For two days now, I can’t bring up your photo on either my laptop or iPhone. Can you email the picture to me?
Hey Dan, I’m
Sorry you’re having trouble. I checked with Nancy and a couple of other blog readers and they were not having the same issue. I have sent a private email to you with a link to the blog to try, along with the picture and caption for this post. Hope that helps.
Whatever you did it worked! I see the falls within your blog. I’m glad you pointed out Scatman. I might have missed him. I would go miles for a good falls! Have you hiked the San Ysidro Falls trail in Montecito on one of your trips to SB? Nice photographic touch with the oak (?) leaves in the foreground.
