Day # 4 

J is for.....

Jewels, my nick name.... otherwise I was born Julia, and a lot of people call me Jewels, Julie, Jewel, Julius, Jul. The one I love calls me Julia. I am also called, Mom, auntie, and Grandma Julie. 

A little about me. 

I wear my heart on my sleeve. I care deeply about the people in my life. I am a dreamer, and I ponder about the 'would of's', the' should of's' and the 'might of been's' in life.  

I like to think that I have many talents from needle crafts, baking, cooking, gardening, the outdoors for example; walks, hikes, swimming, kayaking, as well as traveling and photography. 

I also like to think that I am pretty good at most things I try and love to do. I like to think that I am somewhat creative with the pen....I write a journal (another great J word), I do that so I can share my story, whether I have written it down or told my story with my camera. 

J is for ... Jewels.

 I decided to do a photo shoot of myself. It is a gorgeous location. This park is only 5 min. from my house!  I don't know about you, but doing a 'Selfie'/  Self portrait, is a real challenge for me let alone posing for the camera with someone else taking the pictures! Between you and me, I would rather stay behind the lens... yes even behind my sunglasses!

I put the camera on a tripod and used a timer for this shot.

I did learn a couple of small pointers. Take a shot, and check to make sure hair is the way you like it. You may not have the chance to go back to your location. Check your lens often, you may get a spot of water, esp. if you are dealing with Mother Nature.You may notice in the middle photo,  there is a sun flare in my hair near my sunglasses... or it could of been a drop of water.

 After my walk today, I feel confident that I could take more self portraits of myself in different locations! 

Most importantly just go and have fun! 

Until tomorrow....

Thank you for reading my post!
