ON the flip side

so the other day, i walked out of the house i'm staying at,

and saw the gorgeous row of palm trees staring back at me.

and i said to myself 'self, we must have a photo of that right now!'

and self and i took out our phone, and took a picture!

and then we looked at it and realized the camera had been set on reverse,

and what i'd taken was that picture on the left - of myself.

so i giggled a bit, because i am six years old, and stayed where i was, taking the pic on the right.

thus, the flip side. literally what was behind the camera and in front of the camera, in photo form.

the picture of me makes me laugh because i really do make that smirk-ish face all the time.

like i am constantly poised to judge or make a smart remark. which, um, you know, i do.

also because i am not just like a six year old in thoughts, but also in size, and so my sunglasses look 

SO BIG on my face and yet they are tiny, not-oversized frames, in real life.

in related news: PALM TREES!!! it's now non-jacket weather here (70's woohoo!)

and i am surely beginning to remember what it is i love best about this place.
