Alongside the rubbish pile? priceless! I also love the idea of the flash catching you in whatever expression happens at the time. It's a form of performance art, in a way. I'm so boring. You inspire me to lift my game. :)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156106727490224625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859347726001714274.post-10898419898703667292016-03-19T12:55:14.067-07:002016-03-19T12:55:14.067-07:00You do "Surly" and "Happy" equ...You do "Surly" and "Happy" equally well, although I am particularly fond of your surly face. You need to make a sign that you carry with you for your photoshoots that says "Move Along, Nothing to See Here". Obviously the guy who said "Carry On" understands you. I would like to try different backgrounds but in my place there is either the front porch or the backyard.Forest City Fashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428940427287921203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859347726001714274.post-4597518680396552312016-03-17T15:16:38.898-07:002016-03-17T15:16:38.898-07:00O makes me the best things.

The stickers on that door are very forbidding and ominous. OF COURSE I won't go in there!!! Everyone walks by the hall I was in as they go to the main trash room, so I was glad of the darkness. <br />I was wondering about the scarf too. It's exquisite. But you know what it's like, you have a great piece and nobody wants it, so you donate it. This one was maybe $8 at My Sister's closet... <br />Yes, O is a spectacular winner!!

My heart would take a leap to get out passed my teeth (you have indeed wonderful teeth; I envy you for them). What was he doing downstairs in that place with his mother? Why on earth would he go there? Did O tell him you were there? I think it looks rather clean there. Of course I cannot smell it.<br />I love your last photo. I like to see you smile and be happy. Gorgeous smile, gorgeous teeth, fantastic scarf, the blue of which matches your lovely blue eyes. The scarf will have been expensive... Why would anyone want to sell it at a low price? I never part with my scarves. And then the O-ring with ruby....
