Bruce, I absolutely love that frosted tundra shot. Is this typical in September or does it happen later?

I apologize for not answering earlier. I completely lost track of this thread.

The frost can occur any time from August through October, depending on where you are in Alaska. In the case of this image from Denali State Park (just south of Denali National Park) and at a relatively low elevation, the foliage reaches this level of color in early to mid September. Near Wonder Lake in the Nationial Park, this stage would have been reached several weeks earlier.

I am hoping somebody can give me a hand here. I just added a post to this thread attempting to insert a link to my flickr site.

I have used the image icon in the "reply to thread" dialog.

The image does NOT appear, just the link. I see lots of folks displaying images using links to flickr and other sites.

What have I done wrong here?

Thanks in advance for the help.

If you look at your url, you will notice it ends with ?v=0 (right after .jpg). Just delete it, leaving .jpg as the last thing in there and it will show.

Like this:



Everything that comes after .jpg is control stuff for flickr's database and only confuses the forum software.

I am hoping somebody can give me a hand here. I just added a post to this thread attempting to insert a link to my flickr site.

Here's how I get the flickr image and a link to the larger one, and I might as well add a Flora pic while I'm at it. Here's the pics page:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/drew_saunders/3375881933/

I then go to "all sizes" and pick medium and from Item 2 "Grab the Photo's URL" where it presents to me: "http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3629/3375881933_6664626445.jpg" (and I have to put quotes around it to keep it from becoming a link in this reply)

Next choose the Insert Image from the Reply to Thread and just paste that URL above, without the quotes. Then, select the stuff between the "[IMG" and "/IMG]" and make the whole thing a link using the "Insert Link" but this time to the large/original version ("http://www.flickr.com/photos/drew_saunders/3375881933/sizes/o/") of the photo. Result below:



As you see, it's now a link to the larger version.
