This one was an easy one --

Since it happened! (Well, kind of...)

My first time at a wild fox den! I was SOOOOO excited! How incredible! What a treat to see.

And then the babies start playing!! And pouncing!!

I did have a card in the camera. I've changed the setting so I can't shoot without a card.

Yup -- card! Nope -- no space on card!

Argh!! Pouncing fox kits, and I'm desparately trying to clear out a card. I couldn't just format it, because I didn't know what I had on the card. It could have been work, it could have been the winning national geographic cover shot.

At least the sony can delete by date. But it still takes quite a while to delete part of a card.

I'm almost in tears at this point. I finally got some space, took more photos, ran out of space again. Never again will I go out without cleaning off a card!

well, until a couple of days later. ;)

Thanks for the comments -- I'm glad you could empathize!
