New Profile Picture Candidates

While amusing myself with my camera and a mirror, I decided to do something {slightly} worthwhile.

Which of these pictures do YOU like and think I should use as my new profile pic?

I like the fun angle and my smile...I don't like the flash.

It was natural to lean to my right and have the camera on my right. 

I really like my smile and that you can see the whole camera and me. 

More focus on the camera, a bit cliche, maybe.

Honestly, I'm going back and forth between the last two, but I leave it in the hands of whoever looks at this blog.  (Or I'll make up my own silly mind if no one else cares...)

A pretty 'cliff' formed by the drifting and 50 mph winds.

Ripples caused by winds.

These drifts are actually a couple feet away from the house, giving them an unearthly look.

Pretty, sparkly snow!

After the storm, after the plows, after the sun broke through the clouds.

Another post-blizzard sunshine effect.

THAT'S How You Accessorize!

Soothing Repetition

Some beautiful icicles outside my window.

 I'm soothed to hear my washer running, and it is VERY repetitive; I think this most fully matches the description.

 But this is my favorite.  Chains are repetitive and I loved making these both (the obvious one and the one in the mirror) with Evie.

Shades of Gray

My photo for this week.  I felt no inspiration and just snapped this while realizing that I had a couple hours left.  My ceiling fan, SOOC.

Illustrate a Song

These first three I took with the song, "Reflection" by Christina Aguelera in mind.

 This last was taken with the song "Lollipop!" in mind.

I'm submitting the first one.

P.S. I don't know why, but I can't make the b/w picture show me the original; I must have saved it the wrong way.

Around the House

{Before edits on first, then submission}

My childrens' books.  What I love here are all the colors!  I love to see their white bookcase stacked neatly with their books.

 My sewing machine.

This looks really pretty in black and white!

The wall letters in my bathroom.

Ever since we renovated the bathroom, it has been one of my favorite places to be.  Uh, by that I mean that I enjoy taking baths, am not disgusted to use the facilities, etc.
