Sunday Stills...moi


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

Thank you, nice picture for the composition and the model and the viewers. Very nice.

Great photo...I think all of us felt the same about the challenge this week..and about having our picture taken in general! :)

Cute; you look so shy!

The Wife said...

Good job! Glad to SEE you!

R.Powers said...

Nice! Glad you ditched the bag idea!

Jinglebob said...

Why wouldn't you want to show off a lovely face like that? Ask your family, I bet they agree with me!

Charley "Apple" Grabowski said...

I 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.

Great job with your photo!
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!

Your house is amazing, whoever built it was an artist!

You did a great job of capturing your self. Thanks for letting all of us see and meet you!

How nice to see your lovely face.
You are truly beautiful in every sense. I love you my talented daughter. Mom

threecollie said...

Awwww, Mommy, you are so sweet....thank you!

Yay!! I finally know what you look like-and you look mighty fine at that! Very neat shot-using the mirror!

threecollie said...

Tipper, thank you. It was hard for me to do it, but I am not sorry now.

Cathy said...

Awwww . . . 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.

threecollie said...

Hi 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
