Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. -- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5
Practice makes perfect:) Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteCHANGES IN THE WIND, we did not know my daughter's husband was taking pictures of our process. It was fun to see these results.
Deleteyou are both absolutely adorable...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your hair~!!!
Happy 2015
SONNY G., I will agree that my daughter is adorable. To think of myself as adorable at 68 years of age is a bit of a stretch but thank you anyway my dear friend. Hugs to you
DeleteYou both are so sweet! :-)
ReplyDeleteJUTTA, thank you for the compliment. I hope to get back to drawing as soon as my arm heals.
DeleteNice work! The two of you are as alike as two peas in a pod. :-)
ReplyDeleteSPARKLING RED, I love your comment but I'm not so sure my daughter would. A lot of folks think we resemble each other.
Deletei could take lessons from you!
ReplyDeleteBRITE MIST, we learned our own lesson by looking at these photographs that my son in law was taking. It was fun to see what we look like trying to make this selfie
DeleteThose are fun shots. Glad you had a good time with your daughter. Happy New Year, Annie.
ReplyDeleteGIGIHAWAII, thank you and it was good to see you had a happy new year too with your grandchildren.
DeleteYou are beautiful every time, too! I haven't quite mastered the selfie either. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, my friend!
LYNN, thank you for your compliment. I find this fad. of making selfies very interesting. You should try it so we can get a look at your pretty face.
DeleteAww, that is really cute of you both. Selfies usually make me happy there is a delete button.
ReplyDeleteARKANSAS PATTI, we definitely hit that delete button several times before we found a satisfactory result.
DeleteLove those bangs !
ReplyDeleteWhere did you think your daughter got those good looks from?
Happy New Year and God bless.
MUNIR, happy New Year and God bless you and yours as well. Thanks for the nice comment.
DeleteBig, big smiles. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteELEPHANTS CHILD, nothing makes you smile more than having your children and grandchildren around.
DeleteSuch cute pics of two beautiful ladies. Thank you for sharing, you are much braver than I!
ReplyDeleteBRIGHID,you are a beautiful woman and I know your father would approve of you sharing your picture so that you can catch a man. Lol
DeleteGranny Annie is never pitiful! She is as pretty as her daughter - every time.
ReplyDeleteKENJU, and you must be Irish because you're full of Blarney. Thank you my friend
DeleteHow fun. You've got a good teacher there. I still haven't mastered the art of taking a selfie.
ReplyDeletePAT MACKENZIE, it is funny that I am the one holding the camera when it was me who had the hand surgery. You can tell I'm a bit controlling.
DeleteSo pleased I haven't lost you! Life gets a bit dull these days, and its hard to blog with anything interesting! I'm not taking the blog down, maybe I'll add to it when Spring comes and I can get out more than just taking the dog for a walk in the park! Lovely to see what you look like! Daughters are very useful, aren't they! ;)
ReplyDeleteGILLY, to say daughters are useful is definitely an understatement when it comes to my girl. She takes good care of her mama as does her brother.
DeleteYou had a great opening to the new year. You need one of those new contraptions that extend the camera off into the air for selfies...so strange. Love your new header. Reminds me of Picasso in his blue period. Those photos are all inspiring.
ReplyDeleteTABOR I didn't know they had invented something to help take a selfie. That seems to be going a bit far. Glad you liked my digital art. It was a favorite of mine from 2014.
ReplyDeleteThis is the cutest post ever!
ReplyDeleteBest step by step ever! :D
ReplyDeleteYou two are so cute! I really like the new painting at the top.
ReplyDeleteOh Cheese !
ReplyDeleteHeader, Venus De Milo at the pool-side near a restaurant window...?
ReplyDeleteYay! you're out of the Big House, n of course the daughter is always gorgeous in Photos.
The other thing that helps me with self-portraits is the timer function n a pile of books to hold up the cam on the table. Of course many of those tries get deleted as well...
Yep cute tutorial!
Hope that drawing arm ends up better than ever for drawing ASAP!
The picture of you and your daughter is sweet. You both look cute!
ReplyDeleteBut the photo of Slim the other day stole my heart and I have printed it and it is now on the frig for all to see..
Oh...so that's how it's done! :)
ReplyDeleteToo cute! You are both beautiful. I can see the love between you.
ReplyDeleteYou look great in selfies, I don't! Now when will we see a belfie? :D ;)
