Out and About 2 July Submission from Virginia

OMG! I took this photo in a Victoria's Secret store in Louisville, Kentucky, back in May when I was taking a respite from dealing with my Mom's hospitalization. I was looking for some pj's and wandered into the dressing room. I loved the "Strip" neon letters -- bold eye candy -- giving a bit of levity to an often painful situation for many women ) I mean really, who likes looking at yourself -- unless you are a runway model or you've had great plastic surgery, or you are anybody but yourself?) So when I walked into "the dreaded changing room," I immediately started giggling and cutting up and pulling, my trust Mirror Mirror camera out, memorialized the moment. So I see a quick witted, humerous gal spontaneously enjoying the dressing room moment with her clothes ON!

Mirror Mirror Challenge July Submission from Judie F.

"The Cheetah picture is one I took at Safari West. It is in a frame on the wall in the bathroom. I took the pictures in the bathroom mirror. The camera was held low and tilted up so that it was not in the picture. The one I sent you was one out of eight or nine tries to get what I wanted. This is what I see about me in this photo:

Looking at some of my animal pictures, I'm a cat. I love some time alone to bask in the sun, stretch and preen. I love being taken care of as long as I can have my independence as well. I rarely snarl or snap but can pounce when necessary. If treated right, I will purr. " -- Judy

"I'm always promoting my sister. And here I am, enjoying her Mirror, Mirror Challenge post. If she posts this one, maybe I can take another picture next month with this picture in the background and a new mirrored self-portrait in the foreground. How deep will this go?" -- Jesse S.

"I took this photo at the Co. fair last night. This is the refection in the bumper of a semi truck. Growing up in a transportation family, I learned that the name Peterbilt was a sign of quality. I also love the farm scenes in the background." -- Billy Hayes

"This month I tried to find my mirror mirror image in other reflective materials...found many, but the one which surprised me and made me smile was when I caught myselfwatching me washing the dishes." -- Sheryl

July Challenge Submission from Billy

Here is my entry for July. I really like the colors and angles. I spent all day today with my father who will be 81 on Wed. It was a good day. He was responsive and tried to talk. My granddaughter Aubrey and my daughter Andrea paid us a surprise visit. It was wonderful. Aubrey fed him ice cream, and shaved him with an electric razor, as she had seen her great-grandmother do many times. The good days to come will be few. He will be going to a nursing home soon. -- Billy

July Challenge Submission from Chrissy

As u can see I attempted another mirror photo.. I was trying to get the other reflection of my full length mirror behind me, and just couldn't get the right position... anyway this is my bathroom, from what little u can see of it... Actually its just two mirrors w/the medicine cabinet one angled to reflect onto the sink mirror....Sometimes I feel like those 3 images rolled into one.... I am a mom, gf, caretaker of Kalei.... also a person who reminds my kids that their bills are sitting here waiting to be paid....The older we get, we all have many hats to fill...

Ok, I was a busy little bee Sunday -- after the fair, en route to yet another dance rehearsal (which I love doing by the way -- this time swing and ballroom style numbers) -- I stopped at my favorite coffee hang out -- Peet's -- and caught a pic outside of the store in the glass window front. Love it (dirty hair or not!). A beautiful Sunday in Marin County doing things I love to do. One interesting note: two men were chatting at a table off to my side. They asked me what I was doing and I told them about the blog. One of them told me that the Science Exploratorium in San Francisco was having a special exhibit called "Reflections" ; an exhibit that "...lets you look at your own image as you have never seen it before. Meet yourself in a giant mirror, watch as a video snowstorm creates your image, and witness your visage as it is multiplied into hundreds of kaleidoscopic views." Sounds like a field trip to me! I love the synchronicity of life, don't you?
