The Sunday Stills challenge this week is self portraits. I am allergic to having my picture taken, really, really, really hate it, so you won't see many photos of me around. I almost blew off this assignment or cooked up some clever way around it...like maybe a tastefully decorated paper bag. However, early one morning, I looked in the mirror and thought...well, this is about as good as it is going to get. So here it is...moi
Heck of a shot! You are just pretty dern talented at whatever takes your attention. Even I can see your photos are more than just pictures.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. This was a hard one for me too.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely photo! You are very clever.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice put a face to Northview Diary :)
Have a nice sunday ~
Nice, looks like you are peering around the corner.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I'm always curious what my friends in blogger land look like. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, nice picture for the composition and the model and the viewers. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo...I think all of us felt the same about the challenge this week..and about having our picture taken in general! :)
ReplyDeleteCute; you look so shy!
ReplyDeleteGood job! Glad to SEE you!
ReplyDeleteNice! Glad you ditched the bag idea!
ReplyDeleteWhy wouldn't you want to show off a lovely face like that? Ask your family, I bet they agree with me!
ReplyDeleteI hate having my picture taken too. My blog pic is an oldie. Your pic turned out very well and it's nice to have a picture to go with your writing.
ReplyDeleteI have that same allergy, although it looks like you're cured!
ReplyDeleteGreat pic!
That's an awesome picture. I haven't done mine yet but that paper bag idea............is GREAT! I think it's a heck of an idea for me:)
ReplyDeleteOMG, this is horrible...
ReplyDeletethat we don't see more of you more often! LOL. Very creative pic!
Very Nice! This wasn't my favorite challenge either.
ReplyDeleteCrikey!! Here we 'ave an illusive Mommy Bird. Rarely seen. Even more rarely photographed. Yer very lucky chaps.
ReplyDeleteI came a peeking via Prairie Runner...

You ladies are too brave for me, I'd have done the bag thing...would have fit me pretty good!
BTW..I love how your bath is decorated!

Wow! I am so glad you visited! It was interesting to read your post about Mac and reminded me so much of Mike in his early days of not being able to see too well and having old dog vestibular disease. I hope Mac comes along as well as Mike has
Teri, I feel the same way about you! Thank you
Regular Guy, kind words indeed, I thank you
I love coming here! And to see your face and the face of your house, you are both beatiful!

Awwww, Mommy, you are so sweet....thank you!
ReplyDeleteYay!! I finally know what you look like-and you look mighty fine at that! Very neat shot-using the mirror!
ReplyDeleteTipper, thank you. It was hard for me to do it, but I am not sorry now.
ReplyDeleteAwwww . . . you're lovely. Aren't we funny the way we're so self-critical? It's so nice to be able to picture you along with your account of Northview.
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy, it was hard, I'll tell you. I am not used to being an old lady yet, and if I avoid mirrors and cameras I can pretend I'm not. lol
