Link to Pictures of Opening Milkweed Pods

Barb, at Handbook of Nature Study, has a couple of terrific pictures of milkweed pods as part of her Outdoor Hour Challenges. We didn't see them open ourselves, so it was nice to be able to view it here.

  1. Hi Jen,
    I've been a bit more dedicated to the blog I started and am wondering how you got the pictures in your blog side by side?

    If you're interested, it's:
    melissen.blogspot.com

    later,

  2. Hi John,
    It's really easy. (I'm fighting with a three-year-old right now for control of the cursor - him by mouse, me by keyboard.)
    When you click on the picutre icon to upload a photo, the little pop-up window where you do it has a spot where you can choose the picture size (small, medium, large) and the location (left, right, centre). With the format of my blog I can get 2 photos side by side if I do left and right(which is what I did for the butterfly post), for example. And it typically takes a bit of fiddling for me to get the layout right. I expect that once I've posted the photos of the caterpillar pupating I'm going to go easy on photo posts for a while. They're really time-consuming on my internet connection, and doing multiple photos in a post takes AGES!
    BTW: I hopped over to melissen.blogspot.com and took a peek. Looks good. I hope to visit again. Jennifer
