Photo Challenge: Self Portrait

This Friday’s photo challenge is self portrait.

What to do?

Then I caught a glimpse of us in the mirror in the hallway.

Ten years ago it was.

Happily, I am thinner now.

I like my girl on my shoulder.

    I love how you photographed this through the mirror, like a glimpse into yourself and your past. And it tells a story too. Your daughter leaning on her mum. Love it.
