Still Life with Robin: And the Bloom Goes On...

 by Peggy Robin

I'm slowly developing some seasonal features for the Still Life with Robin column. Last winter I opened up a public photo album for Snowfall pictures and continued it this year. I'll also be keeping up and adding to the Halloween album that I started two years ago (Halloween 2024). But the biggest and most popular one so far is Spring Flowers.

I just added twenty new photos, all taken on recent walks around the neighborhood.

Here are a few samples.

Click on the album to see the whole collection and enjoy the blooms in a pollen-free way!

And by all means, feel free to add your own photos. Upload instructions:

1. Go to the PHOTOS section of the Listserv and click on "Spring Flowers" (the 9th album in the section).
2. Click on the green "+ADD PHOTOS" button.
3. Drag and drop each photo you want to add, one by one, or hit "click to choose photos".
4. (Optional) Write a brief description of each photo. Useful info: When and where the photo was taken.
5. Hit "Upload"
6. Do NOT check "notify members".  The correct way to let readers know that you've added your photos(s) to the album is to write a message to clevelandpark@groups.io about the photos you have added to a Listserv album. Copy and paste into your message the link to access each photo. That way, readers get to choose whether or not they want to view your photos. (If you click the "notify members" button, everyone gets a notification, whether they want to view your photos or not -- and the moderator will be very annoyed at you. If I knew how to disable this feature in Groups.io photo albums, I would.)

As we approach vacation season, I am contemplating starting a VACATION PHOTOS album so that we can vicariously enjoy all the exotic, far-flung places our readers have seen in their travels (plus many nearby popular spots, as all your vacation places, near and far, will be welcome!)

Enjoy the blooms!
