Share your pictures!

·by Tamera Alexander

It’s been a while since we’ve played this—

Describe the last three photos on your cell phone

(it could be a photo you’ve taken or maybe a screenshot, whatever, just the last three)

And no, I didn’t go look at my last three pics before deciding to do this. I might have chosen a different topic if I had! ; }

#1

The last picture on my cell is a screenshot I took yesterday:

Maaike van Beek, a sweet friend from the Netherlands, let me know that Colors of Truth is #3 on their Top 10 Christian Fiction this month. Fun to learn that! (And I had to look up what aantal maanden meant. Number of months.) CONGRATS to our own Lynn Austin whose If I Were You made the list too.

Thanks to all my readers in the Netherlands for reading so faithfully (special hugs to you, Maaike). Love y’all and wish Kelsey and I could come see you again. That was such a fun trip!

Here’s Lynn’s book and mine in Dutch and English. Which language cover do you like best? (Just kidding on mine, LOL)

#2

Next, the next-to-last picture on my cell:

We were on the lake Saturday night just before sunset. So pretty. But look at the image in the middle of the sun. What does that look like to you? Looks like a monster to me with its mouth wide open, ready to devour something. But that could be my sleep-deprived-and-a-tad-stressed-out-on-deadline imagination talking. : )

#3

Finally, the next-to-next-to-last pic on my phone:

This past weekend a writing loop I’m on encouraged us all to send in “real selfies” of ourselves. Just whatever you looked like at that moment, post it. So I did. Sans much makeup and with “lake hair.” It was such fun to see everyone unstaged. I was hidden away in a bedroom working on the contemporary I’m writing.

That’s it for me! Please describe YOUR last three pics!

Blessings on your Tuesday,

Tammy
