On my MacBookPro what I do is 2 finger click on the photo I want, from the menu select Save Image As, when the box comes up, rename as desired and save to Pictures.  

To insert at BCO select the Mountains (Picture) box, select Choose File, open your pictures folder and click on the name you gave the photo, click Open and it will upload.

I am so glad I dumped my pc for a mac 2 years ago, it is so intuitive and so much easier in all respects!

And then I type any scene I'm thinking of...  Then I just click on the picture, Right click and "copy", then come back to where I want to post it,  Right click here, and Left click to "paste"...

Columbia River Gorge, walking behind Ponytail Falls

socallisa

Love that. Where on the Gorge is it?

georgie1112

Hi Lisa,

This is on the Horsetail trail on the Oregon side of the Gorge about 40 miles east of Portland. Think the names were cute (Horsetail Falls for the larger waterfall and Ponytail Falls for the smaller). Love the mountain photo you posted. I need o get out I to nature. It is so healing for me!

This was taken on Block Island, Rhode Island. The area is called Mohegan Bluffs. It's a heck of a bike ride to get up there, but well worth it. One of my very favorite places!

Edit to add: IN THE SUMMER.

Love this topic!  You all have such beautiful pictures.

I took this on my morning walk today.  Usually not this sunny and warm on the Northern CA coast in January.  Feeling very blessed!

Marple

Yep, I could live there too!  Really pretty picture jwilco.

Georgi, we have friends who live in White Salmon. We love to see them. They have a home overlooking the Gorge and Mt. Hood. Spectacular.
