Canadian, Eh?

Canadian, Eh?

Sunny winter walks,

pond skaters and ice fishing.

Canadian, eh?

Shimmer
Leblanc Canal
Skating practice on the pond
New Year winter sun
gleam
cross country ski tracks on Don Sparrow Lake
Things are a bit too cool at the splash park
Dog-ercise
crossing the bridge
New Year shadows are the best
These leaves never left

Serious ice fishing

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.

    1. My late brother-in-law was from Texas and when he first arrived in this area in 1975, he hated the cold. 5 years later, when he went back to Texas for a visit, he could not stand the heat. Like they say, you get used to it. Thanks for reading Susie. Allan

  7. Beautiful images. I wish for at least a little snow to make it feel like winter but it just doesn’t want to happen this year. So your images are a great way to give me some of the beautiful winter white. Thank you.
