July 4th and a BIG UH OH!!

As we all know you never ever leave home with out your camera's batteries, Right? You always have well charged batteries and at least 2...I have learned this lesson!! And not to long ago either!!
Well there is another lesson we should all know....NEVER ~ EVER leave home with out your memory card!! Your camera doesn't work to well without it!! Yes Ladies and Gents I left home with out my Memory card, ugh!! Didn't know it until we got to the Texas Aquarium and I grabbed my camera ready to go have fun and take PHOTOS, NOT!! The door was open for the memory card and I was what, why is this open. Peeked in and said *&^%$#! I looked at Fred and said your not going to believe this, but I have no memory card, UGH!! I was totally disgusted with myself!! I took a deep breath and put the camera back in the bag! I then realized I had brought Michael's little click and shoot HP camera, Yea...It wasn't the Rebel but at least I could try for a few photos...
So the aquarium photos were taken with the HP camera and when I look at them tomorrow I'll see which ones are good enough to share!! Oh and of course I didn't take extra batteries for Michael's camera and it died half way through the aquarium...it just wasn't my day to be around cameras, LOL...
Thank goodness for a GREAT Hubby who took me to Walmart after the Aquarium to purchase another memory card! YEA!! I surely didn't want to miss the evening firework display, not after reading and studying on how to take GREAT fireworks exposures all week!!
I've got some great photos from our evening adventures and since it is 1am and I am very, very tired...I will post those tomorrow!! But below I have left a few teaser photos, lol...I can't have a blog without a photo now can I?

One of many sunset photos and just absolutely gorgeous....I did not touch this up, what you see is what you get and the last sunset photo I took this evening and I LOVE IT!! If you click on it you can see a larger view of it too!! The colors were just awesome, but that is my opinion too!

Okay I just nabbed one firework exposure...Not one of the better ones but this is a 4th of July post and I needed at least one photo of the fireworks...I have quiet a few really nice ones and I will post those tomorrow!!

Thank y'all for stopping in and I hope everyone had a Beautiful 4th of July!! We did have fun and really enjoyed ourselves!!

I don't believe it! You are kidding me. Oh Wen....I am sssooo sorry. You were so excited about this day. I am sure you secured some good photos...but I am also sure like me...you are so angry at yourself. These two photos look incredible...sleep well and I look forward to seeing more in the coming days. I am happy that your day ended on a happy note and you all enjoyed yourselves so much.

you know.. i think every person with a decent camera was out last night (including me) trying to get decent firework shots. Did I think to read up on the proper settings? Uh NOOOOOOOOO! I could SMACK myself! This photo is not one of your better ones? It blows ALL of mine away! This is GREAT!

So sorry to hear you didn't have your memory card. That's happened to me LOTS!!!! I really should go buy another...
