We had 30 minutes to spare between Benji shopping and picking B up from his appointment. We thought we were going to a seafront park in Richmond, but we ended up in a Marina and Marine Services development.
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.

Well done on getting that eagle. Such a majestic creature and not one I’m accustomed to seeing just chilling in a tree!
Hi Leighton. I only wish I had been able to get sharper focus, but, I guess you can’t always get what you want. I hope to get a chance to get some more eagle shots in the new little while. Thanks for reading. Allan
Great shot of the eagle! I always find it so interesting looking at all the different boats and imaging what life is like for the people with the massive ones.
Thanks. I almost missed seeing him. As o the boats, I always heard money can’t buy happiness, but I’ll bet it can put a good down payment on it. Thanks for reading Lyssy. Allan
