I guess it's human nature, just figuring that nothing will go wrong, once you've got your good photos, especially on digital! I sure learned my lesson. Backup, here we come. But I did have an "excuse" to go visit Beryl again, and I learned even more. So the old saying that there's always something good that comes out of something bad holds true. Jackie Good idea, Suzy.

As a reporter then editor for nearly 30 years (and now a farm writer) I always shoot at least a couple of photos with a back up camera! Even if it's just my trusty old 35 mm because if something happens to the electronic photos, at least I can put those on disc or scan them in! I learned that lesson the hard way when I covered a HUGE house fire about 18 years ago. Just about every volunteer fire department in the county was there and it would have made some fantastic photos---and supporting the local volunteer fire departments was one of my specialities! But I stripped the film taking it out of my camera and the photos were RUINED!!!! And I was the ONLY reporter there! So I've always shot at least a couple of photos with a back up camera ever since!!!! I still read EVERY word you write!!!!!!! And I pray for you in tending to your mom! I went through all that with my mama last year. Suzy a/k/a/ Bama Suzy Jackie, I just read where you had accidentally deleted the photos you took and had to visit the tree expert to make new ones!
