Lyzie,

That is one very impressive shot of the Cattle Egret. You set the bar very high with that one.

OMGoodness. That's sort of how I like all my shots to look. Not that they all do but that's what I strive for.

Busy Vermilion Flycatcher seems to be non stop with looking for flies and other bugs for his young. Good dad. Makes for great shots for us photographers.

I have a question. Each time I try to upload it's uploading the image twice. I am going to where it says insert image, clicking on full image and then when I post it's duplicated. How do I not do that?

Click on the "Upload Images" that has the paper clip. Then click in the thumbnail and you'll see "Insert" which you click on, then you'll see "Full Image" which you click on. That is all you need to do.

I find it easier to just drag & drop the image into the post. But I think the real issue is that I should have added that you can check to see what your post will look like if you hit the Preview when making this: https://www.alphashooters.com/commu...ht-thread-post-your-shots-here.400/post-74803

To preview your post to make sure you don't duplicate your images hit the PREVIEW button in the menu bar for the post:

To exit the preview mode hit the PREVIEW button again:

You can tell that you are in preview mode by the post menu bar being greyed out and the PREVIEW button being brought forward.

I did do that but somehow ended up with duplicates. Will watch that more closely going forward. Thanks.

Got it on the preview. I did try to drag and drop and I think I did a couple uploads that way. Certainly easier that way.
