(I just added the extra photo with the boat because Art said this was his favorite. I had chosen the more orange photo.)
This was taken on October 12th when we were in Miyajima, Japan. While I was getting ready in the hotel, Art went outside to see a spectacular sunrise. He must have taken nearly a hundred shots as the sky showed so many different hues of her early morning personality.
Unfortunately, that night I thought I had uploaded all his shots BUT something went terribly wrong. He erased his photo card thinking my uploading had been successful. When we discovered that I had somehow NOT saved his photos I could have crawled under the bed and stayed there. After 35 years of marriage he managed to forgive me. My brother was the live guardian angel who traveled with us. He knew of a program that would recover photos even after they had been deleted.
I have one brother and he is an angel.
I have one husband and he is an angel, too.
This is one of the photos that was recovered from the photo card.
Phew!

I'm posting this early just because I remembered that I hadn't done Sky Watch in quite a few weeks. It's still 23 hours until we link up with the Sky Watch team.
Oh, how dreadful you must have felt, even though it probably wasn't your fault. Thank goodness for people who understand computers better than we do.
ReplyDeleteYour text makes me smiling... You are also a "nice" angel, because this photo is very beautiful...
ReplyDeleteAre You always under the bed ???
This is an incredible photo, what wonderful colors!! I love the sun's reflections rippling on the water below... WOW... there's just so many great aspects about this photo... I'd be here all day writing about it... I'm glad you were able to retrieve the photos...
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I haven't been around much ... I have been ill on and off for over a month. I have a lot to catch up on!

What a wonderful photo. How lucky to have caught such a beautiful moment and to share with all. And thank goodness for your "angel".
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the most beautiful sunrise pictures I have ever seen. I am so happy that you saved it! I would love to know how to do that.
ReplyDeletethat is the worst feeling of all, when you find out your pictures are deleted.
ReplyDeletethis is an awesome shot.
you're lucky to have those angels by your side.
I'll have to ask my brother how he got the program. I know it was a Lexar card and that it was Lexar that offered the program to recover the deleted files. It recovered about 75% of the card. Once you write over your card again, the photos you deleted are gone for good, I think.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful photo. I'm glad you were able to retiieve it.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to skywatch. I have nothing yet. Maybe I'll come up with something by tomorrow.
Kay, what an absolutely beautiful picture. You should be proud of your photograpic sense!
ReplyDeleteWow, who knew that there was a program like that? Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteAloha Kay - I just saw your comment on my blog. I agree - it's nice to know there is another kamaaina SkyWatcher. ;-}
ReplyDeleteSo sorry that some of those sunrise photos were lost. Looks like it was a spectacular one.
How lucky can you be. That is just stunning. Such rich colour.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great photo. I did that once, but only to one photo; I was quickly deleting photos directly on my camera, because I had taken so many, and I deleted my favorite. I didn't feel quite as bad as you (it was only one), but I can relate to the yuck.
ReplyDeleteKay, hello, I appreciate your visit. The sunrise is spectacular, such rich colours.
ReplyDeleteGood to have an angelic brother who knows how to recover photos.
Things happen sometimes, you are not alone! Best wishes T.
Your photo is just incredible! My favorite color is orange, and this is just saturated with the color.
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking capture!

I love this photo, Kay. It is absolutely beautiful! Reminds me of the times Daddy would wake us up early on Sunday mornings to take a short hike to a familiar hill to watch the sun rise. I still (to this day) marvel at a sunrise, that is when I can have my sleepy self up early enough.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful SWF image, Kay! "Louis" showed it to Mme la Vache who lived in Japan for 15 years. She recently returned from a trip to Japan and China.
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to recover the photos as this one is spectacular.cheers.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Kay, I'd have cried if I had lost this shot. And having lost about 500 photos in a PC crash whilst you were away, I understand!
ReplyDeleteBTW enjoyed the tour of Japan hugely and expect many more fab piccies
well i am so glad that the brother Angel was able to retrieve the photos, i had no idea you could do that. It was a good save too.
ReplyDeleteWonderful capture of the red sky :)
ReplyDeleteHappy SkyWatch!!
what an amazing sky on fire.
ReplyDeletethank you for your visit and kind comment
Breathtaking gorgeous picture with wonderful colours!
ReplyDeleteFabulous pictures and a great save by your brother. The man's a genius.
ReplyDeleteyour pics are stunning and the commentary superb! great narration!
ReplyDeleteColorful sky and its cool. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. Yes a long marriage does have it's advantages.
ReplyDeleteinteresting story! I know how it felt to have shots after hours or even days of working just gone that way, great that they had been recovered.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I discovered your blog. These memes are wonderful for that. Your photos are stunning, just gorgeous. I am so happy for you that your brother managed to recover your photos. My heart went out to you when I read this story as I can just imagine how you felt, I would have too. Have a great weekend and thank you very much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots. Technology is hard sometimes.Sorry for lost shots.
ReplyDeleteWith or without a boat, that is quite a scene...
ReplyDeleteWow-the second photo you added is absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteThe orange sky is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos, the colour is fabulous. You know we all make mistakes like that from time to time. Guess we have to remember that it is because these photography moments are fleeting is what makes them special and long to capture all the beauty of the second forever.
ReplyDeleteLove your photos, and your daily happenings,too. How are things going with your daughter and her family back in Illinois in the family house?
ReplyDeleteKay, haven't seen you in a while... didn't you just get to Hawaii over the summer and you're already traveling to Japan?! Lucky you! Beautiful shots! I love both, so glad that you guys were able to recover the pics!
ReplyDeleteA spectacular view indeed. Would love to have seen it myself. Happy SWF!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos!!! These are stunning. I some how deleted pictures once and there was no one to recover them for me and I was so mad and I still get mad thinking about it so I know what you mean about wanting to hide under the bed.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got your photos back. Stunning sunrise!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic!
ReplyDeleteOh dear..that does happen. I hope that all of the photos can be recovered Kay..Beautiful SWP...
ReplyDeleteI can understand the anguish when you thought these had been lost. Both photos are very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are so incredibly beautiful! I wanted to thank you for stopping by my blog and I feel as though I know you, too.

ReplyDeleteThis is such fun! How great to discover another friend! Do you have an email address? Mine is personal one is sylviak04@msn.com, I do want to stay in touch and maybe one day you and your husband will get to the Seattle area in your travels! Wouldn't that be fun!
ReplyDeleteHope you'll join my "readers/followers - hope you don't mind, I joined yours.
ReplyDeleteWow, look at all these comments. And justifiably so. Lovely photo.
ReplyDeleteI like your saying "morning personality" of the sky. :D
Don't be shy, add yourself to that list of angels.
Great new sidebar thingy. Maybe I should change my template to make room for one... [Fear and trembling...]
Glad the photos were recovered, and well worth the trouble. Both these images are incredibly beautiful! Thank you for sharing such beauty.
