Camera settings

I took my Canon G2 digital
camera out the other day,
set it on close-up,
and snapped a lot of
pictures of spring flowers
like daffodils
and tulips.

Was so intent on looking
through the view finder,
neglecting to check the
image in the view screen,
that I failed to notice that
I had accidentally
clicked into Manual
mode when I switched the
camera on.

Lost all the daffodil pics
by this negligence. The
Manual settings were
not right for the daylight
close-ups I was making.

Well, a typical goof, for me.
But perhaps the memory
of it will help me to avoid
making that mistake
any more this year.
