Sweet Dreams

I went for a walk at Needham Lake this afternoon and saw this Heron flying across the lake and coming to rest on the bushes.   He was a long way across the lake so not as sharp as I would like, but I watched as he preened himself and then looked like he tucked his head down by his wings to have a late afternoon snooze.
I've bought myself a Nikon Coolpix S9700 to use when I'm out on my own, but am having difficulty uploading the image onto blip.   I'm having to use the Advanced Uploader and consequently you cannot see the image that will show as a thumbnail until it has been uploaded, which can be very disconcerting sometimes.
Does anyone else have this problem or am I just being dense and the problem is with me and not the system!!   My boss calls it user error when I get a hiccup on the computers at work!!
