Hi Stephen & thanks for the ids & corrections.
=20
When I checked out what the viewer is able to see on my wife's computer=2C =
I was surprised. So limited!

Thumbnail views are not easy to find but I can send a second link to everyo=
ne that shows something similar:

If you have a normal size screen you should see three photos across (with m=
y 22" screen I can see four). Then you can continue to scroll down to see t=
he rest of the pics from the most recent to the earliest. You can also do a=
single click on a pic to see it in larger size & also see my comments & th=
e comments of others.
Then click the back arrow to return.=20

Is this the photo you thought was a mayfly?
