This week our theme was based on a self-portrait.
Last year I set myself a personal challenge to post a self portrait photo weekly.......I got as far as number 21 which, I guess, wasn't too bad considering I hate having my photo taken.
This morning, I snapped the pic below just before I left to go with Michelle for her first antenatal appointment. All is going really well on that score and Michelle is now officially 15 weeks preggers! Note my little furry companion lying at my feet....he is never far from my side.
I liked how the Buddha made a subtle appearance in the background,
bathed in light
I'm looking forward to seeing the self-portraits from our other photo group members.
~ Love, light and peace ~
really nice effects with the Buddha in the background :) really great photos
ReplyDeleteI love the painting above your bed too!
ReplyDeleteI always love picture with light streaming from behind. It impresses me as something ethereal -- simply beautiful.
ReplyDelete*I love the boots, Serena :)
Serena, you should never hate having your picture taken when you look so lovely. They're all beautiful but I especially like the one with the hint of Buddha in the background.
ReplyDeleteYou look like a doll, Serena! Wanna trdae bodies??? LOLOL!
ReplyDelete.. and always looking so ladylike too..... how unlike old tomboy me! ....
ReplyDeletecan't remember the last time I actually wore a skirt or dress... come to think of it...I don't own one. I hate shopping...I'm too lazy to try on all sorts of stuff... sometimes when I go visit my sister, we shop... maybe this time I'll look at at something more ladylike.... gee what a concept..... I'll get her to help me dress....she always looks like a million bucks when she goes out... even if she looks like me at home.... of course, one would have to actually go out to need to dress up and I hate going out too!! What's wrong with me? I prefer golfing or gardening.... neither of which call for "dressing... and, in winter I never get out of my 'jammies....to make bears or dolls.....
Great pix Serena. I like your boots and your little furry pal. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, this is what a grandmother-to-be should look like!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the serenity I feel from your photos! You are glowing yet seem so peaceful. Wonderful :) xoxo

ReplyDeleteYou are lovely. Let your Buddha nature shine, that's what the second photo says to me. :)
ReplyDeleteI hate to take my own photo, as well. Good for you for having the guts to do it!
Hi Serena!
ReplyDeleteyou look terrific! and I think this is a wonderful thing to do!
I've been on the shy end of the camera...that means behind it taking the pictures all my life....but up until only recently, I'm trying to embrace my image rather than shreak in fear of it! lol

You are indeed very beautiful. It can be hard to get over discomforts like that. Good for you for following through on your promise to yourself.
