Finally a nice sunny day as we were able to hit our first of the month flea market. The place was busy.No find for us. Last night dinner at our vegetarian friends. We love going there and Mike and I are used to the food that they serve. We has risotto with asparagus,their bread,green salad. Chocolate cake.Great company.I invited them for Chinese next Saturday. As we kick off no 2 birthday celebration.Hopefully Mike sister get home from Florida on that day.She bought a sail boat from her brother and showing us photos.Looks very nice.Can hardly wait to go sailing with them. Should be fun.The boat will be docked in Maine I think. Vegetarian not all that bad.We have been starting but slowly. I know that we can do it.Maybe no fully.But pretty close there.Will see They have pasta with tomato sauce my favorites.Veg burgers are not too bad. The cheese we have.Will give it a shot. How is the day there.Doing anything fun? The photo is me as I was getting ready to head out I am a short person,does any one know how to make me look taller in photo?

Interesting life you've been living. To look taller, the photographer should take your photo from a lower angle. Tricks of the trade.

I've already had a busy day, doing laundry and cleaning the branches/limbs out of the yard after recent thunderstorms. (The kicker is I don't have any trees on my property!) I'm having lunch/reading posts now, then this afternoon it's the Cubs game, take aluminum cans to the no-kill shelter (my neighbor saves theirs for me), and who knows what adventures! How to be taller: stand next to a gnome.

I have never noticed your height in any of the pictures that you've posted until this one. Height has its advantages as well as disadvantages-just ask a tall person that one. Our son is over visiting with us.

Take a picture of yourself in front of a crazy mirror that elongates your image - about the only way I can think of. I'm glad you're having a good day.

@amadeo - Hi Alfredo - An answer to your question first - Easy enough to look taller if your photo is made with you standing behind a little tree with your head looking over the tree. Another way would be to stage your photo as the police stage "mug shots" with "75 inches" showing adjacent to the top of your head next to it. Also, "Morning" for you might well be midnight for some other Mill Otter (My Lotter). Also, you can use "perspective" in your photo to make something like a big cow look like a little toy. Easy enough. Also, for that sort of thing, you can use photo layering to manipulate apparent sizes of you or of objects in the photo. (Use a program such as Paint.net or GimPhoto. Both are easy to use for layering. -Gus-

I know you posted this over a week ago, but it just showed up as a suggested post in my sidebar. I am envious of your sweater! Also, to make someone look taller in a photo, lower the camera so it has to "look up" to take the picture.

you look good sir. so you have to enjoy walking and eating it is better for you to be happy every day
