Today started out as every other Sunday, recently. I did the laundry and then headed to Lago Vista because I was out of some essentials....milk and bird seed! I picked up the needed supplies, and eventually went outside to enjoy the sunny, but windy, day. I put Emma on the leash, had my camera around my neck, and we headed out to see what there was to see. It seemed that hundreds of Missouri primrose had popped up overnight, and I chased down several butterflies for fantastic shots.
Back at the rig, I thought I heard the high pitched chattering of hummingbirds, so I dug out my hummingbird feeder, filled it, and set it outside within seven feet of my rocker. Then I sat down and waited. Sure enough, within an hour the hummers began to appear. The lighting was just right, and I took numerous shots of both male and female black-chinned hummingbirds. I also spent a couple of hours shooting more pics of avian friends.
As the sun was beginning to set, I headed indoors with great anticipation of editing all of the photos from today. That's when I discovered my mistake. Last night, I had neglected to put the 1GB flashcard back into the camera! :( That means all of my photos from today were nonexistent. What a bummer. I found that the flashcard had slid under my laptop, so I didn't notice it last night. Dang!
Oh well, I guess I'll just have to try again tomorrow....
Thanks for stopping by....talk to you later, Judy

Dontcha just want to cry when those things happen? I think the hummers will surely return for more of the same, and look forward to seeing some great pics.
