Thanks, @tatiang. I figured it _should_ work. I read through a number of topics here and tried a handful of different approaches, but it’s still not working. Yet.

Hmmm, I’m not quite sure what you’re saying here. Should I try changing the “Partly cloudy…” text with the URL to see if it shows the URL?

Or am I misunderstanding and you’re suggesting I try something else?

I tried that, but it’s still not visible when I try to pull from my URL in a standalone `get` block. I also tried changing the resize options, in case that was the culprit (i.e. stretch, contain, etc), but got no love.

Was a good idea, tho. I need to remember to isolate and re-test when something doesn’t cooperate. `</note to self>`

Any other ideas? I’m thinking about trying this next. [How to retrieve images with a Spreadsheet component](https://community.thunkable.com/t/how-to-retrieve-images-with-a-spreadsheet-component/28670)

PS – whoops, forgot to add a screenshot of the rest of the blocks involved
