Not much to tell. After working for 3 companies over 43+ years (38 years 7 months with my last company), I finally got that promotion I had waited my entire career for……retirement. I have been exploring this new career for the past 7+ years and while it is not always exciting, the chance to do what I want for myself and my family instead of what my company wants has been very fulfilling. Early on, there was a long list of projects in my “to-do” hopper and I attacked these projects with a vengeance for the first 9 months of retirement. Eventually, my brain told me that this was not what retirement was about, so it took me another 5 months before my industriousness again took over and I attacked another line of projects, this time somewhat shorter and less complicated, as well as many new projects related to the family weddings in 2016. After going hard for 6 weeks and 3 weddings, my body was telling me to relax, then the flu bug hit and as soon as that was done with me, my sciatic acted up. No rest for the wicked. In 2020 and 2021, the Covid 19 pandemic changed the whole retirement gig. I was lucky to not be still working, for sure. I enjoy photography, gardening, working with my hands, walking, cycling, skiing, travelling, reading and creating special photo and video productions obtained in my first pastime. I may never become wealthy in any of these pursuits, but I already feel I am rich in life experiences far beyond any expectation. View more posts

Mushrooms are so much fun to photograph and find on the trail. I love how they come in so many different shapes, sizes and colours. While I enjoy eating mushrooms, I’m not sure I’d ever feel confident trying to identify the edible ones in the wild.

I agree mushroom varieties are incredible. Like you, I would not trust myself to know which are edible. Thanks for reading. Allan

My in-laws used to go in the woods every year in search of morel mushrooms. I never joined the search, but I sure did enjoy the results. Fried mushrooms are delicious!

Couldn’t decide which one I like best. There really isn’t mush-room between them.
