Once again yesterday it was time to back my pictures up. Not to the cloud, because that happens automatically, but also to my laptop. Amazingly, I have survived taking pictures with just my phone since our first digital camera died many years ago. We talk about getting a new camera, but 12,500 + pictures later, I am still using my phone.
The upside to using my phone is that all my pics are super accessible. I can share them at will – or save them to the blog folder! The down-side is that I get lazy. It’s so convenient, and they get backed up to the cloud, so I let it go far too long between backing up to our hard drives. Today was the day.
As with many procrastinated things, there was not an easy way. I had too many photos to simply plug in my phone and download. A workaround was in order, so I set about finally trying to figure out how to upload from the cloud. Many tries and two app downloads later, I learned that a sync was my best option. Hours later, the sync is now done. Next weekend I’ll tackle the download to the external hard drive.
Today’s pics were an unexpected catch. I was getting ready to leave for work and noticed that one of the white squirrels was on the front feeder. That little acrobat! And then I looked and saw the other white squirrel was on the back feeder! It’s been around a week since we saw them together.
Yesterday morning I was up at 5am. My husband told me it was 51° and I couldn’t resist. I had to check it out, that glorious pre-fall feel, before the day warms up. This morning when my alarm went off at 6:30, I didn’t dally. It is 55° and gorgeous out in the garden. Warm enough to be comfortable, and take it all in, but oh so crisp. There is nothing like a Minnesota morning as we are on the cusp of fall.
