Whispers of Spring |
I've been enjoying using my macro lens. I love spring it's a great time to take close up photographs. I'm counting down the days to it warming up.
Friday night we went to see a firework display. It was so beautiful.
It's only two weeks till we go on a much needed break to Queensland ...
I was saying to Paul the other day I am so tired, I think I need long service leave since I've been home educating for 16 years ... Then I remembered that God has given me leave this year. As a family the three of us have been blessed with tickets to go and visit Paul's family in South Africa so we are counting down the days till we fly to South Africa
