    Strangely poppy like magnolia against the blue.

    unfolding

    It's a very springy thing, innit?

    And for the blue, I give you the green from last year (lost to frost, sadly).

    Because of reasons, I spent days tramping around the streets of Taumarunui around about this time last year. The magnolias were magnificent.

    Apparently they were also growing sideways. I have no idea how to fix that, I'm sorry.

    iPhone, actually, but I guess the same issues apply. Alternatively, I'd go with photographer incompetence as a plausible explanation. :-)

    The Apple fell sideways from the tree?

    Actually, at least for me, if you click through to the image itself, it re-orients to right way up. So something going on in the thumb-nailing?

    Anyway, nice shots, and thanks for joining in. :-)

    revolutionary idea...
    I get that when I rotate pictures in Preview (Mac) it doesn't always stick in other applications.

    If you have access to Photoshop you could rotate to 'Baseline down' and then 'save as' to overwrite any other invisible attached instructions.

    worth a crack

    Excuse me while I test a theory.

    ETA: Theory proven... sort of.

    The images you posted were full size, and the system may not like that when making a thumbnail. I resized them using preview to maximum 1200 height, then saved them again.

    However, in an unscientific moment, I also changed the case of the extension from .JPG to .jpg, as there have been issues parsing the uppercase version before.

    Which means... I don't know which one worked.

    Further research may be required to change current practice. :-)

    aaah - that may be it
    one rotates and saves and maybe the original preview stays
    but a 'Save as' should update the preview/thumbnail - I think

    Then there's the colour purple...

    (All of these come from a walk around the garden yesterday when the rain stopped).

    This isn’t a plant, but a building that has recently been restored, and emerged from its scaffolding. Jetty St, Dunedin.

    A couple of splashes of yellow.

    (though I'm sure that 2nd one was a lot greener in real life...)
