After our afternoon break from our expedition, we decided on a short walk out the resort driveway to view Pyramid Mountain and get a different angle on the lake. It was not a long walk, but we still had some energy left.
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.

The color of the water sure is stunning, reminds me of the lakes we saw in Germany. You were like real explorers on that overgrown path 🙂
It was so pristine and we were lucky to be on this little trail, so close to our bungalow. Glad not in summer or the bugs would have been accompanying us. Thanks for reading Lyssy. Allan
Not bad for a short walk eh? The water is just incredible and you packed in so many moments. How does a lone daisy happen? That squirrel seemed to have half an eye on you as he was eating. Taking no chances.
We are so glad we renewed acquaintances with this little trail. Weird things happen in the mountains. Alpine daisies grow where the conditions are right. Perhaps it was too late in the season for more to survive. I think the squirrel thought we were coming for his food. Hey, I’ve had retsina wine in Greece….I have no interest in pine cones. Thanks for reading Leighton. Allan

We took that same trail and in spots it’s like a deer trail! Great colours in those water photos.
