seeing me

After a few months of a break from SPC, I am going to join the fun again. I was weary of a theme one month so I took a little holiday... now it's time to get back in the game and sharpen my skills. Nothing like a self portrait to challenge a photographer's skill, it's not nearly as easy as some make it look. It's possible that if I purchased a remote, I might end up in focus sometime. LOL, such a brilliant idea, but something I will most likely shirk still for quite a long time. Maybe Christmas.... maybe. I have boots on the brain.

So, the theme for October is mirrors. Genius! Mirrors are about the only way I can get a picture of myself, so this works very nicely for me. I shot this picture Saturday, before I knew about the new theme. Lucky break because I didn't have any other good reason to share this picture, but I really like it, so now it has "purpose." *grin*

Easily you can see me in Adonis' sunglasses, but if you really try, you can also see Masyn, Evelyn, and my fabulous niece Taylor. 5 people in one extreme close up, I'm very pleased! It takes little to make me giddy, I'm crazy over the simple pleasures of life!

After many people requesting that I stop deleting songs (because they haven't had a chance to listen by the time I delete....oops) I am now going to add new songs to the top of the playlist, so you may skip to something else that is featured on a different post.

Today's music musing is "Mirror Mirror" by Whiskeytown. Perhaps a little too cliche, but still a fun song for this post.
