Shameless Selfies

Disclaimer: I am not addicted to “Selfies”, I don’t have a “Smart Phone” and don’t use my flip-phone to take pictures. If I want a photo of myself at some location I have to get someone else to use my DSLR to take it, and I very seldom deign to do that. Nevertheless, over the years it appears that I’ve accumulated several dozen photos of just myself at some venue I visited. I have selected a few of them to post in this Set.

Looks like you’ve enjoyed some nice destinations.

Excellent set David.

You sure do get around.

Unfortunately, so does my stomach . . . . :)

David in Dallas Loc: Dallas, Texas, USA

Yes, I have. Thanks for coming!

David in Dallas Loc: Dallas, Texas, USA

Thank you very much! I was worried that it might be too personal and narcissistic.

fantom Loc: Colorado

I like the little girl at Notre Dame sticking her tongue out.
Also, I've never seen the Great Wall with no one on it.
All are super pictures that you will remember for ever.

MtManMD Loc: Beaverton, Oregon

Great set of photos. You are definitely a "traveler". I have also stood "on the marge of Lake Lebarge"!

ghbowser Loc: Shenandoah Valley, Virginia

Looks like you really get around. Enjoyed the journey.

Longshadow Loc: Audubon, PA, United States

UTMike Loc: South Jordan, UT

You have been everywhere and have the pictures to prove it, David!

David in Dallas Loc: Dallas, Texas, USA

fantom, I never noticed that little girl. Huh. Thanks for your nice comments.

MtMan MD, I appreciate the compliment very much. I was with a tour group and the Guide asked if anyone would like to read aloud the poem and I volunteered. I’d never read it before, but apparently I did a good job.

ghbowser, I am pleased that you enjoyed my Set. I have, indeed, done a fair amount of traveling. I plan to do more.

Longshadow, thanks so much for the thumb up! I’m glad you liked it.

UTMike, not everywhere (yet) but I’m working on it. I generally rely on the fact I have photos of where I’ve been to prove I’d been there—Selfies are not required. Yet I do seem to have some.

I envy you for your extensive travels. Good for you. It’s great to see all of these places.

Tdearing Loc: Rockport, TX

Terrific, proof of a lot of interesting fun.
