Well, my new camera arrived but they forgot to ship the memory card! But I emailed Amazon and it should be here tomorrow so that's nice of them. But I took the camera out today thinking that cameras have some internal memory and I should be able to get a few shots, right? NO! I was wrong! And it wouldn't be such a big deal if it was just the normal skippers I was taking pictures of. But I saw a Tiger Swallowtail today - no joking! I was like. "It's November - what are you doing here?" And now I don't have any pictures. Super bummed. I also released a Cloudless Sulphur that came out yesterday evening. It flew off so there were no pictures of that. I mean, it just zoomed off for the trees like it was on fire. It was about to rain though, and then it did. And our power went out for about half an hour. It's supposed to cool down a lot for us so I guess I'll have time to wait on that memory card and learn how to use the camera. I already had to change the zoom setting. Also, I have to figure out how to make it stop beeping when it focuses. I think I might be scaring the butterflies.
