Week 1 - Focusing on Life~ 52 photos 1 photo a week

I joined Sally Russick's (The Studio Sublime) blog challenge 52 photos  1 photo a week...

Sally sends out hints  then we have 5 days to take or find the picture and post it

Week 1 - Photo Prompt - Self Portrait
This picture is totally uncropped!  Standing on the deck freezing my butt off New Years Day!

This one has all of my messy living and dining rooms cropped out of it...& I took the liberty of aging the photo...  I took this with my camera attached to my new toy, my quik pod !

  22. Those are both lovely pictures of a lovely lady. Your view is to die for, but I'm not sure I could handle that kind of cold even with the fabulous view.
    Well done on the challenge!
