i just posted the 1st image to croton 'angustissimum' and did not notice that it was turned sideways. so i got 2 acorns, but i had to delete it in order to repost. Deletion did not remove the acorns. and adding it the 2nd time gave me 2 more acorns.
i don't know why image turns sideways on upload - it happens a lot. i just go back to my image on the drive and turn it left and then back to right. then upload again. sometimes it works from the 1st try, but sometimes i have to repeat the procedure.
it's a camera, not a phone pic. and yes, SOME of them are verticals, so originally they appear sideways and i re-orient them on my drive. but others are horizontals and they flip sideways on upload occasionally too. seems to be inconsistent.

It's hard to get consistency with images like that, but I can rotate images after they are uploaded. When this happens, just give me a link to the image and I'll rotate it for you.

oki-doki! i usually look carefully before i click accept, but this one was so-o busy that i couldn't figure out left or right at a glance.
