Crashed Hard Drive & Lost Photos
David Clulow
I have been overwhelmed by the enormous amount of offers of help to restore my photos. It is extremely humbling and I am extremely grateful.
From being rather discouraged a few weeks ago I now feel that my efforts are appreciated and this gives me lots of encouragement to continue.
However, all was not lost. I made a CD for Mark Dimmitt to select some photos for his book and fortunately kept a copy although Mark kindly offered to return his copy to me. Also I am occasionally asked to lecture to universities and horticultural societies and these are on disc and I keep copies. Many of you may have forgotten that we have a mirror site on Google – groups.google.com/group/Adenium - where I always put a copy of any of my messages to this group containing photos. Consequently yesterday I downloaded three years of my messages. Any members new to this group, who wish, can see all my old postings with photos at that site (there are some very nice photos there). So all I have really lost are my monkey photos and my personal photos. So this will stimulate me to taking lots more photos!
I am still having trouble putting pictures into messages without having to use attachments; so here is a test:
This is ‘Harry Potter’ x ‘Moonlight Fairy’
