All photos taken on December , 3, 2023, near the Stanley Park Teahouse.
Every time we walked this way, we kept hoping that the resident bald eagles would make an appearance. Well, it seems today was our lucky day. We heard the shrill cries from above and I managed one distant flight shot, before losing them in the trees. But, eagle eye Patty was with me and she soon spotted where they had landed.
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.

Wow those are some great shots! I’ve never seen two like that before.
This pair seemed to be instructing the smaller pair on the nuances of being an eagle. You gotta help the kids learn the tactics. Thanks for reading Lyssy. Allan
I left you a comment on your actual site, instead of the reader. It said my post went into moderation, but they a pop up asked me to sign up for photo something? Strange.
