    1. Thanks James I am not sure but I loaded them differently than before in that I lost all my computer data and now canot load Canon camera software- it must be something to do with stetching them to a larger size perhaps I will have a tinker with them when I find some time.

    2. James thank you hopefully I have sorted it out it was me trying to stretch to a larger photo than Google provides options for and without my original software I was adjusting a different photo size. Do let me know what you think

    3. Joanne, the photos are amazing now!...everything back to normal. I specially like the first one, with the green bug. we don´t get it over here, really nice! but all the other photo are very good, and I love your Clematis and the way you mix some of the plants, like the blue geranium, with the pastel roses...

    4. Thanks James for alerting me to the problem. The Rose Chafer is rare and the first time I have seen it on my roses but have seen it twice before on the compost heap not the same insect though. In fact there were two on the roses and they make such a noise when they fly quite clumsy insects in flight.

    1. Many thanks for your comment it made me go back and fathom the problem out - getting a bit boss eyed at this time of night especially so as I have been posting on my Looking at Lyme Disease blog earlier this evening. All so very time consuming which is why I don't get chance to visit other garden blogs much these days.

  4. I really enjoyed seeing your garden again! All your roses and other plants look fabulous! The green June bug brought back memories of childhood, when we would catch them. Sadly, I have not seen a june bug in my own garden in years.

  9. Your garden is making me sigh with yearning for summer! I'm in the very start of creating a cottage garden of my own, adapted for our climate and choosing the right kind of plants and was just about looking for ideas. Hope you are well and well-headed for spring now!
