Over the past nine years, I have become disabled and have limited mobility. My career was in IT, and I still spend many hours a day on computer-related volunteer activities. To balance that, I have always done photography and, more recently, painting on my iPad in the ProCreate app. When I saw this course advertised, I decided to take it in order to add another artistic endeavor to my repertoire, one that doesn't require that I walk great distances. I found that photography greatly enhanced my observation skills and feel that creating a nature journal will bring those skills to another level.
