Thanks Linda. Photo Bucket is working for me this morning so here's mine. What do you think? Marg

Thanks for the advice guys, I appreciate it... the reason the picture I posted here is 104K is because photobucket resized it... the original is 1.32 MB. It is the same size as photos I've posted successfully to the forum on other computers... the same size as other photos that is why I think the problem is with this computer and the way it is dealing with file size... this is the only computer I have this problem on! I will play with Irfanview. I just realized something... apparently, before on my old machine (and on other computers) they are being converted to a smaller size automatically... here's what I mean Here's a link to a thread I posted over a year ago about a vacuum that a friend restored for me.... the pictures of the machine itself and the guy resoring it for me are all under 300K on the forum itself, but they are still on my memory card and they are all about 1330K on my memory card and I never changed anything about them. Is there some kind of setting where the computer automatically reduces them that I don't know about? The size posted on that thread is definitely sufficient, but it seems now that I have to make them much smaller (in size).... I still have those same pictures on my memory card and they will not post unless I reduce them significanly (I can tell whether or not something is going to post by doing preview mode, so I don't have to submit a new thread thread when I test something) Any help would be adored and appreciated... I think I'm just missing some setting or something.... I've not changed anything on the camera itself, and even if I had, the old pictures that I posted before should still post with no problem and they don't.... thanks :o) Here is a link that might be useful: Previous thread

Ok now I think I get it too- you are just showing as a point of reference how the rooms play off of each other, and are thinking that in addition to doing the kitchen, you would also do the fireplace wall and the wall perpendicular to it(facing the kitchen).... I think that sounds good, but being the cautious type, I think maybe have that in mind but first just do the kitchen - I do think that will look great. And, chances are doing it in the family room will be nice as well, but you might just decide that it could be too much... so I would wait and do one step at a time. Of course , that is my bias because I frequently don't see the obvious and need time to "digest". To repeat though, I do think the larger tiles in the latest rendition will be wonderful in your kitchen. (I believe we have a winner!) :)

1. is a cherry but note it has racemes of fruit not singles or bunches so it's possible not an edible species. 2. is another cherry but not a plum with something decidedly weird going on with the fruit. 3. could be a Plum 4. Could be another Prunus 4. is definitely not a Hazel. They all have catkins on the male plants and tiny red fuzzy flowers on the female. Looks like a Viburnum. But that's not a genus I know much about.
