AHA!!!!! I sent the email to this little netbook & saved all the pics with no problem.

Cool picture Patricia!  Thanks for sharing that!

Comment by Patricia on December 2, 2012 at 5:12pm

That's the trouble....my pc won't let me copy any more than that one picture. I just want to forward the whole email somehow. 

Comment by Steph S. on December 2, 2012 at 2:08pm

Hi Patricia! Lovely hummingbird photo. You could copy and paste the email and send it to the group here as a message. Perhaps that might work for you.

Comment by Patricia on December 2, 2012 at 2:00pm

Is there a way of forwarding the whole email to here?

Comment by Patricia on December 2, 2012 at 1:53pm

A rare treat... an albino hummingbird. Something that is seldom seem and almost NEVER photographed. Albino Hummingbird Fifteen-year-old photographer Marlin Shank was fortunate enough to capture several images of a rare albino ruby-throated hummingbird while in a park in Staunton , Va Very high quality photographs for such a fleeting subject... Pass this on so others may enjoy this rare and beautiful sight.

Got this in an email from a friend. Was not able to save all the pics, but there are several others. For some reason the pc only allowed the one pic to be saved.
