Carl has it set so the maximum attachment size is 450kb. Many photos need to be shrunk down to fit within that. If you are still having troubles, email your pictures to me or him and we will post them for you.

1 220 - Shortcut.lnk (file://BRYAN-PC/Users/Bryan/Pictures/2016-05-29%201/1%20220%20-%20Shortcut.lnk)
Lets see if this works. Might not be the easy way. I'll try and post a link next.
This was taken at the Battle of Texas exhibit

Bryan,
That file link will only work for you as only you are on the computer where it resides. Mail the images to carl @ Sitherwood dot com and I'll see what's up.

Thanks Carl.
The other pictures are too large of files. They were close ups of the cannon without me. The good thing is I now know how to post pictures

Good job. Glad it worked. I read a little on Wikipedia last night about that battle and the cannon. Quite interesting.

It was whittled with a Bowie knife! We all know what incredible knives those were. In the good ole days they could do practically anything with a Bowie.
