I enjoy doing crystal art making cards and different size pictures I can't show you them as I don't know how to take them off my phone and place them on here

Perhaps send them by phone email to a computer and save them?

Log onto Worthy with your phone if you can.  Then you can select the choose files and your phone should let you pick a picture or take another.

Aside from the email solution others have suggested you can also buy a cord to connect your phone to your PC. The specific type varies a little according to your phone, though, so you'd have to research a bit. On my PC (I'm using a Windows system, it may be different for Linux and others)  whenever I connect the phone to it I get a popup message on the phone asking me if I want to allow it to access what's on my phone.

The little thing in the upper left corner is an EF 0 tornado that shortly after I snapped the picture ripped the top 15 feet out of the tops of those trees and dumped them right where I was standing.  The white light is a humongous bolt of lightening.

Yes they are! Had one hit near me, saw all the woods, brush, and animals, all  lift off the ground light up in fire for an amazing acre or more; animals  and flaming rabbits flying about everywhere.

Then the tornado hit me while still in my old work van, spun me around several times, sending me across the wide hwy divide through the grassy dividing knoll and up the wrong side of the hwy  where I had to crank the wheel and just flip it on  it's side to avoid a head on collision.

But you got the picture of one, awesome!

Nice shot, done at the right moment. I tried capturing lightning before but never managed to do it right. 

I prefer photos of nature and natural events myself. I lost a trove of photos I had taken in the mountains of stunning sunsets, thunderstorms hundreds of miles away (those are amazing to watch from high altitude), and various things like arroyos and cholla cacti.

From our Spring Garden:

 

Clivia miniata, commonly known as the Natal lily, fire lily, or bush lily, is a delightful evergreen perennial plant native to South Africa. With its lush, strap-shaped leaves and vibrant clusters of trumpet-shaped orange flowers, it truly stands out, particularly in shady garden spots or as an indoor plant. Not just a pretty face, the Clivia miniata is also admired for its resilience and ability to thrive in low light conditions.

Clivia miniata belongs to the family Amaryllidaceae. This family is known for its ornamental plants that often have beautiful, showy flowers. Members of this family include other well-loved plants such as amaryllis, daffodils, and snowdrops.

Where I lived a long time ago:

The Chihuahuan ravens were a sociable lot in those mountains. One of them was a talker. The bird would land on top of a nearby fence post while I was working and greet me: "Hello!"

I never had the opportunity to become acquainted with the turkey vultures. I would spot them soaring high above. 

The ubiquitous western diamondback rattlesnake. I never encountered one on my adopted mother's land. They were pretty much all over the place. 

 

Bears love the Manzano apple trees planted by Spanish settlers hundreds of years ago. They grow wild in the mountains. 

 

Mountain lions (cougar) were spotted occasionally. Like bear, they generally stick to higher elevations (unless those bears are going after those apple trees, that is). 

Another friendly neighbor: the nonvenomous bull snake. I was surprised by how laid-back they are. They minded their own business. 

 

One of the more interesting neighbors who would come around once in a while: Cooper's Hawk. They were striking to watch. 

 

Every year, I'd listen to the trumpeting calls of bull elk. A very distinctive sound. 

 

It was a fascinating place to live.

I took this photo twenty feet from my front door. I often wonder, in light of Genesis 1:30, whether this (and other predators vs. prey in the animal world) is a result of the fall of man?

"And to every beast of the earth, and to every foul of the air, and to every thing that creeps upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so."

That is creepy.
