No better way to end a fun day
with family dear on holiday,
than watching nature’s fiery display.
This never gets old, I have to say!
Road Trip – This Never Gets Old
Published by kagould17
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

Nothing beats a good sunset photo, Allan 🥰 as there’s something stirring about seeing that big golden orb sink below horizon, painting the sky a million shades ☺️ thanks for sharing and have a good day ☺️ Aiva

Can you imagine the amazement early humans must have had watching the sun disappear and reappear each day? No wonder they looked on it as a good omen. SADN (Sitting Around Doing Nothing) is even better when nature puts on a good show. Thanks for reading and have a great week. Allan

Beautiful pictures as usual, I love the sliver of moon. Sunsets never get old, especially if you have a great comfy spot to watch them from.

Thanks Linda. Winter, on the other hand, can get old pretty quick. Back in the deep freeze here for a bit. Ahhh, spring on the installment plan. Thanks for reading Allan
