Hi Mel

Been busy and ill in large portions (typical isn't it ) but I've put some up to my library
Simple reason is that I have still got to identify the pictures that I have so they can be loaded to the Gallery

Sorry to hear you been unwell
I'm not a bee expert at all but your first picture might be a red-tailed bumble bee, 2nd is a peacock butterfly, 3rd may be a flesh fly (again I'm not an expert) and 4th looks like a gatekeeper.
Lovely jubbly - will check out your images in WAB pictures
Get well soon won't you....

Unfortunately I will be unwell often the disease is incurable but as I now can't work I've got more time for this

The Bee I've got as a wild Honey Bee - Orange Tailed Bee - Bombus pratorum
The 3rd is a Flesh Fly and there's no mistaking the Peacock - Inachis io

It's these latin names are what are stumping me but I'm getting there so will soon have some photo's in the Gallery

Hi Gray
The binomials (Latin names) take a while to get used to.
Can't comment further on the bee as have no expertise in that area
I'd not checked the id of a flesh fly before, so now I can id at least one fly, and a distinctive one at that! Yay!
Best wishes for your health.
I'll keep a look out for your photos

Try Easy Thumbnails
Its freeware and dead simple.
Set size to 1000x1000
jpg compression to about 80-90%
Leave sharpness etc alone
Don't forget to add a prefix or it overwrites the original.
