A bit of Myself by maggiemae

A bit of Myself

I chose this scene as it displays a lovely picture given to us from our son who bought it at a market in Zambia. He is still there flying planes all over the place - Africa. The picture is of a bicyclist on his way to sell nuts and stopping for a pancake type food at this lady's place
Awesome selfie

Nice selfie!
July 2nd, 2012  
Good job with the selfie -- I like the picture, too!
July 2nd, 2012  
Lovely selfie. And I love the picture your son bought for you.
July 2nd, 2012  
Great selfish and nice picture also.

Wonderful picture as well as wonderful peek into your world! Thanks!
July 2nd, 2012  
Lovely selfie and a nice peek into your home, Maggiemae! It's a beautiful painting!
July 2nd, 2012  
is Shaun your son?
July 2nd, 2012  
@jsw0109 How did you know? Yup, he is!
July 2nd, 2012  
He was the first person I followed on 365! One of his photos was my first FAV. I miss his posts. I figured since he was a pilot in Zambia that it was too much of a coincidence for him to be the son you were referring to.
July 2nd, 2012  
I meant too much of a coincidence to NOT be....
July 2nd, 2012  
@jsw0109 He was the reason I started! I think he found the internet so difficult - took 2 hours to load a photo - so he stopped. He doesn't communcate much as adult sons do not!

What a lovely selfie and view into your life!
July 2nd, 2012  
@maggiemae that's unfortunate
July 2nd, 2012  
@lyno Thank you Lyn, you are very welcome!
July 2nd, 2012  
@marlboromaam I think it's nice to see someone with whom you share so much, so thanks!
July 2nd, 2012  
Nice selfie Maggiemae. You look all rugged up!
July 2nd, 2012  
Wonderful selfie! The picture is lovely too! Your son has amazing taste in art!

Great selfie!
July 2nd, 2012  
Lovely shot of yourself and picture! Pretty hairdo...change from profile. Interesting to learn about your son and that he got you started on 365!
July 2nd, 2012  
wonderful selfie, Maggiemae... if your son is who i think he is, i followed him as well... i miss his photos a lot!
July 2nd, 2012  
I love the colors in your home- very warm and cheery! What a beautiful gift from your son. I see that it not only adorns your home but keeps him close to your heart. Nice selfie!
July 2nd, 2012  
Beautifully composed selfie
July 2nd, 2012  
@northy He was sicamore, Northy. A great artist, I thought!
July 2nd, 2012  
@olivetreeann What a nice thing to say, Ann - thank you!
July 2nd, 2012  
Such a nice selfie!
July 2nd, 2012  
Great selfie - your hair has changed a lot since your profile pic!

My son is training to become a pilot :)
July 2nd, 2012  
@boogie Mmm.. That was a few years ago! I think the profile should remain identifiable to be recognised!
July 2nd, 2012  
@maggiemae Mine was three years ago - I haven't done a proper selfie yet, but when I do I'll use it (I think!)
July 2nd, 2012  
What a wonderful selfie! It is nice to put a face with your name.
July 2nd, 2012  
Nice selfie, I like the composition to include your sons painting which is wonderful :)
July 2nd, 2012  
Aww....Lovely to see you & that painting is just fabulous!.....we have been to Zambia & Zimbabwe, Such a beautiful country! : ]
July 2nd, 2012  
@boogie Think about for a while Mags and decide what you would like as a background - or even B&W or sepia - useful for hiding lines!
July 2nd, 2012  
@maggiemae I don't have many lines, but I have LOTS of sag - anything useful for hiding that??
July 2nd, 2012  
You can use a ''retouch' tool if you have one- a little dabadooya - it blurs a tiny or larger area
July 2nd, 2012  
Nice pictures ... both yours and the painting!
July 2nd, 2012  
Great selfie Maggiemae, love the context too and the things in the frame that hold so much meaning!
July 2nd, 2012  
Lovely selfie, and lovely picture too.
July 2nd, 2012  
Awesome Selfie Maggie and the painting is full of bright colors - I can see why it is displayed prominently.
July 2nd, 2012  
What a lovely shot!
July 2nd, 2012  
This is a gorgeous shot Maggie. What a life your son must lead!
July 2nd, 2012  
Wonderful selfie Maggie.

Beautiful photo of your cherished photo and lovely home. Great selfie of you.

Lovely Selfie Maggie, and you have a Beautiful Home.
July 2nd, 2012  
Awesome selfie, Maggie and I love the whole natural setting---you enjoying a cup of coffee or tea in your lovely kitchen, etc. The painting your son gave you is a real treasure and goes so well with your decor.
July 2nd, 2012  
What a great selfie and love the painting your son gave to you, Maggiemae. You have a beautiful home.
July 2nd, 2012  
Aw lovely photo maggie and great picture.. never been to Zambia .. well not quite.. might have flown onto that side with an NZ pilot back in the late 70's early 80's with my Mum at Kariba. Seems there are quite a few Kiwis up in Africa :-)
July 2nd, 2012  
A beautiful selfie and a lovely painting!
July 2nd, 2012  
@carolinedreams Thanks Caroline- he has a good life - gets his own cook,, housekeeper, and self contained rondeval!

Love your home ,it looks modern, airy & homely. Nice to see you too & do you think I might recognise you if we ever bumped into each other in NZ ? Perhaps if I get down your way we could meet up!
