Gallery Annoyances

Of late I have stopped uploading photos to my local gallery install because I wasn’t happy with the UI. I want to start using plogger integrated with wordpress when I get the time, and it seems that I need it more than I thought. Whilest scanning through the search terms that hit my site it seems that at present the most popular incoming search is for “box hill” leading to some photos I took on a day out last year – Box Hill Photos – in particular one of the photos it seems has drawn some interest from someone writing a book – however due to the quality commenting system integrated in gallery I have a name and IP address but no email address to contact the interested party – so Jackie if you read this please comment below and i’ll get back to you!

Leonardslee – Lakes & Gardens

As a late birthday treat, it was dull and rainy on my birthday, we went to Leonardslee – Lakes & Gardens yesterday. We had a really good day out and even though the garden is not yet in full bloom there is still a lot to see, including the wallabies! I had a chance tonight to sort through the photos that I took and here are few of them including my favourites:

A flowerAnother flowerA Canada gooseAn even more lovely flowerA wallaby!A birdA tasteful photo of a some fernsA picture postcard view!

All the work involved in uploading these photos, and doing all the resizing necessary to make them web-safe sizes reminds me that I really must get on and finish this new theme and implement the mini-photoblog sidebar that I want to have down the right-hand side of the site.
