Sunday Stills-Self Portrait

This week our Sunday Stills challenge was self portrait. Do you know how hard it is to be satisfied with a picture of yourself taken by yourself? For me, it's a big task. But it was the perfect opportunity for me to use my tripod and new remote (thanks Mimi!).

Here's what I ended up with.......






So you should have Wife overload now! But don't worry, it's back to cow and dog pictures. They are a much better subject.
And why was I singing "You're So Vain" as I edited this post? Hmmm...

Like the feather. My bullrider used to always have turkey feather in his hat.

You are very beautiful and did a great job with your self portrait! My daughter has those same boots with the yellow tops.

Whatever you should be on the cover of a cowgirl magazine!! Love the third one, down. My favorite has to be the last one, I love to war my boots with a skirt, or shorts. lol I lOVE your boots!! What are they! It's ok if I get a matching pair, cuz we are sisters after all!!
You are gorgeous!I would have taken your photos. I can't gaurantee you wouldn't have mysteriously ended up with a moustache...he he ask Holly?

Sabrina said...

Gorgeous!Love your eyes peeking out from under the hat! And Lil Man is a doll, too! Love the glowy quality of the pics (whether straig outta the camera or edited--lovely!)

You got it girl ..you may as well flaunt it! The third photo is stunning and sexy too! :)

The Wildwood said...

Very nice shots and they are all so great! You don't look like you are doing it yourself. I have one of those remotes and a tripod, but I have not been able to get the remote to work well for me yet, but I haven't spent much time at it,gave up when it got to be cold weather. Your boots are just the right touch of color and love the spurs! :) you are so dang cute it would not matter!

Faithful said...

WOW! Wife..beauty, brains and a sense of humor, too! How lucky can one cowboy get? Didn't you say you could cook, too? I love your boots and the cowgirl hat! Fantastic pics!

Andrea said...

great shots!! I love the one from saturday where little man was attacking you!! LOL!! Love ones with the cowboy hat!!
