My Attempt Taking Artistic Pictures

A couple of weeks ago I decided I wanted to try to improve my skills at taking pictures. I have never taken really great pictures and this is so upsetting to me because I love to scrapbook. I know that if my pictures improve, my scrapbooking pages will also improve. I took probably 200 pictures in our front and back yard mostly of the plants and flowers that we have. These pictures are the few that I think turned out the best. I hope you enjoy them!




This last picture is of our orange tree. We already have 2 lime trees and we thought this would make a great addition to our garden.

My New Found Independence!

For those of you that don't know...I have been trying to go through all of the steps to get hand controls installed on our SUV. On the 13 March I received the approval to install the hand controls. After that, we had to get my doctor to fill out some paperwork and that resulted in my new updated licence that says I can only drive with hand controls. I got the new licence a couple of weeks ago. We took our car to Dallas Spears Metal Works here in Alice Springs on Wednesday night and we got it back on Saturday the 12 with the hand controls installed. Finally on the 14Th I had to get the controls approved by a TAC inspector and after that we went to the Motor Vehicle Registry for their final inspection and to update the registration. Well, after all of that...I now have the ability to drive!!!

Check out the couple pics I have and the little video if I can get it to post. These were taken before the final inspections on last Saturday the 12. That's why all I did was back out of the driveway!!
