Self-portrait.

I could never swim underwater before this Summer - being too claustrophobic to stay under for more than a second or two. The only thing I can attribute this change to is some hypnotherapy I had last winter for a totally unrelated phobia... so thank you to Gina, my hypnotherapist friend. I have even reached the dizzy heights of being able to swim under a lilo (small fish to some of you... huge deal for me). So today I almost drowned myself trying to get a decent self portrait! I wasn't really happy with any of the results (far too close up, eyes shut, head half out of the water). But then my need to show off my new skill trumped my vanity, so here it is!
