Hey Lovely!
I hope this finds you doing absolutely swimmingly, bathing in light and joy and colour… mmmm.
Want more colour? I have some to share from my hairdresser artist, and some Farmers Market ranuncs. [That’s me pretending to be so botanically cool (or would that be coolly botanical?) that I am authorised to abbreviate ‘ranunculus’! Haha! :D ]
Just look at that sweet flower light reflecting on my face!
I was inexorably drawn to my camera this time I had my hair done – the hair colours were so gorgeous and vibrant, I wanted a photograph with the sunlight shining on them, almost setting them alight. Do the freshly done colours make you smile, too?
As you might know, I’m a *huge* fan of Vivienne McMasters’ photography courses. (<<< Affiliate link in the sentence there.) I’ve *adored* all of Vivienne’s courses that I have done – she is fantastic! If you see goodness in my photo self portraits, it’s because I have learned things from Vivienne.
Remember yesterdays picture post? You can see where that shot came from ^^^ Here’s its photograph cousin vvv
I love the frilled transparency of the petals and the blurry vase and the light here:
Oh, and the colour in this one!
In the next one I like the green reflection in my eye! And, perhaps surprisingly, am happy to see how nicely my eye crinkles are developing :)
I don’t really like that my new glasses are brown :( but I *do* like the shape :) and they come out pretty sharp in these photos, don’t they?
Incidentally, if you’re hankering after one of my calendars – to get some of my bold art & colour for your kitchen or workspace – there’s a sale on calendars at Red Bubble (they print my calendars and tshirts). You can order calendars to start in any month, so they make a great gift (even for yourself) at any time of year! You can find my Tangerine Meg calendars here; use the code HAPPY2013 when checking out for 15% off until November 17.

Beauty in it’s finest. The pictures and your perfectly developing eye crinkles. Light and Love to you!!
Thank you, angel Deanna! Love and light being sent your way, too. M x o
Hey Lovely Tammy! Thank you so much for your kind comment!
I am using a little Canon PowerShot A480. I think these self-portraits were mostly taken at arm’s length; I now also have a tiny bendy tripod that I want to get used to using, probably with the timer mechanism. So glad you like them!
First: LOVE THE HAIR! Really Really love it! Then: the photos are absolutely amazing! How are you taking them and what kind of camera are you using? They’re wonderful! And I can’t tell you which of the photos is my favorite – each has it’s own energy and flavor and calls to a different part of me. So exciting!
