Relaxed Mum

By: Debbie44 Comments

Relaxed Mum

It’s not often I get a nice relaxed photo of my Mum. When she sees a camera pointed in her direction she can’t seem to help posing. If I want to get a natural looking photo of her I have to be quick and get it before she notices.

Last week, on our Sunday walk I managed to get a photo of a relaxed Mum, although it was close. The next two photos I took she was posing big time. As you can see from the photo I was stood some distance away from her, and she still managed to sense as I raised the camera!

Even from a distance of twenty meters, my Mum can sense a camera pointed in her direction!

About Debbie

Hello, I’m Debbie (also known as ChirpyDebs) and thank you for stopping by my little corner of the internet. Now the children are all grown up I’m happiest when I’m out with the dogs or hiking a trail with my camera in hand. My blog is where I like to share photographs showing the wild beauty of Zakynthos that most people don’t get to see, recipes and other seemingly random things that come to mind.

      Hi Louise, The weather was summer like that day. I think Mum is in the minority, that's for sure. Last Sunday she was jumping up and down trying to attract my attention to take a photo! #nightmare Thank you for dropping by. xx

      Hi Nat, I'm so sure. It is s hard to get a natural photo of her, but then again, I suppose it is a natural photo of her! Thank you for dropping by. xx

      Hi Annette, haha, you know my Mum then? Her nickname isn't the Yorkshire terrier for nothing. She's maybe small, but she'll take on the world if she could. Getting a candid shot of my Mum is not easy. Thank you for stopping by. xx

      Hi Cheryl. she's certainly got more relaxed as she's got older. Which has been nice to see. Hopefully, that happens to us all as we get older! Thank you for stopping by. xx

      Hi Lisa, she does, doesn't she? We are lucky and the island is really beautiful in winter (when it's quiet). Living here in winter isn't for everyone though, especially if you enjoy a social life. It is very, very quiet here and shopping is limited, I don't like shopping but even I'm grateful for the internet! Thank you for stopping by. xx

      Hi Jane, she can be. She'd do anything for anyone, just don't cross her! It's the blue of a Greek sky, it's hard to beat. Thank you for dropping by. xx

      Hi Emma, thank you. It also goes to show that my Dad and son have no camera radar as they are also in the photo and seem totally unaware. Thank you for stopping by. xx

      Hi Sandee, I have a sneaky suspicion that she does it to wind me up, as I swear I can see a naughty glint in her eye! Thank you for stopping by. xx

      Hi Kim, she is a proper character. The weather was beautiful that day, it's been very different this past week and there are more storms forecast. Thank you for dropping by. xx

    Great photo of your Mum. I can detect a camera pointed at me from a distance, but I don't pose, I get out of view as I hate having my photo taken. As I've got older though, and lost my Mum, I realise how important it is for my kids to have lots of photos of me, so I try not to hide any more. (plus its more difficult to get out of shot quickly when you can barely move!) xx #mysundayphoto Anne recently posted...My Sunday Photo - 12th November 2017My Profile

      Hi Anne, you sound like me, although there was a sneaky shot taken of me shared on FB last week. I'm much more comfortable behind the camera. You are at a disadvantage for getting out of shot, but as you say at least your family will have some nice photos of you. Thank you for dropping by. xx

      Hi Fiona, you could be onto something, although my Dad and son are both in the photo and don't seem to notice. I've just been taking some photos of flowers up at their house and Mum was there edging here way into the photos! She is cute though. Thank you for stopping by. xx

      Hi Sarah, my Mum is the only poser in the family. The rest of us tend to hide when we can. Your daughter and my Mum would make a right pair! Thank you for stopping by. xx

      Hi John, I think she was too, today I was in their garden taking some photos and she couldn't help herself. She loves being in front of the camera. The rest of us run for the hills when one is pointed our way. Thank you for stopping by. xx

    Lovely photo! And what beautiful weather you’re still having, My mum is exactly the same. She also hates having her photo taken so I have to be quick. My dad loves to pose but I have to tell him to tone it down because he looks like a serial killer. Hehe. #MySundayPhoto Tara recently posted...My Sunday Photo – November 12th, 2017.My Profile

      Hi Tara, thank you. That was last weeks walk. Today's will not be so bright as the weather is grey and windy, but we shall see. Don't get me wrong, Mum loves having her photo taken, which is why she's a pain to photograph. The rest of us in the family hide at the sight of a camera, but Mum starts to throw poses like a right plonker! No serial killer look though. Thank you for stopping by. xx
