Sorry, but I'm really surprised anyone would make those "Bah, humbug!" arguments.
In the spirit of sharing, I just thought it would be a nice feature, since there are so many great pics here.
They've inspired me to look closer at the beauty around me, and to enjoy gardening more than ever, and
to pass it on to others.
You're right......I could take the time to go to each photographer and ask their permission.
But it would be 1000x better, imho, to have a gallery of images anyone was free to pick from (or not!)
to enjoy as a background.
I still believe there are many here who would be happy to share their photos, and many who would love to
see them as a full screen background image. Just need to find them.
BTW,
thanks to the Fab Four who supported the idea so far.
