Birthday Portrait

My birthday self portrait

Since I knew I'd be alone most of the day on my birthday I decided to pamper myself. This is the best I've felt about myself in a long time.

I've been posting a daily self portrait on a Facebook group I made, but since a lot of people aren't on Facebook I'll still post photos of me here from time to time.

The last SCA event I went to. My hair stayed up like this for about five minutes.

Trying Something Different

High Desert Self Portrait

Here I am at my new home in the high desert. It snowed last night. I took this this morning. The air is so chilly and the puddles have ice in them still. So I gave up on drying clothes on the line and headed to the laundromat where it was nice and warm. I managed to forget my purse but I called home and got my library card number so I could use the library's computer. My computer at home is stuck with a dial-up connection until Verizon adds more DSL ports. So I'm behind on all my blogging. I can only blog at the library because it takes about an hour to make a blog post from home, if it works at all.

Yesterday it rained, hailed, then snowed.

The snow on the local hills behind my house.

Sunhat and Glasses

As I age, it's harder and harder to keep taking self portraits. I become obsessed with every new spot on my face, every new wrinkle, jowls, sagging, and my lips getting thinner and thinner.  Still, I hope I have some redeeming qualities. I can find beauty looking at older faces. I just wish I could find it in my own.

Trip to SLO

I tried to remember to take daily self portraits when I was visiting my daughter's art gallery in San Luis Obispo called SLO Space.  Since that was already a few days ago, I'll just put them all in one post.
