Saw one of these outside the back door on the Busy Lizzie tub. Never seen one before.
Just managed to get a quick snap which doesn't do it justice......

Strange cause it works with other pictures

Edvet I don't think I can see any of your pictures, certainly most of them are just codes, you must have a private setting.

Strange, must be a pbase thing, just read on their forum they seem to have those problems.
Ah ok time to look for a new photosite then i guess.Most here work with Flickr i guess

I was trying to snap these when I was in France this summer but I kept fiddling with settings too much and couldn't capture one. Managed to get the butterflies instead as they stayed still long enough...
