Nice follow-through

now they can all be moved to the guide. You might want to edit titles and perhaps include dates in them so when viewed in thumbnail form the progression is clear. You can see what I mean here - only one image needs to be opened to get the info for the series - dates appear when you run the cursor over the thumbnails.

Thanks, Hannah...

..can you check the photos to see if I've added enough info?

Titles look good

and I've reordered them so they make a logical progression, with the butterfly as the last image.
