Self Portrait... [Contest Pre Finalists August 2013]
Uploaded: August 06, 2013 06:37:41
Has anyone ever made a picture of them self and liked it? The last thing I want is to see is myself! lol
This was made in my back yard by one of the pine trees... I think this was made in 2012..
However..I love to see fellow BP members so I can identify better with them, so come on gang, put your picture out there! :-)

Gosh, everyone is saying what my first thoughts were. "What a beautiful woman Jo Ann is!"You remind me so much of my Moms best friend when I was a little girl. She was a wonderful, artistic, left handed beautiful lady who had a passion for drawing with pencils.
Anyway this is a really lovely photo of you and it's great to see it larger than your avatar. :)))
I agree. I think everyone should post a photo so we know who we are talking to all the time. :) I'm glad that you did!!
