Unusual photo

This photo is unusual for a couple of reasons. First of all, because it's of me. I don't like to post pictures of myself. But I'm running out of photos again. Anyway, this is how I often look when I'm outdoors in the summertime. That's my gardening/mowing hat. Hey, it might not be the most attractive, but it does protect from the sun! It also protected my head from a bird dropping one day when I stepped into the machine shed. Ick.

Secondly, it's just plain weird. It looks like a double exposure or something, right? It's not. Can you figure it out?


Update:  Well, since the "unusualness" was figured out right away (see comments), I thought I might as well tell you about it. I was outside on our deck hoping for some nice hummingbird shots. Since the birds didn't come, I was just messing with the camera and noticed my reflection so snapped a silly pic. When I got it into the computer, I noticed how weird it looked with the kitchen window showing "behind" me and the evergreen trees mixed in with the trees that actually were behind me. I was a bit confused at first about the circles by my shoulder there, but then I realized it was the thermostat on the living room wall. If you look closely, you can also see a lamp "over" the birdbath. Definitely an unusual photo. :)

Looks like it's not really you but the reflection of you in a big window or glass door. Yes? I like your hat!!

You've got really clean windows to get such a nice reflection.

Yeah, Annie... it's not really me!! :) You're right, it's a reflection in our living room window. Guess I'll have to update the post, since you figured it out. ;) And thanks on the hat. I love it... not necessarily how it looks, but that it does protect, and it has a neck strap to keep it from blowing off in our winds.

But I fooled you, Ellen! ;) Those are not very clean windows. In fact, I keep thinking I should wash them so I can get decent hummingbird shots from inside the house. Thanks, anyway. :)

great picture, I thought it was another picture with glass in your living room or a mirror reflecting out. Very good picture.
