  1. I especially love those photos from Llyn Celyn in the beginning. They are beautiful and the landscape is so calming. It has some similarity of landscape in Finland “Beyond the Arctic Circle”.

    • Thank you so much. I’m pleased you enjoyed them. I’ve never been to Finland, but it is on my bucket list, as is most of the rest of the world!! I love travelling, but I love returning home too. Blessings from Lizzie Joy

    • Thank you so much for your kind comment. Yes, Wales is very beautiful. It’s only now that I have started to photograph it, that I am really seeing the beauty all around me. To make a slide show – when you have uploaded your photos, carry on scrolling down and you will see two options – one for a gallery of images and one for a slideshow. You can use either. In this particular case, I used both options. Hope this helps. Thank you for sharing your articles too. I was drawn to your site as soon as I saw it. Blessings from Lizzie Joy

    • Just had another thought about the slide show you asked about. You first have to make sure it is turned on in your dashboard, as follows: Dashboard – Settings – Media – Image Gallery Carousel – Display images in full size carousel slide show. I’ve ticked Show Meta Data, as well. Although I’m not sure what that’s for at the moment. I’m still finding my way around, so there’s a lot of trial and error. But that’s how we learn, so no problem. Hope your project is going well. Blessings from Lizzie Joy.

      • Thanks again. It seems the more we play with things the more we learn huh? I’ll continue to play too. Are you also on Instagram? That is an app on the iphone where you can take photos and upload them instantly. Kinda fun. I was in Ireland and had a photo walk with a photographer there named Paul Freeney. He showed it to me. He’s a great photographer too. Weather in Nashville is good today and I am off to show a friend how to set up lights for a portrait shoot! Peace.

    • Thank you so much for your encouraging comment, and also for the follow. Thank you, too, for the lovely posts/photos on your site. I am happy to have found you. Blessings from Lizzie Joy
