IT ALMOST GOT AWAY!

This pretty butterfly fluttered by me and landed on deck the other day. I quickly dashed inside and up the stairs to the office to get my camera. Fortunately, the butterfly was still there, slowly opening and closing its wings in the bright sunlight. Glancing at the LCD screen after the first shot showed that the exposure was good. Click, click, click. Several shots later the butterfly took off. I clicked the preview button anxious to see how the shots came out. “NO CARD” “NO CARD” flashed at my unbelieving eyes. Darn (or something a little harsher). The card was in the computer to download pictures from the previous night’s football game!

I was upset with myself for missing out on the pictures. But redemption arrived about half an hour later. The butterfly came back and landed on the deck for another break. This time I had the camera WITH the SD card in place. A lesson learned.
