Photography, Travel and Retirement
All photos taken February 5, 2022.
Not to belabour the point, but there are few places more scenic and filled with life than Lost Lagoon. No matter the weather, Lost Lagoon never disappoints. We lingered longer, before moving on.

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

I loved this post, especially the last picture of the two ducks. This is a very serene spot and a beautiful background for pictures. I also appreciated the Seinfeld reference now that I’ve watched the show. I could even hear it in Kramer’s voice 🙂

Thanks Lyssy. It was very serene on this morning, with just a few joggers out and about. Those crazy ducks are all such characters. The down stuck on the bill and the 2 moochers were our favourites. Thanks for reading. Allan

Hi Aiva. Lost Lagoon is always a treat to watch nature. This visit was just birds, but other trips may include otters and raccoons. Thanks for reading. Hope your week is going well. Allan
