Message in sand left intact, untouched

Backstory

I have a picture to go along with this memoir, from last weekend when I wrote a message to my Mom (in heaven), in the sand. I took a picture today, to show that it was still there, in the sand, intact and untouched! However, I'm afraid the picture will be upside down if I try posting it.

Post it, we can read upside down!!! That is awesome!

jl333 says,

Okay three monkeys...I'll give it a shot. Will trying posting a picture

jl333 says,

And of course, it's still upside down. Obviously, I couldn't fit the entire message into the photo, but you get the idea. Surely my mom must be laughing...she'd know how to post pictures. She was good at things like that

Dragonflower says,

Good news,jl333. It is not you, its the iphone! I googled it and so many folks have this prob. People try to post their stuff on craigslist and...upside down. It makes them swear! There are suggestions for temp fixes. Maybe one will work for you. I love your photos, upside down or not!

But it says WOW. How good is that?

jl333 says,

Thanks DE for the tip. This is my first iPad...and usually I'm so far behind on the times. If it wasn't for my Mom, I wouldn't even have a computer. She insisted I have one right before she died. She bought me the computer I have now if I promised to go back to school and take a basic computer class. I fulfilled my promise. Glad to know you don't mind my upside down photos

This is so great -- Mom and WOW are the same word. It's all good. And I'm glad your sand message is not intangible (and unintelligible), at the mercy of the first wave that touches it. Just like Mom - the message is strong.

I love your upside down photos. It gives them a little extra pizzaz. Love the message and memoir, too.

It is one of your (and many others) quirks.

DynamicDbytheC says,

meant yours

DynamicDbytheC says,

actually I didn't mean yours. average sleep per night this week 2.

jl333 says,

Make up your mind woman!

jl333 says,

Of course you know I'm kidding...we fully understand your lack of sleep DD

Dragonflower says,

Ah, an ipad. I house/petsat for my daughter who has one. I kept taking pics of Van, the dog, upside down. Finally, I just stood on my head and that seemed to work better! haha ha. Actually, I rotated them afterwards, but felt this wasn't great technology if you had to do all that tweaking business.

Don't give up adding pictures. They add so much to the story!
