Here I am, 8 days before my 47th birthday, having fun with self portraits! The local photography club has a monthly theme, and this month is "Self-Portait." This is my second attempt at taking my own picture, and I had a great time practicing! Winner of FlickrDuel contest: Versus Division: Summer

This is my first self-portrait. I tried for a long time without a prop but wasn't getting anywhere. It occurred to me that I'd probably be successful if I was holding my darling Caique parrot, Pumpkin.

Confucius (551–479 BCE) was a Chinese teacher, editor, politician, and philosopher of the Spring and Autumn Period of Chinese history. The philosophy of Confucius emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity. His followers competed successfully with many other schools during the Hundred Schools of Thought era only to be suppressed in favor of the Legalists during the Qin Dynasty. Following the victory of Han over Chu after the collapse of Qin, Confucius's thoughts received official sanction and were further developed into a system known as Confucianism. Wikipedia: Confucius
