Today after work I had to run some errands.... but the running became a walk on the beach near the mouth of the Hood River when I saw all this! Rio and I got wet and cool.... darn it is hot here these last 3 days! I have not had the chance to really work much on my photos from the journey to Utah... too much work in the way, and too hot... so every night after work I had to find water. Last night it was the Trout Lake Swamp, and I have fun photos from there as well. I have a new problem! WAYYYY too many photos, my computer is too full, and I really need to get a nice big powerful back up external hard drive ( as well as a standalone portable hard drive like the Nexto brand makes... ALL my SD cards are full, I can't download them... going thru all the saved photos to eliminate culls and copy the files onto CD is so time consuming. any specific suggestions I can look into?
