A milestone and major victory for me

Using my walker, I just went outside and went down and back up my wheelchair ramp (it's about 15' long). And my feet and legs aren't even tired!

To celebrate, a brand new selfie-portrait (from a new smartphone I'm just figuring out). Photoshopped 'cause if I were to post it as is, I would be forced to call it "A Study Of The Interior Of My Nostrils".

This is similar to my walker, but mine's sparkly purple. I've entertained thoughts of starting a 'walker gang', maybe "Hell's Not Quite Yet Angels", slogan like "What?? Speak up!!"

Anyway, keep up the good work!

My specialty is fractal art, but I've been known to dabble in other forms as well. I've posted many works here over the years, and have always gotten a good response.

A sample of one of my more recent works (posted here previously)
