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.

Hi Allan, I think the link is dead or the post is not yet live? I can’t see it here or on the new site but maybe it is just me being dim! Take care, Colin
Ah Allan, this is a masterclass in light and shade. The rainbow shots dazzle of course and I love how rich the colours are in the buildings on the cover shot. Having said all that, the final photo is my favourite. Glad you took a last look.
The light was my friend that evening. The rainbow and last look shots show how important it is to turn around from time to time. You never know what you might be missing. Thanks for reading Leighton. Allan
Hi Bernie. We almost missed the rainbow, until we turned around. We were too bust running from the wind and rain. Thanks for reading. Have a great weekend. Cold and snowy here for the next week. Allan
What a beautiful arc of colour, Allan! They say that when you see a rainbow, it usually means that good things are coming around. Thanks for sharing and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx
We were lucky to be in position to see the entire arc. And the next day was gorgeous, so the promise of luck was fulfilled. Thanks for reading Aiva. Hope your weekend is going well and you are all eagerly anticipating Christmas. Allan
