OLW Blog Hop - Embrace Imperfection
Welcome.
If you're here for the Blog Hop, I hope you enjoyed visiting Lisa, as well as everyone else in the hop so far.
When my friends Cherry Kay, Chuck, Becky and I visited Creston Canada for all of about 30 minutes during our quick trip to the Pacific Northwest at the end of July, I found myself on what I usually consider the wrong end of the camera. I think Cherry Kay spotted this mural sporting a hotel baring my surname. It was agreed I had to be photographed in front of the mural.
It's not a great photo of me. My hair is clipped back, I have on little to no make up and we had been in the car for about six hours by that point in the day ... no one looks good after that. The thing I noticed as I scrolled through my photos from the trip and came across this one...the smile is real. For me, that's always the best measure of a photo. Is the smile real? If it is, then nothing else really matters.
So, here I am. Perfectly imperfect. And I'm embracing it.
I shot another photo specifically for this project this month. My hands at the piano at my folks place.
No smile though. I'll go with a real smile anytime.
Thanks for visiting. I hope you enjoy the Blog Hop this month! Have a great time visiting Ruth. For a full list of participants, scroll down just a bit more.
