Wow, I have recently returned from a trip to Northern Territory I feel so inspired by the landscape and itching to paint. I was surprised I would enjoy this area so much. I had the most incredible trip with my daughter and fell in love with a man who has in recent months handed his life over completely to God’s will. This man loves us dearly and spoilt us with the very best accommodation and
Perfect solution, Kayleen! It is just lovely! And I know it has so much meaning attached with your story behind it.
The cropped version is better - in fact you could crop it even more and have just a sliver of land.The anger monster. As you were describing it, I could feel the sensation, or at least remember what it feels like.
