I had intended to use these photos to test a flip-book plugin, but I found it cumbersome for my limited purposes. So I looked at the various WordPress gallery/slideshow plugins and settled on this one (NextGEN Gallery)—for now, at least.
I’ll be futzing with it for a while, seeing if I can add captions, rearrange images, enable comments, figure out the difference between a “gallery” and an “album,” determine the optimal file size, etc. So don’t be surprised or miffed if it doesn’t look the same the next time you visit.
And now, without further ado: the dogwood we planted about 15 years ago as it manifests itself through the seasons, plus the critters that visit it.
Update 2014.01.28: I recently discovered that NextGEN Gallery now destroy whatever page it is used on (i.e., a blank page with absolutely no code in it). So I have replaced all pages with NGG slideshows with what amounts to contact sheets with links to the full images, using gallery code native to WordPress.
