Right Here Right Now - August's Self Portraits

It's the last Friday of the month and time to share this month's self portraits with Urban Muser and {In the Picture}.

This month's optional theme was my life, right now - a great theme to capture the present environment or daily happenings in my life:

Enjoying the last weeks of summer:
215/365+1 Poolside #fromwhereisit #summer

Because fall baseball season has just started and I'm waiting on the bleachers:
217/365+1 Evening on the Bleachers #selfie

And I bought myself a new toy:
Friday Afternoon

Selfie Times Two

Took a short business trip to the birthplace of the Heath bar and ended up with an inadvertent selfie:
Origins of the Heath Bar Candy Company. Now Part of Hershey #illinois #antiques #sweet

The days have shortened and I'm now waiting in the car in the dark.
Waiting #selfie

As always, it's not too late to start taking self portraits. You can check out the other participants in this challenge in the flickr group.

    Great self-portraits! My photo club's first assignment was a selfie and I shot my shadow...and so did 3 other people. I need to get more creative here but I'm having a 'block' with selfs. I need to practice! Catching up after a week away and love your 'sound track' post. I recall my favorite fragrance smelled like lily of the valley...can't recall the name and that music; well, they don't make 'em like that any more!!!
