I was wondering if one if you experienced members could help me figure out what I'm missing

You can quote my post to see what I may be missing

judging from your first post,it looks like the Picture isn't available any longer!

You need to make sure you have the URL of the actual Picture,instead of the Page the Image is on!

Here is the source picture >> http://i817.photobucket.com/albums/zz98/PHONETOOL/Garden%202013/5444444_zpsc2c2ab12.jpg

Now, don't get excited, I was only able to grab
the thumbnail (unable to enlarge it for some reason )
which leads me to believe the images have corrupted
format somewhere.

I placed it in MY photobucket to see it.

My suggestion is, you attempt a reload but I will
guess it also will not work.
Beyond me, sorry :-)

Still testing here:

Enlarged the thumbnail at photobucket, recopied the
link and it finally picked up the enlargement.
Some strange stuff here :-)
Loses pixel quality when you have to enlarge, of course.

Thanks for your help I appreciate your time.. How can you tell
I get excited easily.. lol

Well I've worked on Vbulletin and simple machine forms So I will figure this one out eventually It's part of the fun.

Yay!!!!!!
I see you had to go to imageshack to do it :-)

When things become difficult.. I think out-of-the-box to get the job done ;)
