After working for 43+ years (38 years 7 months with my last company), I finally got that promotion I waited my entire career for……retirement.
I have been exploring this new career for the past 3+ 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 wanted me to do has been rewarding.
While I still miss the social aspect of working with a team of great people, I have managed to keep in touch with many from my former team and I have many friends and family members who now fulfill this part of my life. Now that my Patty has retired, we are able to spend more time in pursuits and with people who are near and dear to us.
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 not become wealthy in any of these pursuits, but I already feel I am rich in life experiences far beyond any expectation.

Isn’t it interesting how they swim in unison just like they fly

Always making way for the ones behind. Geese and birds in general are so smart. Thanks for reading Bernie. Allan

Thanks Lynette. Back at the lake recently and it is hard to tell the goose chicks from the adults. Sigh, they grow up so fast and then they fly away. Thanks for reading. Allan

And of course there will be a baby boom after the world wide lockdown!!

That is what they thought at first, but then they began wondering if all that time together could actually push couples apart. I know the maternity wards at Edmonton hospitals are seeing some pretty high numbers right now, but that more than likely relates to winter snuggles. Thanks for reading Bernie. Allan

Looks like a good population of geese. I guess I might be seeing them in a few months in Texas. Nice photos.

I love how awkwardly adorable the little chicks are. As always, I really enjoyed the captions.

Sometimes I look at the chicks and they appear like human toddlers. When they get tired, they just sit down, when they are close to a sibling, they take a peck at them and so on. It has just got to be a trick to even walk with a body shaped like that. Thanks for reading and commenting. Hope all is well. Allan

Aren’t they the cutest? I once read that little duckling have this special oil on its dawn and that’s what makes them waterfroof. If you ever touch them, the oil gets on your hands, lessoning the waterproofing of the duckling and causing it to become waterlogged when it returns to the water. Thanks for sharing and have a good day 😀 Aiva

I love watching birds, especially baby water birds. They are so helpless at first, but soon get it all figured out. Humans could take a lesson from that. Thanks for reading and commenting Aiva. Allan
