All photos taken on October 10, 2022 on our Lighthouse Loop walk.
It was such a grey foggy day, that any bright colours and shapes became more visible. This is a post of what I saw on that walk and what gallery title I would give them.
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.

Very clever titles! I think life’s all about finding color in the grey.
Thanks Lyssy. The solitary coloured leaves were unusual. What made them change colour while everything around stayed green. Individuality? Thanks for reading. Allan
Those spots of colour were odd, as if one leaf suddenly decided to shout Hey, look at me. Definitely stand outs on a foggy day. I liked Donovan’s song style and always got a kick out of his song Intergalactic Laxative. I imagine he had a good sense of humour or perhaps just some good Whacky Tabacky. Thanks for reading Leighton. Allan
Nothing compares to nature’s beauty and it’s quite amazing how nature has a way of calling us back, however far we may stray. Thanks for sharing. I hope all is well 🙂 Aiva xx
These single bright leaves made me wondered what had happened to make them stand out so brightly, even in their death. Nature is strange and wonderful. Hope your day is going well. All is well here. Allan

Lovely photos Allan, such detail, depth and colour throughout. I used to listen to Donovan as a kid, Mellow Yellow always used to make me smile.

I don’t want to admit how long it took me to get the DK one… Great pops of colour and great imagination for the titles!

Ha Ha. Yes, sometimes the obvious ones escape me too. That exercise of naming the shots is always fun. Thanks for reading. Allan
