A New Profile Picture of Me

I read Sandi's (Chatty Crone) post today and she asked why do some people not have pictures of themselves on their profiles?   I didn't have one because I am the one that is usually taking the pictures.   I went back into my photo files to see if I could find one and I did.   My H and I went to Alaska last year to fish for salmon and halibut.   H some how got a hold of the camera and took a picture of me.   So Sandi, I have changed my picture.  It is of me sitting in a fishing boat waiting for our turn to fish in the honey hole as the guide called it, with no make up or combed hair.   It is the natural me.   I have accepted me for who I am, flaws and all.  I look just like my mother and I think she is gorgeous. 

No makeup and no hair combed.  Roughing it.

  2. You look like me, and since I'm gorgeous, I KNOW you are!

    Why can't I do that? Post a picture of myself? I always hide behind the mask of Ethel Mertz, from I Love Lucy.

    I have a post ready to go, but the one after that, I resolve to post a picture of myself. It may be when I was much younger, but that's half way there, right?

  3. I think it's a great picture! I too don't have any pictures of myself because I am the one to takes all of the pictures. It all started way back when I was a kid too! Not many pictures of me from way back then also! It's rough being the photographer! lol I have taken a few of me myself just to have a picture for my kids! lol

  4. I think your picture is great. I like to have a visual of the person who wrote it when I am reading a post. I just changed my picture because the old one was a couple of years old. My new on looks like a mug shot. I'll have to see if I can do better.
