I feel for her, and you! I can't imagine anyone saying something like that to you as you are so talented. It seems you have the last laugh. Thanks for the microfiction, and for sharing a part of yourself in the process.
ReplyDeleteIf you erred in Mr. Linky, go back and enter another link (corrected) and leave a comment for Grandma so she can delete the original erroneous link. :) It's very easy to do.
Thanks Lisa - regrettably one of my talents last year was to actually run over my instructor on my very first lesson, having discovered that my sense of balance is minimal. But generally I can keep a camera level.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Mr.Linky tip - I'll try and improve it!
One always has too much to think about when a camera is involved.
ReplyDeleteCamera shake is not as bad as bike shake! LOL
ReplyDeleteAww, it's so hard to keep one's hand steady ;-)
ReplyDeleteBikes and cameras can both be tricky for a lot of us! Great piece of microfiction...:)
ReplyDeleteI could really relate to this one. My balance is far too poor for either photos or bikes now. Excellent microfiction. Hope you'll continue to join in.

I don't do bikes - far too wobbly!
