Had to go with Plan A (right at dawn on the Arkansas River - yes, it was all that blue) hoping for a half-way decent sunrise. Obviously, that didn't happen. Plan B was to stop on the way to Ft. Smith and the Nature Center. Got some decent bird shots - got to the motel, downloaded them, saved them (I thought) and then formatted the card :( They hadn't saved. Live and learn. Not comfortable with the laptop. Better today than tomorrow.
Beautiful shot- so sorry to hear about the photo mishap! I never delete the photos off my camera card- to me it's like the film. I just buy a new card. I guess there's a benefit to that!
