For Last on the Card – October 2024
Oh well… the first one is from my Sony SLT-A65V – using the macro lens. I was trying to capture details from different distances.
This the last one I took with my Olympus – I have not taken this camera for an outing for three weeks, oh no… this I took during our last stay at the summer house before closing it for the winter.
Well as I aim to be honest, my last is a selfie, cringe 🙂 I had my hair shortened and colored, a transformation that I had been contemplating for quite some time. I just came from the hairdresser, feeling happy about my new look – and I took a shot of myself to commemorate the occasion. Notice that I did not edit the photo :-D, I so wish I had edited it, though, now that I see it on the monitor the harsher light of my screen, I see every little flaw and imperfection. (vanity) A small blessing is that I wore make-up, which helped that not every pore was visible. I wasn’t sure about sharing it, I decided to embrace this little glimpse into my day and it was the last photo on the card.

Your honesty pays off. You look lovely in this photo, and happy too. As you should, with all those lovely surroundings to take photos of.
You look beautiful! I’m long past the stage of taking photos of myself- the wrinkles are painful to see. They say beauty is more than skin deep so I keep hoping, but I’m not going to update my Gravatar any time soon. Happy All Saint’s Day!
Margaret , thanks. Most day I feel like that, mornings in the bathroom are sometimes too truthful, but make-up does wonders. And the inside beauty does shine through – no doubt about it
It’s Jo- Margaret’s still beautiful.
My deepest apologies 🙂 Jo
Don’t be daft! Have a lovely day, Ritva.
You look great in the photo as it is, Ritva, not needed to edit it 🙂
Samuel, you are too kind. Thanks 🙂
Fabulous last photos Ritva. The bokeh in yellow is so good and I like the landscape. That is a lovely selfie, you are quite beautiful. The photo doesn’t need editing, it is perfect 🥰
Thank you for joining in 😀
Thanks Brian, I appreciate your compliment 🙂
You look beautiful, Ritva. My cat is, and shall remain, my Gravatar. 😸
I am not changing my gravatar either. And thanks 🙂
That is a very pleasant selfie – great to meet you!
Thanks Ludwig, likewise 😀
