London Reflections
I was 7years younger and 7 pounds lighter (and my hair was 7 shades darker and 7 cm. shorter) when this photo was taken. I have posted only a very few photos of myself on my blog, but I'm finally posting this one just because I love how it bends my mind when I look at it! Here's what was going on:
So, Kevin and I were sitting in a little hole-in-the-wall coffee shop across the street from the Palace of Westminster. He pulled out the camera to take a picture of that amazing building through the window of the coffee shop. What we got was the photo above.
Pretty crazy, huh! The photo was taken from inside the coffee shop, remember.
Not sure what the red wrapper was from, but undoubtedly some form of chocolate - which explains one of the 7's.

Loved the picture your hubby took, and also the picture below of the bldg. Incredible journey you had.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo and surprise for you.
ReplyDeleteI do not like having my photo taken, but my blog is a diary of sorts so I suppose I have to make an occasional appearance :-)
The red wrapper was most probably a Kit Kat wrapper.
That is truly a wonderful capture! A nice surprise, and one that I would probably find a frame for.
ReplyDeletecool shot of you and the building. I love reflections like this and thanks for putting a face to your words. great story to
ReplyDeleteDon't you love those kind of photos! Yes I'd frame it for a wonderful memory and "conversation piece."

ReplyDeleteVery cool photo! You look a little star stuck with London! Lol! As I am sure we all would look if/when we end up there.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great photo. So much happening in that reflection. I'm just amazed you could find a photo from 7 years ago, you must be so organised.
ReplyDeleteThat photo is truly amazing. My night photos never turn out even with a digital camera.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these photos are a success. Sometimes you don't get what you expect, but what you deserve and it's all for the best.
ReplyDeleteIt's either Skittles or a Kit Kat :) (21 comments on this post, I'm the first to talk about sweets...no surprise there then)
ReplyDeleteYes, I really like the reflections, precious pictures!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a lovely picture. I almost never post pictures of myself but i would like to do so more often.
ReplyDeleteLovely captures, Judy, and that first one fits so beautifully with your scriptural quote on the side bar! Thanks for sharing. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat was a great shot of you AND the scenery. What a wonderful place to have a cup of coffee and view!
