As Bob said, you probably want 2 in this case

When working with URLs, the leading slash means find the directory
relative to the document root. In your case this is the directory that is
equivalent to

home.ca.rr.com/rosenfeld

Without the leading slash, you are saying find the directory relative to
the directory that contains the referring document (i.e. pics.html or
whatever).

Over time you will find that both notations are useful.
