Hello from Oregon! Happy first day of the autumnal equinox!

Oh my, what an amazing picture! This embodies autumn perfectly and I want to print it in poster size, frame it and hang it on my wall! Are you selling your work? I think you really should! Amazing! Thanks for sharing and happy autumn to you, too!

Still looking for the photo I took?

Well, what happened to it? Did it disappear from the camera or the computer? In any case, I really hope youll find it, I always enjoy your pics a lot.

I think you might be asking the impossible of me.... I can barely post recipe photos. (true story: the only way I've figured out how to do that is by opening the recipe, right-clicking on the photo, copying the "properties" line and then pasting it in the thread. I know enough to know that's not the right way, but it does work....)

How you photo masters post beautiful pictures of flowers and gardens and all types of cute things is a mystery to me. But those kitties are super cute and worth a try if you can provide a hint or two

Ok, I can at least try, though Im not sure Ill manage to clear the fog on this:
1.) You need to upload your pics to a photo hosting site like e.g. photobucket (I use it in the free version and sometimes the ads are annoying, but most of the time it is great.). For this you need to create an account there and then just upload the pic to an album you created.

2.) Then you need to copy the img link photobucket (or any other site for that matter) provides for you. It is displayed near the right of the webpage with other links.

3.) Following that come here, open your reply box and paste the img link. It will look something like this (without the X):
[imgX]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y290/Cookgirl/2012/IMG_0827_zps671a5eea.jpg[/img] (this is CG's from above).

4.) Post your reply and you should see your pic.

I really hope this helps as Id love to see your kittens.

Gorgeous shots, hon! They really make my mouth water and it is only 8 am here.

WICC had already been chosen, though and Sharon still has to be picked. So, do you think you could make two of her recipes as well or should we try to find another solution for this? I wouldnt mind making two of Sharon's recipes as well, so just let me know and Ill get it noted one way or the other.

Good Morning!

Hey everyone, Im so sorry I havent been around and I feel like a broken record, because nearly every post Ive made over the last couple of months starts with me apologising to you guys for not being here.

Time is running away from me and I feel like Momo in the book by Michael Ende, who has to fight time thieves. I am sorry and I promise I shall do better by you from now on. Ive reorganised my days and planned an hour each day for updates, etc (life apart from school basically). So, I guess Im asking you to bear with me one last time...

On to nicer things: I am amazed at the talent in this group. I just LOVE all your pics, they are so gorgeous and I feel any food mag should be honoured to have them.

Thanks for sharing your work here with all of us!

I think everything should be up to date now, but please let me know if Ive made a mistake or missed something.

Have a wonderful start to the week!

Loula

Don't worry about it, we all have busy lives and totally understand! No need to apologize either!

Im sorry you couldnt find it anymore, but this second version looks great! Love the angle and lighting, but especially the colours. The herbs are the perfect vibrant addition to the warm browns. Im sure it is super yummy, too!

I saw on Pinterest that one could freeze herbs in olive oil or water in ice cube trays, so I'm trying it out with the mint & sage. I froze the mint & sage in water since I want to be able to make tea from them again. And I froze chives from my garden in olive oil. So hopefully this works cause I have lots of chives in my garden.
