Sorta Selfie Saturday

OK, so I saw this great sticker on a fellow bloggers post promoting Selfie Saturday!! Cool, I like photos, I like challenges... I like ME... easy peasy, right!  Two hundred and ten photos later I'm thinking maybe this wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. I am a self-portrait newbie... just off the bus... still drinkin' from a bottle and suckin' on my pacifier... neeeewwwwbie.

After the first twenty photos of looking like a dork...

I thought I'd mix it up by looking disturbed...

Finally, I gave up and just got silly.

Luckily, George showed up and took a little pressure off of me, just being me.

And what have we learned from this little experiment? I will never be a super-model? What?! No. I can dream. NEVER jump in to the middle of a portrait challenge when you're an idiot? Well, maybe. I was thinking it has taught me to save the joy of self-portraits for that new camera with a tripod and remote... Yeah.. that's it. Let's chalk this one up as ONE MORE reason to buy a D90. Uh-huh.

If you would like to visit the inspiration for this masterpiece...

OMGOMGOMGOMG!! It's SPRING!!!

Yes, I know, it isn't officially spring until tomorrow. Stop bringing me down you haters. It's just that I was raking up all the thousands of leaves that somehow were missed in the fall, and peeking out from under the damp, rotting piles were these...

and these...

and this...

I don't even know what THIS is. I was in such a frenzy of bulb distribution last fall that I can't remember which ones I planted, or where I planted them. Should make for edge of your seat excitement in the next few weeks. Heeeeeeeheehee!!!! Shut up, I am not a loser.

Had to share this... Yesterday I discovered my new favorite musician. Check her out HERE. Thank you Nie Nie!
