You can do this by -

Downloading and installing Picassa image viewer software –

and the intgerating the Picassa uploader plugin which uploads photos to Facebook account -

Simplest method is what Ferdinan mentioned. Download the images then upload them via facebooks methods such as using the status bar (can enter text, links, images etc) or go into your albums on facebook, and you can upload from there.

Definitely the easiest method without needing to install extra software.

Facebook has a built-in service especially for such images. It is called a post-by-email address.
“Your post-by-email address is an email address you can use to upload photos or videos to your account from your mobile phone.

To find your post-by-email address, go to m.facebook.com and log in.
Under the space to type a status update there’s a “Photo” link. Click it.
Underneath “Upload via Email” you’ll see a unique email address

Status updates or photos you send to this email address will be published directly onto your Facebook account, so don’t share it with anyone else.

To add a caption to your photo or video, include a subject in the email. If you don’t include any photos or videos, the email subject will be your updated status
Important: Photos and videos uploaded via email are public by default, but you can always change the privacy setting of any photo album

Facebook has a built-in feature for precisely this purpose! It’s called a post-by-email address. The fastest way to find it is to go to m.facebook.com/upload.php

Your post-by-email address is an email address you can use to upload photos or videos to your account from your mobile phone.

To find your post-by-email address, go to m.facebook.com and log in.
Click Photo under the space provided for typing a status update
Underneath “Upload via Email” you’ll see a unique email address

Status updates or photos you send to this email address will be published directly onto your Facebook account, so don’t share it with anyone else.

download the pics from the email to your desktop, upload the pic to face book using the uploader tool and find the pic where you saved it on the desktop, then once uploaded delete the pic of your desktop.

If you receive email on your phone, you could forward the pictures from your phone through text message to your unique Facebook email address and it will upload them. Your only other option would be to go onto your computer, download the images, and upload them via the Facebook website.
