June's Self Portraits

This month's optional theme at Urban Muser's {in the Picture} challenge was "face down", referring to the Planking technique popping up in photos. Planking consists of lying face down, hands by your sides in unusual places. Technically, these should be executed in a public place, but I couldn't get my nerve up to do that!

Here's my planking pose:


My other selfies taken over the past 5 weeks:

Taken on my 45th birthday at the end of May.


I'm reading the book, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, by Haruki Murakami.

The book is a memoir of the author's various running and triathlon experiences. As I runner, I enjoyed it, especially lines like: "Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional."

Finally, the next week, I'm reading again, but this time to get my mind off the fact that our beloved cat, Sam, has been missing for a week. Three weeks later and he's still missing....


I haven't taken many photos in the last two weeks, hence no recent selfies. Hopefully, I'll get back into the swing of things again.


All photos taken with my iPhone 4s.
