"In another moment Alice was through the glass, and had jumped lightly down into the looking-glass room.
"The very first thing she did was to look whether there was a fire in the fireplace, and she was quite pleased to find that there was a real one, blazing away as brightly as the one she had left behind.
"So I shall be as warm here as I was in the old room," thought Alice: "warmer, in fact, because there'll be no one here to scold me away from the fire. Oh, what fun it'll be, when they see me through the glass in here, and can't get at me!"
@quietpurplehaze :-) It's a toast to you, Hazel, just as Rick (Humphrey Bogart) toasted Ilsa (Ingrid Bergmann). There's loads on the internet if you out in those words ('kid', instead of 'Hazel' of course. :) ) As one discussion of it's meaning says: Don't take it too seriously. It just came to mind when I saw your photo...of you. :) Best wishes.
@quietpurplehaze It's a very famous line/quote, as Google will show. Bogart is looking through the bottom of a (beer) glass as he says it. Seeing the glass of your lens must have prompted the memory, seemed appropriate anyway. Enjoy your weekend, best wishes to Ray.
Thank you for all the interesting and varied responses to my impromptu selfie. It seemed that the 'landscape' at Woolbeding Gardens was just set up for selfies, first the water sculpture with its reflections and then, unexpectedly, coming round a corner I found this mirror set in the blue shutters.
Yes, I got quite interested reading quotes online.
Thank you. And yes that is my most serious lens, mid-range and all purpose.
Just my feeble attempt to join in with the fiveplustwo selfie challenge, Richard. Mine are always a bit lightweight, methinks!
Mine was Heidi living on the mountain with her grandad!

Your comment made me look back and I find I have been doing an unnumbered series of selfies: more or less one per month since last December!!
It's OK. One good thing about 365 is that it's more light hearted than other photo-sharing websites but is still informative, helpful and supportive.
