Living Small – Rosy Glow

These photos were taken May 9/20.

Rosy Glow

Dawn arrived early to kiss this new day,

while Mother Nature put on her display.

Soft rosy clouds brush past bright skies of blue,

giving the world a most delicate hue.

Western horizon with bright moon so full,

shows this small world is anything but dull.

I rued not the early hour I arose,

when all this beauty, my view did compose.

rosy May morn
Western sky is on fire
full moon
scattered remnants
like a fine painting

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. Hi Bernie. Thanks for reading and your kind comments. Definitely tough at the best of times to be up for sunrise at this time of year. Insomnia only complicates things, I am sure. Stay well. ALlan

  3. Beautiful photos and beautiful poem, Allan, especially the full moon. I once read that full moon tends to bring out our inner animal. There’s Sagittarius full moon and lunar eclipse on the 5th of Juna, which is tomorrow and it may carry with them some intense energy. One of the best ways to survive its intense vibe is to stay creative. Thanks for sharing and have a good day 😀 Aiva

    1. Strange things happen under a full moon for sure. The moon definitely pulls on the Earth and its inhabitants. Will try to stay creative. Lots of photos and videos of the mountains will help with that. Stay well Aiva. Allan

      2. We are. We hiked another 16 k today along a mostly flat trail by the river. Lots of wildflowers, deer, elk and this morning the birds put on quite the show. Will share them all once I get the curation and posts done. Thanks for reading Aiva. Allan
