Self Portrait

Pictures of me, taken by myself. I tend to go with the official (365 Days) definition of a self portrait: “A self portrait is a photo of yourself taken by you” … “The main thing is that you are both the photographer and the subject.”

New tent (365:70) – Today we set up our latest tent in the backyard.

Doing the dishes (365:065) – A fairly typical Sunday. Up at Seven, in church by half eight, and back out around eleven forty or so. We stopped to do some grocery shopping on the way home, and by one pm it was Sunday nap time (and yes that is frequently an euphemism). I didn’t surface until gone five, it was a tiring week.

I’ve found another wall (365:062) — It’s amazing how quickly I forget what we did on any given day.

At the end of the day (365:061) — Today was a quiet day. Which is another way of saying I can’t really remember what we did. I spent the day in general pottering around, recovering, and processing pictures from yesterday’s hike. We went to Youth Group and KfC in the evening.
