The first pix is of my friend Karen & me on a iron butterfly bench. These are done by a local artist & for sale & VERY pricey!

rest of pix from inside the butterfly conservatory

In regard to one of FR's very finest...


Jeff Head has a new book out! Sat down and read it in three hours flat. Great read, charges along, and doesn't get tangled up in details. Click on the book itself for more information. This event was what brought me to FR years ago, and some of my first correspondence with some of FR's finest like JustAmy!


The Stand at Klamath Falls

How rural western farmers stood up to entrenched enviromentalists and agencies of the federal government...and prevailed.

That was my thought also when I first did it... still easy to mess up. HTML is very unforgiving. One little wrong space, character & you have a mess..

On my profile page at bottom is a series of sandbox HTML links.. can learn to do lots of cutsie things!

You really think they are thick leaves on the eucalyptus trees then something flutters or the sun peeks through the branches and you are in wonder..some are on the ground, some fluttering and there are so MANY! This is a nice place to be anyway as it is near the ocean..high above the beach....I was thrilled when my son and his family came at Christmas and I could take them to see this beauty...

They migrate from Canada to Mexico..Some stay in California.

Scroll down for examples of how thick they are.(Mexico)

When it comes to HTML, I always drag it over to FR and through it up under someone's thread and preview it. If it is all weird, I'm the only one that knows, and get about fixxing it. Then I can drag my story around on "the clipboard" (in the copy function) to do whatever with it...like posting a new thread etc.

Not being a computer, or graphics hot shot, I stick with K.I.S.S.!

Is that "the trick" you graphics, and thread masters use???Quick! gimme a flashlight so I quit stumbing around here, chasing ghosts....

I practice the same way you do.. I go to an OLD thread usually of mine..but Billie for one does her previewing in a way I have yet been able to master. With notepad & saving text in HTML format

The larger threads are very complex & much more prone to mess ups due to the nature of the beast. My first big thread I learned there was a BIG defense in posting a thread & a post at an existing thread.

I can have something preview great in a post preview but when I go to post a thread it is chaos..... one little center, block quote, p, br out of place. sometimes easy to find & sometimes not! HTML is always unforgiving but seems to double the terror in a thread.

I now & then make the mistake of practicing & forgetting to put my name on it.. IF you perchance post it, can quickly get mods to pull BUT you have someone with a strange post in their pings!

I do all my graphics in preview like that,correct, recorrect.....If I like it I post it..or save it to notebook file for later..I am always changing, tweaking what I thought was great the first time I finished it though! I am 3 months into posting graphics and doing frames(tables)...so I am no expert.

This must be incredible. What a thrill to see them all. I have to become familiar with what butterflies cocoons and caterpillars look like, so I don't disturb them in the garden.
