First Selfie

So there we were taking an April woodsy walk thru gorgeous Forestville State Park. I had my two girls with me, Mrs. T. and Miss Lily.  We were checking out  woodland wildflowers along some cliffs and a trout stream in southeastern Minnesota.

















It was somewhere around this point that I decided to try the latest photographic rage inspired no doubt by millions of Facebook devotes........ a selfie. Yes, hold the camera out, find the shutter and.... Good Grief, your supposed to look at the camera when you push the button dummy. Modern technology I don't know. :)

  1. But at least you can count yourself among those who have taken a selfie!
    :)
    What a beautiful walk you and Ms. T and Lily had. It looks very peaceful.
    Sending you both smiles from South Georgia.
    (It's already in the 90's here. Sweltering....and summer hasn't even begun.)
    Smiles,

  4. I love your outings with your two best gals. As for selfies, well..........
    Of course, I've never tried it so who am I to judge?

  7. Great first selfie shot! (You don't have to look at the camera, despite what you may be advised.) It's all abut the "art" shot.

  9. I don't know...I rather like the profile. Putting the Troutbirder original stamp on the old tired selfie.

  10. Ha ha, well it is a superior shot of your ear. Maybe you will start a trend.
    That looked like a great path to walk for you and the ladies.

  13. Gosh I never thought of looking away from the camera.... hmm that could go a long way to making me like selfies.

  14. I LIKE your new-style selfie! I tried to do a selfie with the cat and it was a disaster. I think the world might be better off without so many shots of ourselves. Well..of me, anyway.

  16. HA HA ---I think I'd make a better selfie if I didn't look at the camera.... I truly don't do 'selfies' since there are so many many wrinkles and lines when the camera is THAT close.... Getting OLD is for the BIRDS....

    Great set of photos.
    Hugs,
    Betsy

  18. Another thing you can cross off the bucket list!

  19. Not bad at all for your first selfie! I often cut off significant parts of my face trying to get the background in.

  20. Something poetic about a selfie where you are looking off to the horizon.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Ha! I love that you are looking at nature rather than yourself.

  22. Funny. Nice shot of your head. That had to take some doing!
