Lo and Behold! My cell phone camera has a 10 second timer! Things will never be the same here! Fortunately I have the weekend to practice and figure out a way to position and steady my phone. Meanwhile, I am posting
my very first attempt.
Obviously, I didn't dress for the occasion. I surprised mySELF!
Yes, the robe is thrifted (and well-worn)!
I've had it for years and am reluctant to replace it.
I took this picture of one of the reading corners in our house to place on the "books" page of
my main blog. Thought I'd show it here. The chair and pillows were purchased at garage sales or thrift stores, as were a few of the items on the bookshelf.
Thanks to all of you who made suggestions re. my photography! I'm eager to see how I can improve the pictures on this blog. I'm pretty proud about the ones I take of our grandchildren, etc. You can get a view of them on my "family" blog listed in the sidebar of THIS one... If I want "hardcopy" of any of them, I download them and either print them off on our home printer or have them done at Walgreens or Meijers.
We do have an inexpensive digital camera but I never seem to have it with me when I need it - AND the batteries seem to always need charging. The phone is a workable option for me. I DO need to be more intentional and remember to change the settings (which I forgot to do when I went inside for the book/chair photo).
