I’m so damn tired of Winter. I shouldn’t complain because it generally isn’t bad here, but this February was cold, rainy and grey, and it seems like it took forever to turn to March. I know I’ll moan again when the thermometer hits 90, but in the meantime, cheer me up with something, anything that isn’t Winter.
Visualize Spring. Go find pictures of what you’re going to be doing one or two months from now, when the ground thaws and days are longer and flowers are coming up and leaves are back on the trees and you’re not weighed down by scarves and jackets and you can open the windows wide or sit at an outdoor cafe knocking back a beer or two. Or three.
PhotoPhriday helpful hints and rules:
- If you’re using a photo on your hard drive: You must upload your pic somewhere on the web before you can post it. Easy places to do this: imgur or tinypic
- Upload the pic from your drive to the site, copy the direct link the site gives you and then come back here. Don’t worry about re-sizing: Crasstalk will automatically do that. Use this magic computer code in the “Post a New Message” box: <img src=“ ” /> Paste your direct link in between the quote marks, and make sure there are no spaces so that it looks like this:
- <img src=”http://www.photosite.com/yourphoto.jpg” />
- Use the quotes and the brackets exactly as shown. You can also upload your photo to any favorite site that generates a URL for the photo (Facebook, Flickr, etc.) and use the image address provided there.
- If you’re using a photo already on the web: Right click (or ctrl-click on a Mac) on an image and select “View Image” or “Copy Image URL/Location.” Copy-and-paste the URL and use the magic code above.
