(4,305 posts)A lot and I don't drink so a lot would do the trick. and I will sit in one of the pictures, watch the gorgeous sunset and have the backyard squirrel come chatter with me while I smell the flowers. I haven't figured out how to post pictures yet so it might take me months.....

(9,685 posts)Go to somewhere like imgur - upload your picture - then open the picture in a new tab and copy and paste the URL - and bingo!!!
Himself is in the hospital (again) so I certainly need several drinks..... hic!

(7,569 posts)Please tell me, if it's not a "special photographer's secret" how you got the squirrel photo? Had to have been with a zoom lens, but it is so crystal clear, looks as though he was looking straight into the camera at close range! Amazing!
Solly Mack
(90,758 posts)He was staring right at me, watching me. His desire to feed was greater than his fear.
Besides, I'm so short, most animals think they can take me in 2 falls out of 3.
My dogs think that way, anyway. So did my cats.
Thanks!
