I find it hard to “act naturally” when staring down the lens of a camera… or, in my case, aad cellphone mounted on a tripod.

It’s has taken a bit of getting used to, mounting my phone on a $20 tripod, and then using the Bluetooth “clicker” to snap the photo.   And in order to get my entire body in for a standing pose, the camera is so far away…. I can’t see what I am shooting!

So basically… I just snap a lot!  Between 30 – 50 will get me a few good ones… or at least enough for my post.

And it’s not that I am exceedingly vain, or have super high standards.  Heck, I have photos that I consider in the humbling category… but I post them anyway. Why??

Because it’s real.  That is pretty much how I look. And at 62 years old… I just don’t think I have to keep up my supermodel image anymore.  (Snicker)

So here’s to debunking the perfection myth. And here’s to the tired eyes, silver strands, poochy bellies, and all the lines on our faces, and scars on our bodies that show where we’ve been, and what we’ve survived.

For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool&  —  Same dress.  100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.

What’s in store today:

After visiting more with Number 1, and practicing my Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging, I took off for the coast.  There was a storm front coming in, threatening to drop some snow in Portland, Oregon, and the SW Washington coast.  Indeed, it got into the 30s and did snow, so I am glad that I got an early start, and off the road.

I’ll be posting a follow-up video on Saturday for my  Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging page.  Should be interesting to see how much i have improved in a week.  I have practiced EVERY day!  Yee Haw!

If you  would like to learn more about Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging ,And about the great online program I found with a FABULOUS teacher, Click  HERE.  

Today, I  did something a little different.  I took the photos from the last 23 days, and used the phone  “Highlights” feature to make a little 1 minute movie!

So get out there and ACT NATURALLY!
