Many thanks Hanna. I was quite lucky to catch them in bloom then, and I'll check on them again to see how they go.

Yes. I've too much time invested in Alamy to give up, and despite a few quiet periods and those now sadly common penny sales it's generally returning a welcome monthly figure. I've chosen to reduce the costs and effort in travel etc rather than quantity of images. If I do ever catch up with the backlog of photos then I'd ...

These are a fairly recent addition to the raggedy palm trees that we also have along our seafront at Southend. Would I be correct in tagging these as Agave angustifolia? It'll be interesting to see how they cope with our winter (also known as summer!).

Agreed +1 Since the 'fix' my figures are once again heading down hill and apart from PUs my sales have repeated the August pattern of a strong first week and then nothing. Although it's really too early in the month to make that kind of assumption, it's still a worry that we're heading down the same path.

The page was down for a period this morning, with the boy searching for the issue with his binoculars. It's very clear that there are serious issues with Alamy's systems, the only question being whether they are migrating to a new one which will be more stable or are they just patching up holes as they appear.

Perhaps some parties do prefer a stated period of time over the open ended 'in perpetuity'. A computerised system may struggle to understand that idea.
