Sorry! I guess I didn't do the link thing correctly... am trying to do another post but keep getting a "patience, grasshopper..." message... stay tuned...

You can linky in here, if'n you like. The suspense is killing me!

I get the patience grasshopper line frequently. I think that's when they are out back having a smoke...

Just post it in this thread, we'll catch on. Well, some of us will, but probably not me.

You get "patience grasshopper" because you can only post every 30 minutes.

(Which is a good thing.)

i think you also get the grasshopper line if your post is too long or something

Nope, you get another message if your post is too long -- tells you it's been deprecated. (And if the post title is too long, it tells you the title is too long.)

This concludes today's posting lesson.

I fixed it - you just put the url in the wrong place, that's all. Next time, follow this handy guide. Just put the url where it says 'here'... ;)

Oh and that dragonfly's freaky! Its body looks like it was designed by Leonardo DaVinci, who decided to cover it with wire and silver paper.

Wow, GORGEOUS dragonfly! And a great pic of it, too.

I took some buggy pics this week, too.

wow, thanks y'all for being so patient with me - I am so green, I photosynthesize...

Great pic, Recovering Iowan, nice macro! And nice to meet you, by the way.
