23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Relaxing with Nature

I did a composite of two self portraits 8/27/2024 mid-afternoon on the edge of our property where there were a scattering of Black- Eyed Susan's and Queen Anne's Lace wildflowers growing. Although self portraits are challenging, with camera on tripod to get in place within 10 seconds, I felt comfortable that day, being part of nature on God's good earth.
