I'm really happy with my new bike helmet! I had been looking for one for a while that would match my purple bicycle! And I hope this will be the last time I feel it's necessary to post a picture of myself for a while!
On the day before our wedding anniversary this year, John and I took a day trip to Kure Beach, NC. In the same area is the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher. As you walk thru the aquarium, you start out in the Cape Fear Conservatory (which can be seen to the right in this 3D map. It's a habitat for birds, fish and reptiles that live in the Cape Fear River. The roof is glass, which lets in lots of sunshine, making the place very bright and beautiful, but that also makes it difficult to get a good photograph of the animals thru the Plexiglas aquariums. I finally gave up trying to capture the fish in this one clearly and called John over to stand next to me so I could take a picture of the two of us!
Well, Shutterday is doing self-portraits tomorrow, too, so you'll be seeing me again then. This is one I took of myself for something that the forum readers on Find a Grave called "Global Graving Weekend". We were supposed to get out to take pictures in a cemetery and take one of ourselves while we were there. I propped my camera up on another tall gravestone with a flat top to take this one.
When I got a new camera, I started feeling ambitious. I've been entering my very ordinary snapshots on every photo meme site I can find. Maybe there's someone out there who won't think they're all just awful!
I would really love to hear what people think. I've also added the ratings recently in case there are people who have an opinion but don't feel like writing a comment!
All of these pictures are stored on Picasaweb and I've set up a slideshow of them on the bottom of the left column. If you're interested, clicking on the entry will open another window where you can see more info, such as the date and location of the picture. Or check out this map showing where my pictures were taken.
Clicking on the post title should take you to the challenge where I've submitted the photo.
