And a lot of gone. :-) Since returning from Watercolor and having the picture file fiasco, we've been in a computer confused state. My dear brother Robert was able to recover a good number of the lost pictures, although I don't know exactly how many. Because as I was going thru the almost 7 gigs of picture files, the computer started blipping on me again. We realized that we were likely getting to close to a hard drive crash, or at least some serious problems. SO, first, I'm not sure how many pictures were recovered and how many were corrupted beyond saving. I'll find out as soon as I have time to get thru all of them. Second, we went ahead and bit the bullet and got a new laptop for me so as not to deal with what we suspected was coming. We visited the Apple store on Friday, and I am now figuring out my new Macbook. I had an iBook years ago, but it was long enough ago that I'm still trying to remember how to do some things. Well, still trying to remember how to do a LOT of things.
Anyway, we had some pictures on the "purse camera" (i.e. the small Canon digital camera) that weren't on the other laptop when it chewed up the other pictures. I thought I'd share a couple.
I love this one of my and Poodle's feet. First, we had on matching toenail polish. :-) Second, the water is above her knees... that's how clear this water is! Incredible.
This idea was totally stolen - big, floppy beach hat tip to Kristen Kern for this. When in a cool place (like a beautiful beach), take a picture over your feet. Then, you can do neato things like make it your desktop on your computer so you can "go back" to that place as often as you want.
I love this idea - I love being around creative people who think of things like this. Thanks Kristen!
Oh, and the very first picture was taken on Saturday while we were piddling on the tennis courts. And being buzzed by butterflies. Seriously. Disney movie. The place is ridiculously gorgeous.
So, I'll have more pictures up later on as I work out the corrupted vs. usable pictures from Robert's recovery of the old hard drive. But, I now have a computer that will write CD/DVD's, so we won't be doing a whole lot of photo storage on the hard drive any more. I don't need the heartburn. :-)

Congrats on the Macbook. I hate the circumstances that warranted the change, but at least you will be in an enlightened world moving forward.
And, if no one has mentioned this yet, tell jmk to get you an external hard drive and set yourself up a Time Machine.
Done and done. It happily backs itself up now on a regular basis. I must say, this little white computer is a cool thing.
