Today is Rednesday over at, It's A Very Cherry World, stop by and visit with all of our red lovers by clicking here...I am here to tell you I'm not a happy camper. Last week you all remember me telling you I was having problems with a virus on my computer...well, I was told to down load all my pictures to a disk in case I had to wipe my computer out and reformat it. OK, to make a long story short all my pictures didn't load to the disk like I thought it had and I deleted them from my computer..only to find they were gone for good. I wanted to just cry. Lucky I had up loaded most of my good family pictures to my photo albums on Face Book and to my blog, where I found them on Picasa and saved them to my files AGAIN... sadly alot of snap shots that I took didn't get loaded to either and are gone...having said this, I will warn you do not take anything for granted make sure everything is saved before deleting ANY files....
I had hundreds of snap shots of birds that are lost for ever.
So these are just a few that were saved or just taken...so for Rednesday I have a collage of Red Birds.
I had a computer crash and I lost all of my kids baby photos!!! it is a bad feeling to know that something awful can happen and we can lose all our precious memories!
ReplyDeleteOh no Molly! I hate to hear that! I have my husband to burn all of my pictures to a cd so I'm safe there unless someone takes my cd's. I try to upload my best pictures to my blog. I take a lot of pictures. Somewhere around 300 a month! lol I can't help it! Hello, my name is Angela and I am an addict! lol Which reminds me, I didn't take a picture today.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you were able to recover some at least! Your pictures of those cardinals are beautiful! I love birds!
Hugs,
Angela
Angela, I usually download my own on CDs, but I'm used to XP and they loaded completely different on Vista you have to drag and drop and it doesn't say when the disk is full. Some how when the files where still on computer when you load cd to play back it shows them all loaded, but when I deleted the file from computer and then put the disk in only 17 files out of 52 showed up. I could have cried...lol..I did cry.
ReplyDeleteI also take tons of pictures each week. Some can never be replaced....
Oh Molly - I am so sorry. I asked Rick when he backs up our computer - are our pictures on it - because you had said last week you had lost some pictures.
ReplyDeleteThat is something that having the old hard copy photos were good for.
I'm sorry. Loved your pictures of the birds though.
Sandie
That does stink! Sorry.
ReplyDeleteThat is terrible. The same thing happened to me!! We saved them but they don't show up on the Cd.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about all you lost. It should serve as a warning to the rest of us who have all our photos and stuff stored on our computers - it could easily happen to us as well!
ReplyDeleteOh dear Molly, I understand the loss...I had all my holiday photo's disappear once...don't even know how and there were some wonderful shots of my dad...the last photos taken before his passing. It still makes me feel sick in the tum when I think about it.
ReplyDeleteI hope the RED birds help cheer your REDnesday as they have mine.
Warmest hugs,
Sandi @ Bearly Sane
I'm so sorry that happened to you. A real nightmare come true. Would you ever consider using an external hard drive? My husband got one for me, and every few weeks I upload all of my picture to it. Someone once told me that my daughter's generation was going to end up with no pictures in their old age, because they're all on the comuter. I believe them now.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures though of the red birds. I would love to get some good shots of the birds at my feeders one day!
Happy REDnesday,
Carol
Oh Molly! I can so relate! just ore Christmas, my hard drive crashed. TOTALLY All my pictures were gone and lost forever. I had the ones from my blog and some in other online sites. But,so many of them I never loaded up to anywhere else. I think I cried for two days!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your picture lost. Great bird mosaic !
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
~Myrna
Oh, Molly, I'm so sorry! But I hope your red birds helped cheer you up - they did me!
ReplyDeletelove, love, love cardinals!! My mated pair has been visiting me again.
ReplyDeleteOh...I am so sorry about the photos. I am going to save mine to a disc now. I don't want to have to cry those same tears... :-( Lvoe your photos of the Redbirds. They are just hands down one of my favorites to watch at the feeders. I love it when a family of them comes and the larger birds will feed the smaller babies as they sit and ruffle their feathers for more!! I also hear they pair off for life. Sweet! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis seems to be happening to so many lately. Nothing is safe on a computer they tell me. I trust this does not happen to me, but it can happen to anyone at anytime. You and Coloradolady should get together as she is going through a bad time of loosing all her family photos last week because of a virus.
ReplyDeleteOh Molly.. So sorry to hear that pictures were lost like this, but glad you could get back some of them at least. I absolutely love the birds, and feeding them!! These pictures of cardinals are very sweet! I miss the birds from my old home, and wish I could have left them a forwarding address!!.. but who knows.. Maybe they'll find their way here someday, along with some new little feathered friends to find what seed or breadcrumbs I have for them! (0; It's possible! Happy Rednesday! ~tina
ReplyDeleteMolly, you have my sympathies! Been there, done that! For what it's worth...I lost 99.9% of my photos. I'm talking years of photos that I was too dang dumb to put onto backup. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteThe collage is adorable. Love those darling cardinals!
Cheers!
Tina
