• Lost Pictures


    You might have heard, if you’ve been following my Facebook or blog for any time at all, I went on a trip to England and France early in the month.

    We had a great time, all except for two things.

    1. I got a cold (grrr!)

    2. My camera broke midway through the trip. (grrr, yet again!)

    I dropped my camera right outside this store...broken!

    Luckily, my sister had a camera that was compatible with my stuff, so I got to use hers the rest of the trip.

    Funny thing is, when I got back to America and checked into getting my camera fixed…it was cheaper to buy a new one.

    So, this past weekend I went out and got a new camera.

    You know what was fun about that? Well–besides getting a new camera?

    It was the “lost pictures” of the trip I found.

    I inserted the memory card of my broken camera into the new one and viola, pictures I’d taken before it broke!

    They brought a smile to my face. Especially this one:

    Paris Rose.

    Me and my sweet hubby were at the Eiffel Tower and a guy handing out roses approached.My sweet hubby bought me a rose! I’m not much of a flower person, you can even ask him, but I tell ya, this one meant a ton to me.

    We’re in Paris. We’re eating ice cream, looking up at the Eiffel Tower, and he gets me a rose. Probably the most expensive single rose we’ve ever bought, but the memory will be forever engrained in my mind.

    So romantic.

    I had to take a picture, which now that I see it, looks horribly un-romantic with the phone and paper and pen around it.

    Not to mention the Coca-Light bottle it’s in.

    But still.

    These next pictures were fun too:

    Had to take a picture of GUCCI....
    We spent a day strolling the Champs Elysees, people watching and sitting on sidewalk cafes.

    Beautiful picture of the Arc de Triumph

    Sure was fun to see these pictures after the fact like this.

    But, Oh, I did have to take a picture on the new camera.

    Check it out:

    My dog, Maddux, was the first picture on my new camera. He makes a great model, huh?

    So now I’m ready to go on another adventure with my new camera. I never know when a chance to make a memory might creep up on me, and I always like to have my camera handy so I can document it.
