I’m Bummed

I am so disappointed.  I set aside special time today to update my blog.  I was intending to upload my photos from my recent vacation with my sister to Zion, Bryce, and the North Rim Grand Canyon to my Flickr site.  Then I was going to update my blog about my most awesome vacation with links to the photos. 

Well, I got on the computer to do just those things and first found that my camera was not working properly - it turns on then immediately off.  So, I changed batteries (several times because I just can’t believe something would break on me) to no avail.  I then put the photo memory card directly in to my computer.  The photos started to load and then abruptly stopped and I kept getting error messages.  When I put the memory card back in my camera, for the two seconds the camera stayed on, it advised me it could not read the card.  Dang it!!!

As a last resort, I will traipse to the nearest Walgreens to see if they can transfer the photos off the card and onto a disk for me.  I took 353 photos and my heart is sinking about them being lost forever.

That’s it for now.  If things work out, I’ll update in a much happier frame of mind later.UPDATE January 10, 2010:  My pictures were totally lost and unrecoverable.  The photo I’ve now placed at the beginning of this post is courtesy of Lisa.
