Opposite Sides, Still

The French and British haven’t always gotten along so well in Nova Scotia, so spotting the English cucumber sign on the opposite side from the Tour de New France poster sort of made my day.

Darn, I can’t get to see the detail on my laptop. (Sulks.)

I’m sorry you can’t see it. And thanks for the reminder that not everyone has the same kind of monitor I have – it’ll help me be more careful in the future!

I spotted the Tour de New France poster and then really struggled to see a cucumber anywhere – then I cleaned my glasses and hey presto I saw the box far right

Andy – after I posted this I realized that it wasn’t necessarily a good choice for the blog, as your comment illustrates!

But we were all searching for the cucumbers – so you got our attention!

My good friend and mentor Brett Erickson (https://brettlerickson.wordpress.com/) talks about leaving “cookie crumbs” for viewers to find in images. Maybe this is what he meant!

The main problem is that clicking on the image doesn’t launch it in a separate window, where a bigger version can be seen. I have noticed that default changing on one of the themes I use around the new year. But perhaps you changed the setting? I often take a close look at your photos and now I have to right click and get it to open in an new tab and go from there (though the image is no larger I find, at least I can enlarge it myself, a bit).
I have one sister that lives in England. And one that lives in France. They seem to meet more often in Canada than they do in Europe, the English Channel (or whatever the French call it) being such a big obstacle.

I didn’t change anything on the settings, but sometimes WP changes things on my behalf. Whether I want it to or now.
Maybe they meet in Canada so they can be on neutral-ish ground?

I think WP changed the default for uploaded image URLs so they are attached to the blog or attached to something different than before. It’s hard to check on my phone or I’d be more exact.
That could be. Or one cycles (you know, is spinny) and the other is a cucumber. Sisters being what they are.

Even when I right-click, the image is only slightly larger than the regular one. For whatever that’s worth.

Hmmm. I have noticed that quite often the images are much sharper, even if it a tiny bit larger. Not just your blog, but most WP blogs.
