It’s time for another round of self portraits with 7 Days! I started doing 7 Days for two reasons -
1. Sarah asked me to. And Sarah is lovely and funny and kind and I like her.
2. I thought, “That’s a great way to make oneself more comfortable in one’s own skin.”
Well, it isn’t really. I still look at every photo and gasp at the gazillion imperfections. (can I just point out that my nose looks disproportionately HUGE in this shot because I took it on macro and my nose was the closest point to the lens? I just. needed. to. mention that.)
But sometimes I’m surprised by what I see. Like this one, where I took a photo of myself and inside the camera it turned into a photo of my Dad.
Thank you all for being understanding and sweet. I feel much better thank you *mwah*
I just thought of a third reason for doing 7 Days – I’m a NARCISSIST!!
I always thought I looked like my dad but am quietly horrified to discover i now look more like my mother. I have done a “I am from….” on my blog – you get a mention (and link) too.

It’s true. Her nose is not that big in real life.

Ooops! That last comment wasn’t anonymous — it’s from me. The place to sign in didn’t pop up — I wondered how it was going to know it was me LOL!

You look wonderful Mrs. K! I look more and ore like my mother… I like to think I’m unique and look like nobody else, which of course is true… At least my fingerprints are… !

Love that photo. Very thinking (wo)man. I favor each of my parents. But the older I get the more I SOUND like them. Very, very frightening.
