On the patio, planning the day while the sun is rising. Canoeing? Cycling? Hiking? Lets have another coffee. Finally my beloved wife and I decided to go for a hike. Having my honorable PSE&M friends in mind, and to complete this light and humble contribution of mine on summer, I got the idea of adding to it a picture of the trail we would be doing. So, I brought my camera. After walking for a while, I found the spot for the perfect shot. It was showing the trail on the edge of the forest as well as the lake it was surrounding. We would almost hear the birds signing on the image I was about to create. My camera was already turned on. I looked in the viewfinder, carefully adjusted my settings, meticulously framed, and pressed on the shutter. With confidence, I pressed on the playback button to look at the results on the screen, where the following message appeared: “No card in camera”. The card was still at home in my desktop computer, from earlier in the day when I extracted and posted the image mentioned above as a humble summer contribution of mine. Dear honorable PSE&M friends, you will have to take my word for it: I love summer, the hike was extremely pleasant and the image I never took very nice. Bummer about the photo, but glad it was a good hike. When I pull my card to transfer images, I leave the card door open until I put it back in. Been a time or two that I picked up the camera and the open door was all that kept me from doing the same thing. I do the same when the battery is out of the camera for charging. |

Fauxtoto , sorry to hear about your misadventure. If it is any consolation, the same has happened to me -- "No card in camera". Summer is still "young". Opportunities for you to enjoy it with your wife while at the same time keeping this challenge in mind are plenty. Go for it!
