All photos taken on August 2, 2022, during our weekly forest walk.
In an attempt to keep the Bunchberry posts fresh, I adjust the format from time to time. In this one, I have assigned a turn of phrase, quote or title to give them a name they might have if they were in an art gallery. Some fit, some are iffy and some are a real stretch. Here we go.
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.

Love this format, very creative! That moose picture is pretty epic too, but maybe just another day in Canada (just kidding!).
Thanks Lyssy. It was a gallery kind of day and moose calves were a bonus. We know that the reserve has 3-4 moose, but this was our first sighting. Coincidentally, that is why it is closed to the public during September and August. The rut is on and maybe next year, there will be even more moose. Thanks for reading. Happy Thursday. Allan
A-moose-ing stuff Allan. Another fine look at Bunchberry Meadows, which feels so familiar to me now. Great wordplay, as always, and super impressed that you even managed to squeeze in a bit of Emily Dickinson. Fuzzy Logic is the brilliant debut album by the experimental British rock band Super Furry Animals, but I’m assuming that wasn’t the reference you were going for ha ha.
Thanks Leighton. We have not been to Bunch since the end of August, as it is still closed for the rut. Thanks for your compliments. As to Fuzzy Logic, that is a reference to how my brain works, some days it is fuzzier than others. I’ll have to look up the album now. Many thanks for reading and commenting. Allan

It was easy to picture what you were trying to have us see… I’ll show myself out 🙂
I like this format. Fun with puns… I can capture that humor 😉

Thanks Scott. It does me good to exercise my inner punster. I am a groan man after all. Thanks for reading. Allan
