manage to post them photos in this thread.
Pictures from my most recent holiday (1st week of September) : in Normandy. We had pleasant weather except on Day2 whilst we were in Honfleur. I bought a tin of Mère Poulard biscuits ....delectable!

These are really really good (to all 3 people above on this page)
Claes it seems you have a knack for spotting poisonous but cute things: first that small blue frog and now those mushrooms, which actually look tasty!
What kind of lens did you use for the drops on the leaves?
Kafka the ones on the beach are stunning! If Wales is like that I should really go when I'm back in the UK
And bouquin, the scenery in Normandy must have been gorgeous. If not a bit chilly...
I won't upload any pics on this thread, my pc usually blocks when I try. But I have some on my profile page, so you're welcome to take a look

Great photos on this page! I love the closeup's Claes, those clover leaves with droplets is an amazing photo. Is that really an giant ant hill; it looks like a mulch pile. I don't want to see the ants that come out of that hill; no thanks! The berries with droplets are beautiful, too. I heard the brighter and more colorful a mushroom, the deadlier....am I correct assuming that?
I love the South Wales photos, Kafka's Crow....I too would love to visit there. You photos make it very inviting. I love that opening in the rocks by the sea...nice shot...I also chuckled at the plastic blowup castle in contrast to the pretty pastel buildings in that one shot of a town...great photo.
bouquin, I have long adored this place - Le Mont Saint Michel. I recently bought this neat film called "Chronis" - all scenery/some cityscapes and buildings, in time-lapse photography; this site is well explored on the film...really featured. They show it from all angles and inside and the water coming in when the tide is high, which completely cuts it off from the mainland...isolated. The place has always fascinated me, so I go crazy when I see this part of the DVD....it must be so awesome there. I envy you actually seeing it. Lovely photo and not as I had seen it before in other misty photos.
I have no problem posting photos in here. I put them first in Photobucket, which is free to sigh up for and that service holds a ton of photos (I use it all the time); then I copy out the last (listed) URL code and simply paste into the body of these posts. Try that method, it should work for you. First, you must 'upload' your photos to photobucket, of course, but that is quite simple.

Wow, Kafks, Claes, and Bouquin. Those are all incredible pictures!

Janine, you cant identify poisoned ones with that method. There are fatal ones with simple white, brown. Those also have very common view, so is not safe to pick up without knowledge.
Also Claes's second mushroom photo, is an Amanita, very bright one, somehow edible. People eat it for hallucinogenic head (use as a drug).
[Never try it. Amanita is also poisonous. What makes the poison, is dosage. You use a piece, it makes you high, you use second piece it makes you die. -for instance-]
What is surprising for me, in any kind of child book you see lots of amanita, like this, they are everywhere from Alice Wonderland to The Smurfs, I wonder if they dont know this one as a drug in Western society.

Thank you.That picture came out rather better than it looked in the viewfinder, and that proves an important aspect on photography: That we should take chances when we use our cameras.
Events seem to indicate that you did. Good job, and nice pictures too. I hope I'll be able to visit Mont Saint Michel one day.
Tasty... I had a feeling that I ought to stay away from that one and judging from tractatus' information that seems to be a good idea.
Just the ordinary lens of my pocket camera: A Canon Powershot SX-100.
What? You don't like ants? No worries though: The anthill may be rather oversized, but the inhabitants are very ordinary. I stay away from that place when they are active though: There are quite a few of them in it.
So now we know. Thanks for the information, tractatus.
