  • Heather Nel replied

    Why thank you soooo much. Very interesting to watch this go up and wondering if we will ever get it finished in time. All the politics involved : (
    As for daughter, great excitement as she moved into her new little house today … space to spread the wings and to fly : )

    Damn. That is a great shot. Some pictures are able to be taken by pointing and shooting. Anyone can take them (well, almost). But the shots I like are the ones like this, where most would not even SEE the shot, let alone take it so well. Nice job.

  • Heather Nel replied

    Why thank you … you hit the nail on the head regarding the type of pics I like to take, the ones that others walk past : )
