indoors outdoors

Posted for week 4 of the Dogwood Challenge: tell a story using a mirror.

I thought I could not do this but then remembered past selfies with my little Lumix. My story is that it is bitterly cold outside. I have just returned from the morning walk with Jinks. Inside, the house is warm and snug with my Christmas orchid blooming.

This is the best I can do for this week's challenge.

(I'm working on 'purple with a red hat')

What a great self portrait Hazel, and back story too. Love the co-ordinating flowers and scarf!

[Annie D]

What a gorgeous portrait Hazel!

@365anne
thank you - the co-ordination is purely coincidental!

@annied

Thank you - my more sophisticated camera failed totally at this task (the fault could lie with me of course) - hooray for my little Lumix!

@claycameras

Carissa, I've had that scarf several seasons - some things you just love and keep on wearing them all the time?!

[Carissa]

@quietpurplehaze I know the feeling! Practically every time I leave the house I wear the same hat. I got a whole bag full of new hats that I love but I can't seem to stop wearing my favorite.

[Hazel]

@claycameras

I guess it's what makes us feel comfortable as well as the fact, in my case, that I love the colours!

[Joseph M Snaith]

Lovely.....

[Pyrrhula]

[Pam]
