A corner of the terrace this afternoon, and proof that it is damp, and that I am perfectly right to refuse to varnish any damned shutters in these adverse conditions. It may be better next week and I'll continue then. :-)

Can anyone suggest a reason why the frame should have a cross up in the corner, yet when the file is in Photoshop, it shows no such marking?

Just when you thought you knew the nature of the beast...

And now it's gone, that cross, without any input from me. And the pic looks less sharp.

Inspired to another look into my website by Chairman Bill, I confirmed that my desperation to find something to do took me gardening (in the past - in several senses) too.

This desperation to waste not time - so sinful - is a curse that grows as does the indolence. It takes me back to when I was about thirteen or fourteen, and the pastor in the twice-on-Sundays Baptist church we had to go to as boarders spoke about something I didn't really grasp at that age, but haunts me in later life: the again bite of inwit. Conscience, and its appetite for painful nibbles.

Anyway:

Automatic lens correction applied? Lovely image, Rob.

Your story and the image, both achingly beautiful. Inwit; and yet it inspires.

Automatic lens correction applied? Lovely image, Rob.

Don't know about lens corrections - it's a cropped shot from the iPad which was held against the junction of the glass and frame of the sitting room french windows. So shot through the glass, but as I find the machine impossible to keep straight, tap where to focus and to click at the same time, wedging it against the window made sense, especially as my expectations were low to begin with... (Here's a thing: in the case of french windows, I was taught that it's the exception to the rule of using a capital F; the dictionary in the computer doesn't show this - only with an F and not an f, and the old paper dictionary is the same. Anybody else heard of this exception?)

My theory is that as the image is sent to LuLa from the website via the iPad, and as the image is made without my customary white borders, perhaps the X is always there, in the weebly system, to allow the image to be closed. You know, like those arrow marks to the left or right of the image? I don't quite have this theory clear in my head, so find it difficult to explain!

The first one reminds me of those aerial (tuners?) bumps you see on some radio stuff on military vehicles.
