First, I want to say that I love graphics and I am so glad to see the graphics that you share here.

Second, I must apologize ... I have been lax in checking the size of some of my graphics. I have not removed the graphics from my server, but I have been making notes not to use them because of the size.

Most of us have high speed internet connection, so we are unaware of the problems large (pixel wise) graphics cause for those without hight speed connection. When they encounter large graphics, their computers freeze and the only solution is to power down.

I like to keep the graphics under 100,000 pixels. There are web sites that will resize the graphics for you. After resizing, the new graphic will need to be uploaded to your server.

This is my favorite site for reducing jpegs ....

Another site is ...
http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/imageoptimizer/index.php
This one will reduce both jpegs and gifs but the maximum size that can be reduced is 300,000.

Third and most important ..... This is not meant to offend anyone, so please don’t take offense. I hope being considerate of others will increase everyone’s enjoyment.

Meg33 and LadyJag may have other sites that will reduce images.

Thanks for your understanding.
Amy

Meg sent me this link - and it is the one I use to reduce pictures:

But, if you upload an animated or moving gif - it comes back as a still picture. I’ll have to try your image optomizer, Amy. Thank you. (I emailed both link addys to myself - so I won’t lose them.)

At the Mid Hour of Night

At the mid hour of night, when stars are weeping, I fly
To the lone vale we loved, when life shone warm in thine eye;
And I think oft, if spirits can steal from the regions of air,
To revisit past scenes of delight, thou wilt come to me there,
And tell me our love is remember'd, even in the sky.

Then I sing the wild song 'twas once such pleasure to hear!
When our voices commingling breathed, like one, on the ear;
And, as Echo far off through the vale my said orison rolls,
I think, oh my love! 'tis thy voice from the Kingdom of Souls,
Faintly answering still the notes that once were so dear.

I am so glad to see the graphics that you share here.

I don't share graphics, I keep them to myself. Hehehe.

One of these days, though, I will try to share. Have a great Sunday and a wonderful week, Amy:)
