Title: Long Eared Owl
Post by: Hilander on May 22, 2009, 10:35:37 AM

Hi,

I hope I do this insert/attach photo thingy correctly!!  If not ... HELP!!!!! (How DO you get the picture to show up in the body of your posts, anyways??)

This is a Long Eared Owl that decided to land on our back porch light for a bit of a rest up.  This was about 4 years ago in Milton.  Sorry about the quality of the photo ... I had to sneak into our neighbour's back yard to take the picture.  I was using a Canon A-1 manual SLR with 70-210 lens.

Cheers, Rory.

You have put the URL to the page the photograph is on and not to the image itself.

Try using http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2443/354 ... c4900c.jpg (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2443/3546813763_0578c4900c.jpg)

Ahhhh,

I understand now!  Left click on the photo and get the ref page from the properties ... !!  Thank you GS.

So, I think I've also figured out how to post the whole picture into the discussion thread:

Now, if I can just figure out how to insert the photo directily into a posting.  I found the HTML Source on Flickr, but ... ugh!!

Newbie questions!!!

Rory.
