How do you like my new Avatar? Maybe I should do a self-portrait in this style and use it for my profile picture?! :) xx {{O}}
P.S. I discovered a couple of places tonight via an art magazine that we MUST visit while we're in London! One's great for inspiration and photography and the other is a fantastic exhibition!
I recently have taken some shots of Spring Flowers in Upstate NY. However, this is the only one I have posted so far. The other photos in this album I took while in Long Island.
