Before the Sun Disappears

"Perfect timing" is the wrong phrase.  But there I was, waiting and waiting for the Sun to show all the while watching the rain showers creeping closer and closer on the radar.  I put my camera bag in the car because I knew it would rain any second and was standing there with a camera, tripod and umbrella.  Poof!  There it is.  Press the shutter and nothing happens.  Dead battery. 

Yes, I can change the battery out before the Sun disappears.
