The GW flickr group

I post a lot of my photos on this very popular group - 44,723 views.  I have been reluctant to mention flickr here because some sites are strongly against references to other sites.  What is the feeling of the people here?

    I used to use Photobucket to post photos here, but since the site's been updated, it's an internal function, although it's very hit and miss re the size for uploading, which makes it much more complicated.

    I believe people prefer to view photos in the post, rather than having to go to a separate site. It makes it very awkward if someone's asking for ID, for example, and you have to keep looking elsewhere rather than scrolling up and down to look. Maybe I'm just lazy....

    Just my thoughts of course. image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    For the 'what's this?' type of post the GW site is fine.

    If folk would like to share lots of pictures of their garden then flickr is a good option.

    If you want to check that it's ok do to so on this site, drop NoraGW a Message, she's the lovely lady that keeps this site up to scratch.
