New Profile Picture

(Above:  My new social media profile picture.)

I would much rather be behind the camera than in front of it.  One of my eyes seems to squint if I attempt to smile much.  Often, I've got a stupid expression or accidentally move when taking a selfie.  Sometimes I get a finger in the way.  I must have clicked two or three dozen times before getting this result.  I don't really like it that much, but I was tired of trying to get something better ... something that shows me as I am but also my new, super cool eyeglasses.  I might try again ... sometime next week.  This will have to do for now.  At least it is current!  I subscribe to a few newsletters written by other art quilters and fiber artists who are still using the same image after more than a decade.  When I see their face on a Zoom meeting, I'm generally surprised.  They don't look like their picture any more.  I might not age gracefully but I'm not about to present myself with a picture from another era!
