Sorry, been offline for a couple of days. Clearly my appointment for an eye check and glasses update are overdue!

H is for Hibiscus

@shawnc next should be M, not H.

Can you update your entry?

I will do that. It only takes one to throw the whole thing off, huh? My apologies
Wow, Guess I need to learn my alphabet again...

I seem to remember that you just had to choose one thing, either a shape, texture, pattern or colour and couldn't ask for a combination of two or more.

I've recently noticed two "requests" for a double one. Have the rules changed or is my memory incorrect?

I think you're right about choosing one thing for the next image.

From the 1st post in the thread:

2. After their image, they should have posted either a shape or color or texture or pattern.

@JAG ?

@JAG ?

you are correct. I guess things get away from us as we try and be creative in our next picture selection. If anyone posts two descriptive words, then the person who is looking for a picture to post, can pick the one that fits their image the best, rather than trying to get a person to edit their post. That way the game can continue without pause.

@JAG --- next is missing from this entry

JAG

@denisegoldberg I'm still scratching my head on this one. As I remember writing Next: water drop shape

pegelli

There seems to be a problem between SmugMug and DGrin, suddenly JAG and my images aren't showing anymore.
But it's not all SmugMug, some others who store their photos there show fine

I also checked on a different computer/connection and it seems to be the same for me anywhere.

Can anybody else see JAG and my photo's here?

Here's another test:
1 "Original size":

2 "XL":

EDIT June 11: testing one of Richard's observations in the support thread:

Yup, that works, the direct link works, but a link that puts you back to the photo in SmugMug when clicking it doesn't.

Obviously I'm not going to edit all my old posts

There is definitely a problem but as of this writing, we don't know what's causing it--I speculated yesterday that it was related to the Fastly CDN outage, but that's supposedly resolved, so perhaps it's something else. Vanilla support is investigating, so stay tuned.

pegelli

Thanks for the update Richard!

Richard, what would be the odds that it is because Pieter and I post so much?? We are the top posters on the board.
Such an annoying circumstance! Hopefully they will figure it out soon!

S is for Stork

Great photo Joyce, but are you sure it's a stork and not a pelican?

V is for Vegetables

I'm sorry for missing an entire page of entries! I'm having intermittent ISP problems and will check more thoroughly from now on!!!

seeing it on a new day, you are correct Pieter! Must be a senior moment thing. I've been getting them a little more than I care to admit! LOL!

Coop shape (actually a pig coop, not a chicken coop)

What's next?

pegelli

Sorry Denise, forgot to include what I had in mind. Now edited and added

@lkbart said:
Paper texture

Next: Cat shape

@lkbart your entry is out of order - there are 2 entries following the request for paper texture before your post.

Next is slate texture.

lkbart

That next page got me again. Looking for slate now....

Insect shape

The texture of wood grain

@sarasphotos did you mean to post this photo for insect shape? It looks like it carried over from your alphabet game challenge post.

Oops, fixed it!

Wow, that's an interesting bug!

some kind of caterpillar, I guess - it was moving slowly enough that I could capture it!

Sorry - I clicked the topic instead of the last date and displayed the wrong page. I have replaced the post with an apology!

Thanks

Next - the colors Avarado green and black

Jo, can you explain what Avarado green is? I never heard of it and when I googled it it suggested it was misspelled and I should look for Avocado green

Pieter. What, you've never heard of Avarado ? it's a distant cousin of an Avocado and is the same color. OK, you caught me being fat fingered again! Sorry - I did mean avocado.

thanks for the catch.
