Hi Nina,
Glad you made it to the blog! Thanks for photograghing last Thurs, I think you might have problems trying to download all the photos straight onto the blog as the files are quite large. I have had problems downloading photos myself. You may have to use a photodatabase site, http:// www.flickr.com. See how you go, maybe pick out a few of the more interesting ones to dowload.
Cheers
Shae
