Jane

Well, after Helen thought my birthday shot of "Baby Light My Fire" was of my husband, I figured I better introduce my 70 yo self! I just can't figure out how I got so old so old so fast. This was actually taken by a friend.
Thanks for being such fun friends.
The years go quicker, the older we get!! This is a great selfie Jane, your eyes are beautiful :)

Wonderful character shot

very nice selfie Jane you do not look 70
January 12th, 2014  
oops - you know I didn't have my contact lenses in!! A beautiful selfie!
January 12th, 2014  
This is a lovely shot of you.
And I'll be 63 next month and for the life of me can't figure out when that happened. My guess is that means that they were full and wonderful years.

All of your hiking and early morning swimming keep you young! Everyone your age is not able to accomplish what you are doing all of the time! Also, the view of your magnificent surroundings convey to me a classic timeless beauty; which is what I see in the portrait that is you!.
I see that your friend took the shot, but did you do the processing?
January 12th, 2014  
A great portrait shot of you. Your character shines out, lovely smile and eyes.
January 12th, 2014  
Beautiful, wish I had half your energy!
January 12th, 2014  
70 years young! Great portrait of a phenomenal photographer! I find your images beautiful and amazing and can't wait to see what you'll be posting next.

@sunraye you are so kind. Yes, I did the processing and didn't get rid of any of the myriad of wrinkles

Beautiful portrait, Jane! What a lovely sweet smile :)

Beautiful portrait of 70 yo you! Thanks for sharing, and belated birthday wishes!
January 12th, 2014  
Old? No way, you look fantastic and 70 these days is definitely not old! Lovely shot.
January 12th, 2014  
Great portrait
January 12th, 2014  
Well Jane I think you look fabulous at 70...I am a year older than you & I think looking at the pair of us we haven't done too badly! You have great bone structure & are far more beautiful than all the over made up, botoxed women we sometimes see around us.
A natural born beauty....& a very fit one too!!

You have a beautiful and kind face. A lovely portrait. :)
January 12th, 2014  
You look gorgeous. Love your smile
January 13th, 2014  
A lovely portrait.
January 13th, 2014  
Lovely portrait
January 13th, 2014  
Lovely selfie. You don't look old at all.
January 13th, 2014  
Lovely portrait! I love your passion for life, hobbies, and the great outdoors. You are an inspiration I want to be traveling to great places and taking pictures to document my life. Cheers Jane! I hope we can someday do a meet up I'm in Seattle.
January 13th, 2014  
I like to think of it as you got so old because you took fairly decent care of yourself. Nice portrait of you.

@mrsvanpatten I would love to...my daughter lived there until a year ago so it would have been easy! Any chance you want to explore the OR coast?
January 13th, 2014  
@webfoot well said...I have tried!
January 13th, 2014  
You look fabulous! Of course this is a comment coming from a younger man - 9 months younger! One of the benefits of getting older is I now appreciate the beauty of more mature women.
January 13th, 2014  
beautiful, it happens to all of us,
January 13th, 2014  
Nice to meet you! Lovely photo :)
January 13th, 2014  
Me either. What happened to us. It's still nice to be around though. Even with creaky knees and boring ailments.
January 13th, 2014  
@jgpittenger I'm in love with the Or coast, yes.
January 13th, 2014  
@mrsvanpatten let me know when you are coming!
January 13th, 2014

I am so far behind - happy birthday and pleased to meet your beautiful self!
January 23rd, 2014  
Hope you had a great birthday. You are definitely one of those who qualify for "70 years young."

I just love this! Great expression, and a gentle kindness in those eyes! The comments on growing older brought to mind a song by Dar Williams that Joan Baez sings:

"I'm so glad that you finally made it here
With the things you know now, that only time could tell
Looking back, seeing far, landing right where we are
And oh, you're aging, oh and I am aging oh, aren't we aging well?"

@nanalisarocks lovely words! Thanks
