Family Portrait...Kind of.

Every year around this time I make sure that I take a photo of myself. I am coming up to my 60th year in a few days....(I share the Libran Dragon space with Yuba....rather illustrious company I would think).
I usually take it on the day but things might be a bit busy and It would be so easy to space out and not do at all......so today was the day

I think that it's because I am a vain bugger..... the older I get I cringe at what is looking back at me....usually a bit painful so I stay the other side of the camera....and carry on regardless.
It's a strange thing seeing everything go south and the creases start to get so deep spakfilla is needed to fill them in...I think the strangest thing is, is that what one feels inside is NOT what is usually portrayed on the outta.

Anyway be that as it may...I feel that I have hit the landmark where I can throw what I look like out the window and just grow older gracefully...have fun and become more childlike...because all things being equal who gives a toss?
....and I have to say I do so celebrate older women enjoying being themselves, laughing.....and well generally getting up to mischief.

This is a portrait ...kind of....of me and my little family ......and Rumi's bum.
