I transfer from the phone to the computer and they are the right way up .Than when I put them on AAPK they go sideways.

Do they show the correct orientation if you do a Preview before you submit?

[Quick Steel]

Shearer, very fine workmanship. I like them a great deal.

It seems that any pictures you download from my phone to the computer is the right way up on the computer and when I add it to the site it goes sideways
When I take a picture with my camera it always ends up the right way.

Grant
I just noticed when you enlarge the picture they are the right way

Thanks for the nice comment Quick Steel.

More wildlife in my backyard. Do you think the light colored deer is a whitetail - albino maybe? There is also an Axis buck who wanders through occasionally. They both might be escapees from my game ranch neighbor.

[Quick Steel]

It sure looks like a color morph or variation of a white tail. If the eyes are dark it would not be an albino.

Very impressive work, Grant! I like those tables.

[glennbad]

More excellent work, Grant!

[Shearer]

Thanks all for your nice comments.
Here is a coffee table I made in the last few weeks for one of my daughters.She likes the natural look.
The timber came from a tree I planted in 1986 and cut down in early 2017 after storm damage. (silky oak )

That came out nice! Sorry you had to lose a tree...but glad you got to save part of it, in a special way!

[doglegg]

Wow, didn't lose the tree just repurposed it.

Love that coffee table! I'm partial to the live edge look. I really like it.

These are Texas Bluebells, (Eustoma exaltatum). This flower was and is so widespread down around Brenham, Texas that it was the inspiration for the name of Bluebell Ice Cream Company.

Gorgeous zzyzzogeton, I went out to take a photo of our dinner plate hibiscus and got a bonus.

cute little feller was having supper.

we did have a thread about geology. Here is a Septarian Nodule aka lightning stone. They say about 150 million years old and found in less than a ten mile stretch. I ground and Polished the raised calcite end for effect. Plus two more.

[Quick Steel]

Interesting and lovely.

Yesterday, I was waiting for my son after work at the little pullout beside Booth Creek. When I went to step back out onto the street, I found this little guy at my feet. It was just about dead. In fact, five of its legs where already curled and it just had the strength to reach out the it’s foreleg and briefly hook my finger when I picked it up. That was it.
I think it’s a Western Flying Adder, and a bit out of its territory here. They do occur down in Washington though, and I guess this one snuck over the border!
I hauled it home and mounted it in a clear plastic box. Lovely, isn’t it? I have a shelf with a number of dragonfly items, and up she goes!

Ann, that's pretty neat! We have wads of Dragon Flies here in the Florida Panhandle. When viewed close up in the sun they have some wonderful bright colors. A few times we've seen literally hundreds of them maybe 5 or 6 foot above a planted field. Surely they had to be feasting on some smaller insect for that many to be concentrated in one spot.

Very cool, Ann! I like it!!
