I'm still behind in posting and commenting. I actually shot a couple dozen photos today on my afternoon walk, uploaded them and somehow, managed to delete them all when I exported them from my camera. Tried without success to retrieve them so instead I've posted a shot of a peach rose from my garden that I took about two weeks ago. This is a happy color and most of the shots I took earlier today were of Spring flowers near the beach boardwalk. Things don't always go as planned so you just make do.
Good thing you have some beautiful backups! How frustrating for you, though...I've been taking photos, but barely able to visit the site and am missing it. This photo is really lovely -- the lighting is so smooth it brings out the deep reds. Nice contrast with the green leaves.
Such a stunning rose and a beautiful capture. So sorry about your lost photos. It is totally maddening. (I've got a few years' worth locked up on a dead computer that I can't access.)
Ugh - sorry about the delete - I have done that before. Disheartening!
