French and Italian Alps 2016
« on: June 21, 2016, 01:03:03 PM »
This year I had the chance to make several trips to the alps and I would like to share some of the pictures. I did visit some non-mountainous Provence areas on my first trip, which was at the end of february, but the three other trips were concentrated on the alps. I will begin with some pictures from february.

Not exactly sure what this one is called. Matricaria maybe. Some vineyards where completely covered in it.

Posting pictures doesn't work for me, I've tried at least a dozen times. I end up on an empty page, and my post is not being posted. Can anybody help me out here?

Hi Vincent  - no idea what is happening for you - but there are great photos from you appearing here.   You do not see photos in preview - perhaps that is the issue? Pix only appear when posted.
 John W. reported that he only saw the text of his posts until he clicked on the post, but I have no idea what's happening there either.  So many people using so many different tablets etc that it is hard to know what the problem might be.

As I say , your posts are appearing here perfectly.  8)

Thank you for answering. My initial post worked perfectly fine, but after that, out of a dozen attempts only one came through. I thought it might be too many pictures for one post so I reduced the amount but that doesn't help. I just get redirected to an empty page. I will try again.

Five attempts later. Only the first one came through. Maybe it has something to do with the resize function so I'll try resizing myself.

Uploading works fine now that I resize the pictures myself.

Moving on to April. On my way to the alps I made a stop in Crémieu to see Pulsatilla rubra. It was a fantastic start and a lovely day.

Primula vulgaris (P. acaulis in Flora Alpina  ???)
Viola sp. with much larger flowers than its neighbors
and Primula x polyantha (P. veris x P. vulgaris)

Pulsatilla rubra. What a way to start the holidays. I could photograph these for hours. And I probably did  :)
