All photos taken on July 26, 2022 on our Bunchberry Meadows hike.
I know I am clutching at straws with my rather lengthy, silly title, but since we switched our walk time to an hour earlier, we have been spotting more wildlife. Hmmmm. Who knew.
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.

Always a treat to see the butterflies. Thanks for your kind words. I still struggle at times to find the right words. Keep at it. Hope all is well Bernie. Allan
Thanks Lyssy. Even my twisted mind took some time to come up with that one. Yes, earlier walks seem better as there is more wildlife out and about. Thanks for reading and commenting. Allan
Thanks Scott. All is well here. Still enjoying great autumn weather. Not much rain but plenty of sun and wind. Winter will come soon enough. Hopoe all is well with you and you are getting out in those kayaks. Allan

I thought of you today as I worked away at a simple one for 365 and it’s pictures. Bernie
