You’ve seen this one before, but it’s one of my favorites so I’ll post it again. This one was taken with my cat, Pele, a couple of months before she died. It is one of my favorite photos.
I’ve taken other self-portraits, too, but none that I like as much as the one with Pele. But here are a few.
I was unsure about including the last photo. I’m sure you can guess why. But I am in it. It is a self-portrait. And, what good is life without a sense of humor! Hahaha. 😀
Enjoy. This is a fun topic and I may try my hand at other self-portraits this week. If I do, you will know. 🙂

Kathy
I love that you love my earrings! I’m an earrings kinda person. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by. You have a great weekend, too.
Love the 2nd photo. 😀
Thanks, Nancy. 🙂
Me too. I love the B/W one.
Thanks CG. I took that one about six months ago for another project I was working on. Glad you like it.
Thanks for the ping back. I like the funny one at the end, too. No one else has that shot!
🙂 Glad you like it! Thanks for stopping by.
I love your sense of humour! x
Thanks Yvette. That is one of my all time favorite photos. Had no idea what I was capturing until I processes it later. Glad you like it.
The first one is poignant, the second one is beautiful and the last one is funny. All three are great self-portraits!
Thanks Theresa. I appreciate you stopping by and commenting, and, too, that you like them. Self-portraits are a bit intimidating to put out there for the world to see!
Thanks for the pingback. Much appreciated.
These are great!! Margie
Thanks Margie. Glad you like them.
thanks for the pingback!
i really like the last one. cute and funny!
Thanks, Noreen. The last photo is one of my favorites. Didn’t know what I captured until I processed it. Taken at the National Zoo in Washington, DC.
Great selection of love, joy and humour which should show in one’s self portrait.
Thanks Gobetween. I appreciate you stopping by and pausing to leave a comment. Have a glorious weekend.
You showed 3 parts of yourself today. The first photo, the loving and caring person you are. Compassionate. The 2nd, the talented, gifted, embracing life gal you are. 3rd, the fun, and with awesome sense of humor person who inspires the world!!!
IT, that is so kind of you. Thank you. I’m glad you like them, and yes, each has a different mood to it. Have a great weekend.
Love you photos and thanks for visiting my site! Your screen snow is the only snow we’ll see this year in RI!
Thank you, JM, for visiting my sight! I’m looking out at snow right now. We have several inches on the ground. If I could send you some, I would, that is, if you wanted it! Have a great weekend.
and we are having lovely summer days 😉
Truth be told, I prefer summer to winter. Oh well, a few more months and we’ll be there. 🙂
I love the pics, from that one of love, the one of a friend, and the one of the reflections on ancestry
Thanks! I’m glad you like them. The reflections on ancestry? I like that! Have a glorious weekend.
nice shots Cecelia. I like the B&W, and others are fun.
Thank you. I’m glad you like them. I happen to love B&W myself. I used to shoot only B&W, but that was back in the days of film. Haven’t quite mastered it yet with thie DSLR. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
Absolutely perfect entry! Love them all
Thanks nuvofelt. I’m glad you like them. Hope you are having a fantastic weekend! 🙂
You need shavings, you’re too hairy on your third photo. hehehehe Great entries Cecilia.
LOL!!!! I wondered how long it would take someone to say something! Ah yes, the hairy third photo, one of my favs. Enjoy the weekend. 😀
I’ve come here via Kathy McCullough, and just wanted to say I LOVE your photos. (All of them. OK, especially the humor in the last one. Too funny!)
Thank you so much for stopping by! I certainly appreciate it, and I’m glad you like the photos. The last one was taken back in the spring when we were living in Fairfax, VA, close enough to hop the metro into the district (Washington, DC) and the National Zoo. I did not know about the reflections until processing. I love the photo, too. Hope to see more of you. Have a great week.;-)
thanks for the pingback
also a heartbreaking tribute to Pele who is gone – you are not selfish …

Thank you frizztext. You are very kind.
Thanks for the pingback.
I love all the photos. The first photo is a great keepsake of the memories with Pele 🙂
Thank you, Gracie. The first photo is my all time favorite self-portrait. The last one is among the top, but for me, the one with Pele is a special keepsake. I’m glad you recognize that. Thanks for stoppingy by, and I hope you’ll come again.
I love all three portraits and the last one specially! Kudos 🙂 Thank you for sharing your photos with us.
Greetings from Switzerland,
– Pierre
Pierre, thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you’ll come back. I’m glad you like the photos, especially the last one (taken at the National Zoo in Washington, DC, back in the spring.)
Cecelia
I’m very sorry to hear about Pele, Ms. F…
It looks like she was a great friend…
Thanks SIG. I truly miss her. She was a great companion for 18 years. I appreciate your kind thoughts.
thanks for the link back
All great photos (the last one is fun!). I especially love the surreal lightning on the first one. Sorry to hear Pele has passed on, I know how heartbreaking that can be.
Thanks for stopping by Joleene, and for your kind thoughts. I truly appreciate it. Blessings.
I always, always love seeing the picture of you and Pele. Always. I feel it in my heart and think of my Z Cat.
Oh thank you, sweetdays. I miss Pele. The photo is probably my favorite self-portrait of all time. I’m glad you see it, feel it, and think of your Z Cat. Thanks for stopping by.
The monkey’s cute, too!
And your earrings rock —
😀 I love that chimp! His facial expression is priceless. And the earrings, thank you. I am an earring-a-holic. Have a great day.
Cool set of collection you have there Cecelia. I like them all. The third one looks very cool to me, having to capture your family on the reflection of the mirror. Merry Christmas to you and your family! Cheers! 🙂
Thanks aRVee. I did not realize what I caught until processing that evening. I’m glad you like it. 🙂
So that makes the picture even cooler. 🙂
Thanks for the pingback! 🙂 Much appreciated.
Any one of these wonderful portraits would have more than stood on their own but I love the way you have progressed them through together and the story of you they tell.
Thank you, Patti. What a sweet thing to say. I’m glad you like the photos enough to leave a comment. I do appreciate it. Have a wonderful holiday season.
Brilliant! They are excellent and I loved that last one too! 🙂
Thanks Elizabeth. Glad you like them. 🙂
Great series of self-portraits for the challenge.
Thanks! Glad you like them.
nice capture
Thank you, Amar. Thanks for stopping by.
love them all – the last one is definitely a smile
thanks for sharing
Thanks P&K! These three are probably my favorite self-portraits. The first one for sentimental reasons; the second one because I’m writing; the last one because it is by far the most humorous and complex. Glad you like them! 🙂
The one of you and Pele really is very nice indeed, the b&w is a good portrait. Seen the third one before, still cracks me up, very funny!
Hi Conspiracy! Glad you like the photos. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
You area beautiful lady. Thanks for showing us these terrific pictures. Though I must admit in the last photo you could use a little improvement. 😀
Thank you, StrengthToStandAgain. I appreciate you stopping by. And as to the last photo??? Hahaha . . . . yes, I could use a little improvement! 🙂
