I've changed browsers and will try one picture. It's a little bouquet of roses with Chinese Han dynasty funerary statues beside it. Wish me luck!

Thanks, Marlorena. The one one the right is The Ram, one of the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac. The very primitive dog on the left is many centuries older, but both are thousands of years old, buried with the deceased to accompany him in the afterlife.

Put it in the Optional Link URL space under the box for the text of your post. without the IMG tags. Use photo editing software to downsize your photo before uploading it. If you're using Microsoft Office, under Office Tools there's Picture Manager for doing just that. Mac OS X has something too, I think it's called iPhoto. And digital cameras usually include some kind of photo editing software of their own. You want to both reduce the dimensions and the dots per inch. Computer screens only display 96 dpi so there's no point uploading the 200 dpi that you'd want if you were going to print it. Very nice photos! Beautiful waterfall, and is that a Pom in the first photo?

Thank you all! I’m so worried about this Houzz re-boot business. It’s been such a dream to log on and see everyone’s gardening progress, follow interesting threads that range from the every-day to fine points of Rose botany and history. It’s a little heart-sinking to think everyone will just disappear. I’m hopeful Houzz will resolve the problems enough to keep folks tethered, or that we’ll find another posting site, like the one Jeri found. I’ll be sending a message to Houzz later tonight and will post it here for folks.

Hmmm. I'm on a mac and use chrome. If I try to post a pic in the first post...I use the photo button below on something off the desktop...it will just sit and spin like it's trying to load and the whole screen is grayed out and freezes. If I post in the first comment, it loads right away...within a second or two.

..that's incredible... I've seen your porcelain but I had no idea you collected pieces like that... and I think they go so well with roses, given their own ancestry....

I decided all that pretty porcelain had to be offset by something strong and earthy and primitive, and I feel an atavistic connection with these simple pieces that were buried in graves for thousands of years.
