Figuring out how to upload

Thanks Spinneretta & Ann for the formating advice. I've been uploading images directly from Flickr, which seems to send them here at actual size. This one I did thru blogger itself.
Uploading from Flickr saves a few steps, but I can't see a way to change the image size when posting from it (besides having smaller original images uploaded to Flickr).

EDM 079- draw an ear
This elderly man was sitting in front of me. I took my time studying him. As I drew him I felt a bit self-conscious. Wondering what he'd think of me sketching him.

Another shoe. I was sitting with my boot on my knee & leaning it on the bench in front of me.

EDM#020- something "dad" My grandpa's pocket knife.

I started a new journal. The previous one was frustrating in its shoddy binding & floppy leather cover. I'm trying out a small landscape format Hand.Book instead of a moleskine. It's better than the previous one.

Behind the pool house at the park sits the baseball diamond. The bleachers are shorter than usual. I liked how the pole stood out against a background of trees.

An afternoon at the municipal pool. It's hazy, hot, & humid. She is staring off into the distance, bored with work. I don't try any fancy diving tricks when she's in this zone. (Yeah right- what diving tricks do I actually have?!)

Phyllis across the street has a laissez-faire gardening ethic. This time of the year her front porch is well hidden by the ivy a overgrown bushes.

The view from Millwood Mennonite Church early in the morning. The corn (in front of the chicken barn) is waist high; soon some sweet corn.
The scanner has shifted the colors towards yellow.

The derelict terminal of the local airport. The new airport is nice. What will they do with this old hulk?
