Well, a year ago (or so), I had these:

To further the "Selfie" self reflection, I created an homage to the movement of Superflat made famous by Takashi Murakami.  In addition, I also have a #SelfieSunday posting from last week:

Well, that is it for now, but I am hoping to get more great shots while off on my long weekend road trip with the boyfriend! =)
