That's because it's reading it from your computer. Look at the path to
your image file:
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Owner/Desktop/weed/weed.jpg
You need to put your photo on your web server, and link from it there.


Found it:

Now that I can see the image, it is defintely Japanese knotweed, Polygonum
cuspidatum. This is not an annual but a perennial weed that can become
shrubby in time. Pulling is not the answer - you can actually increase its
spread by inadvertantly leaving portions of the root rhizomes either above
or underground. This is a plant that calls for and responds to herbicide
applications, typically repeat applications. As mentioned previously,
control is not easy, but you don't appear to have a huge problem.....yet.
