I am trying to make a picture larger in an outgoing email, but I don't know where the picture is to get the URL address? If this helps, it is my facebook picture?

If you are using a webmail account via your browser and attaching pictures to messages sent from such an account, there is nothing you can do in your browser to edit it when it's attached. You need to edit the picture before attaching it to your message.

Picture upload sites like Imgur provide tools for resizing and editing pictures, if you want to use your browser - just upload the picture, edit, and use the provided link. On Facebook you can merely rotate pictures.

Since you are on Windows, I would recommend installing Paint dot NET for easy picture editing like resizing. It is straightforward to use compared to more advanced software. In this case, you will need to download the picture to your computer and then open it up in the editing software.

If you need to know the link/address/URL to a picture on Facbook:

  1. Open the picture view in Facebook by left-clicking the picture.
  2. Right-click the picture (careful not to click on the interface instead) in Firefox.
  3. Left-click Copy image location in the pop-up menu.
  4. Left-click the text field where you want to paste/write the address in.
  5. Press Ctrl+V to paste the link. You can also right-click the text field and select Paste.

You can save pictures from Facebook onto your computer for editing and uploading to services like Imgur or as attachments to webmail emails. The option to do so is in one of the menus you can open when you hover your mouse cursor over the picture (they fade in on the bottom edge of the picture).

Edit: text cleanup.
