Well regardless of which solution I try, even a shared link from Google Drive or Photos, I get an invalid file error unless the size is below 250 kb. So I give up on posting large pics as others seem to do without issues. So here's a photo of our German Sheppard Sophie, who sits with me each morning. This was on her 10th birthday a few weeks back and she's doing well for an old girl.

She is lovely, Seishin. I also sit with my dog and, sometimes, one of the cats join.
Good sittings to the both of you.

Hi Seishin - if the photos are uploaded to Treeleaf (by using the “picture” button on the post toolbar) then they need to be less than 250kb. You can however use the IMG tag without uploading them to Treeleaf and then they will display inline at whatever their native resolution is.
I’ll try to remember to post some more detailed instructions when I’m in front of a computer.

Hi Sekishi, Tai Shi here,
When you post resizing instructions, please keep me in mind. By the way, I have found an excellent way to partially control much of my pain only dimly remembered from 10 years ago, that being-- I hold my tongue motionless in the center of my mouth. I relax every muscle (the ones I notice), and completely loosen my jaw. The Idea is to relax every muscle I can "not" think of, and I feel better in my neck all over. I suspect this in a form of mindfulness and not paying attention. I would still like direction for resizing because I find the available software baffles me. I have beautiful photos on my phone, so there might be a way to use Tap A Talk, an app I sometimes used to enter Treeleaf Zendo. Thank you.

Hi Taishi - if you have Tapatalk, that is probably the easiest way to post. It has a feature that will resize the photos for you.
I will work on instructions for posting from Tapatalk in the next day or so.

For me photography is a meditation-- I have a great book-- The Tao of Photography. Originally published for and with film, the book is mostly large color prints, one gains the expansiveness of photography and the Yin/ Yang of this universe. Where is it we travel as human kind? Photos show the beauty of landscape, nature, and scenic photography. The grail of vision attainable by the person with the camera-- consider even the pin hole camera-- a tool for film, and 35 mm film is obtainable at discount stores. The glory of Kodachrome is gone but today we have Fuji Film and hundreds of thousands of ways to use the old reliable relics of the past. I own a Canon Rebel film camera with two zoom lenses and electronic flash. Life can be sweet again with a role of 35 mm film and a camera.

PORT RIVER SHIPWRECKS
If this pic works (and if people are interested), I'll upload some photos of my kayaking expedition along the Port River, about an hour from my house. Not only does it contain numerous wrecks but is also a dolphin sanctuary. They are not scared of small boats and will swim directly under you. They are such beautiful creatures.
This is the remains of the Santiago. The Santiago was a 455-ton barque launched in 1856. It was built by Henry Balfour of Methil, Fife for the Liverpool shipping company Balfour Williamson. It sailed mainly between Liverpool and Chile, but also to Australia. Its remnant hull which lies in a ship's graveyard in South Australia is considered to be 'the oldest intact iron hull sailing vessel in the world.

Sweet!
I remember sailboarding at Port Adelaide as part of some kind of 'take poor kids from Elizabeth out for the day' thing back in the early 80's. The only wrecks I've been close to were on Moreton Island here in Queensland. They too are partially above water and are a sanctuary area. I've snorkelled and done a bit of freediving on them. It's beautiful but there is a deep channel between the beach and the wrecks that often has very poor visability. To say I shit myself while swimming to the wrecks from shore is an understatement as Moreton Bay is home to many Tiger Sharks and Bull Sharks.
Keep the awesome pictures and history coming, I miss South Australia so much.

Hi Anna
I grew up in Elizabeth - Harvey Rd, Elizabeth Grove to be exact but only for my first 5 years of life. So a good 40 years ago lol.
I too, would be struggling to remain calm swimming to the Morton wrecks. I have a phobia about sharks. They are beautiful creatures but I prefer them from a distance!
I'm glad you enjoyed the pic. I'll continue to post more and provide a little info for the ones that I can.

PORT RIVER SHIPWRECKS
Oregon Pine (Dorothy H Sterling) was a six-masted lumber schooner completed in 1920, which was built as a result of the shipbuilding efforts associated with World War I. She sailed in the West Coast lumber trade, bringing lumber from the Columbia River to Shanghai and Port Adelaide, Australia. It was completed in 1920, as part of a contract by the Emergency Fleet Commission "for 12 hulls of its own design, to be delivered without engines. There were no cancellations." Her name was to be Cotys, with a sister ship of Cossa, both six-masted schooners. Upon completion, the schooners were renamed Oregon Pine and Oregon Fir, and later in their careers, Dorothy H. Sterling and Helen B. Sterling, respectively. The schooners were chartered for offshore voyages from the Columbia River with lumber. The two ships were of identical specifications: 2,526 tons, 267 ft. long, with a capacity of 2,225,000 feet of lumber. In 1928, the Dorothy H Sterling carried lumber from Puget Sound to Port Adelaide, Australia. There she was "libelled for harbor dues and crew wages." The ship was broken up in Port Adelaide in 1930 and her remains were towed to the Garden Island Ships' graveyard near Port Adelaide on 6 June 1932 where they remain to the present time.
