So we were invited to our friends' house for tea and cake yesterday. And so I thought I'd take my new camera with me in case they were interested. Which they did seem to be, so I gave it to one of them and said: "Have a look. Take a shot if you want."
I was just explaining a couple of things about the camera when I heard a click.
So here I am in full (ex) teacher flow............
Love it !! such a lovely candid photo --you were really in good flow here !! and as another ex teacher who always & still does "talk with her hands " this camera does tale extremely well defined photos ! Super --have fun with your new camera :-)
Hazel - this has to be a Fav! You are caught completely off-guard and you look super!! You are serious, that's true, but it just shows your earnest commitment to photography!! Love, love, love it!!
What a fool! What was it I said? 'Take a shot'..... Thank you for the fav, Patricia. It's your fault I guess for calling me 'queen of the unexpected selfie'. It really is quite funny to see oneself as others see you! (I'm quite earnest about most things!)
I love this community!! Look at how all of us former teachers can relate to each other-- and you, of course-- about the hands! Quite a lovely shot of you, too!
@barbcapecod
Thank you!
Ray is starting to have the idea that we are ALL ex-teachers on here!
I think once a teacher, one always has a need to communicate knowledge?!
Yes it was lovely at the water gardens thanks, Gerry and today I am busy walking Jinks, going for a swim, going to German group and then cooking roast chicken dinner! Have a good week yourself!
@quietpurplehaze You're right! I think it's our sociability and active minds that keep us busy and make us join in with things! My husband, something of a solitary wasp given the chance, despairs of me!
It really does look like that, doesn't it?! Had no idea that's how I looked in 'front of class'!!!
I do like this new camera but didn't know it would be used as a 'weapon' against me! And as for the hands - no idea either!
Nice 'action' shot

Thanks - it IS funny being captured off-guard so to speak!
You are very kind!
Thanks - you have a good memory!
Very unexpected!
Yep, not accidental on somebody's part!
Yes but would you have wanted to be in my class?!!
I think there is more than a grain of truth in the saying that teachers are born not made!
Oh thanks, Gerry!

It's amazing how many teachers and ex-teachers there seem to be on 365 - or is it that we just cluster together like bees or butterflies?!
