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.

Certainly not subdued but delightful twilight photos to brighten up a dull November day
Thanks Marion. Those gold dragonflies made all seem bright. It is pretty bleak here right now with snow and howling winds. We could all use a bit of warmth. Thanks for reading. Allan
Such wonderful photos, Allan 🙂 The presence of the sun directly over the lake with its pure golden colour reflected in the lake makes it a truly beautiful experience 🙂
Thanks Lyssy. Tautograms are good practice for my old brain, to see how far I can carry it and still make sense….almost. It was still a nice evening down by the lake. Happy Wednesday. Allan

That is some impressive alliteration you used! You did a great job capturing the beauty even under not ideal conditions.
