Photo

Today's reverb 10 prompt: Photo - a present to yourself

Sift through all the photos of you from the past year. Choose one that best captures you; either who you are, or who you strive to be. Find the shot of you that is worth a thousand words.

In May I took this self portrait for a photography class assignment.  I put on a vintage gown and set up my newly purchased tripod in my back yard.  The sun was radiant and warm on my shoulders.  I was looking at my image reflected in the glass door behind me as the timer counted down.  The smile is real.  I was happily embracing my new life, no work and lots of play.  This photo propelled me to join 365 Days on Flickr.   The beginning of many new adventures . . .
