Mini
Mini, Mini, what could be mini? I like mini skirts but I don’t have one single picture of one. Cuz I may be a lech but not so bad as to where I go take pictures of women in mini skirts. So for mini I am going for my Diana Mini film camera. It is a plastic 35 mm camera that I use a lot. Above is a picture of Heather riding a bicycle beside me. And it is March so hopefully bike riding weather will be back!!
Shoes
This Heather and I at the movies. I post lots of pictures of my boots on Instagram with the tag “#cowboybootsfornoncowboys” You see I grew up out in the sticks of the mountain west with cowboys. I have relatives who are cowboys and I like cowboys but I am not one. I knew that from a very early age that I liked the big city. I like cowboy boots though. I love’em as a matter of fact. My 59 days of birthday is coming up next month and I could use a another pair of boots just in case you are wondering what to get me. Just saying.
Hey by the way if you are on Instagram lets be friends!! I am yogiab if you want to link up.
Mirror Mirror
I love mirrors and taking pictures of myself and others in mirrors. I know that it is suddenly fashionable to say you don’t like selfies. I have never been fashionable. Above is Heather and I at a restaurant. I always have at least three cameras with me these days. A small point and shoot, my android smart phone, and an ipod touch. No selfies for about three weeks though. In the continuing saga of my skin issues I started a three day regimen of stuff on my forehead that will kill any remaining bad cells. I can tell that my appearance is going to get worse (if that is possible!!!) before it gets better. Buy hey its all good.
Shopping
Shopping, I hate shopping unless I am doing a Kohl’s run. This is from Country Club Plaza in Kansas City. They have a huge multiblock outdoor type shopping center. Don’t these people look like they are having fun. My favorite is the blonde girl in the black outfit with her arms folded, the strange socks and the black boots. I’m guessing that she is with her parents. I love the girl’s boots. I would like a pair of black Doc Marten boots (note another Birthday Hint!!). I have a pair of “dress” Doc Martens and I love them. It took a while to break them in and now I wear them a lot.
And yes I have a bad habit of inventing stories about random people. Sitting on a bench in a busy area like an airport or shopping center and making up stories about the people I see is fun for me. Heather doesn’t like it. So I do it here from time to time.
Just Because
This is a “Tiny Planet” photo of downtown Tulsa taken from the northwest side. Tiny Planet photos are folded around on themselves. If you are smart and have photoshop you can make them. Or you can download an App on your smart phone if you are not so smart and don’t have photoshop. I just love tiny planet photos. I can tell my Instragram friends are tired of them. So I’m inflicting them on you. I don’t feel sorry for you though. You already put with a lot from me. And I appreciate it!
You are so clever!! Fun, different and great shots for the day! Hope your weekend is off to a great start!!
As usual you have done a great job with the prompts. I especially like the first pic of Heather on the bike and, of course, you gotta love the boots.
Can’t really wear cowgirl boots here in the mountains or I’d fall on the ice – however, you see lots of tourist wanna-be cowgirls with them on. I may have to get that Tiny Planet. I think I’m spending way too much time playing with photos! Carrying 3 cameras is like a paparazzi!
My favourite day of the week to read your post. My favourite pictures are the “selfies”. However, Heather doesn’t seem quite so happy. Your boot picture is a reminder of my late husband who had a shoe fetish in that we would have to drive to Pickering in North Yorkshire to go to a certain shop that sold his type of shoes – a two hundred mile round trip!!!
I wonder what he would have thought about online shopping? What I do know is he would have loved your comments as he was a camera nut. What a difference twenty-plus years make – one of my fondest memory is of Tony filling a “huge” leather case with all his camera, film and lens paraphernalia – carrying three cameras around would have been a back-breaking experience back in those days:-)
Fantastic job with this week’s hunt!! Love your boots! I’m a city girl too. Not a big fan of shopping either.
As usual, a clever scavenger hunt. I love the Tiny Planet shot.
Sorry I haven’t been around but writing and reading blogs isn’t easy when on the road.
BTW, my 60th birthday is the end of the month and I don’t like cowboy boots but do need a new pair of hiking boots. Hint, hint.
Think I’ll try 60 days of birthday this year.
Outstanding set of images. Does Heather ever give you grief for always pulling out a camera and snapping pictures? Cowboy boots are perhaps the most comfortable shoes ever made. I haven’t owned a pair in ages, but I may just invest in some now that I’ve seen yours. Yep, I grew up in Oklahoma, but I’m just not a cowboy. Have a blessed Sunday.
I’ve not heard of Tiny Planet photos before your post. I took my first selfie, post for my mirror shot, but not fond of taking them. I do like the ways yours turned out.
Wow, that last photo really rocks. I like mirror photos too, and mirrored in reflections, whether it’s cool or not too! I am following you on twitter already, and I have the app for Instagram and have been thinking about using it, my daughter mentioned a few points against it so that’s why I haven’t tried it yet. All your photos were perfect, especially the mirror, mirror, very cool!
I love the tiny planet photo. Hopefully I can be smart enough to (1)get photoshop so I can try it out for myself, and (2) learn to use it. The only editing program I have on my laptop is paint. I just can’t get it to do what I want. The mirror made a cool shot of you and Heather.
I do like that last shot. I don’t have Photoshop and since it is only cloud now, have no plans to get it. I have LR5 becuase I could get it without having to be on the cloud.
Great shots.
If you don’t want to look like city folk in cowboy-like boots, you’ve got to go for the “real” thing. My favorite brand is Anderson Bean. We have a lot in common brother, I hate shopping also.
