Retired life
Aug 25, 2018 16:11:11 #
Although my decision to move to Utah was motivated by skiing, last night and this morning brought home the many things here that make a wonderful retired life here. The first shot is an iPhone X grab (my wife's work with the better iPhone) of a Eagles tribute band (Long Run) performing outside courtesy of our HOA with the moon above and (unseen) a lightning show over the Wasatch to our left. The next are iPhone 6 shots of the sun coming up as I walk the dogs and the neighbors' flowers.

Nice set. I retired 13 years ago and have not settled on a retirement location. I have been traveling around the world for those 13 years but return to the US for a few months every one or two years. However one does it, retirement is good.

Very nice Mike! My husband (Alan) retired last year but still works a few days a month. We have always taken a couple of vacations a year but now try to travel for a week or more every month. I love it. I’m so lucky that he loves photography as much as I do. The only negative is he has no clue how to edit so I do it for him. Both our sons live on our back property with their families so they take care of the animals when we are gone. With them living here I always get to see and do things with the grandkids. Last week we took all of them to Kern River to go rafting. We had a ball. Terri

Retirement is great. I can't afford to travel the world but I do get around the good ole USA a bit. Nice set, Mike.

You have that right - life is good.

Skiing is my first love, but photography is growing on me and will probably last longer than I can ski (I turn 80 in October).

That is good news because even though the husband retires, the wife's work is still there.

The only downside I find to being retired is that I couldn't/didn't become retired 40 or so years ago. Otherwise, its all good. No, that's not accurate: being retired is all splendiferously excellent!
Oh, and the pix is good, too. The Eagles knock-off band is a perfect example of f8 and getting the hell out there. Notwithstanding actual f-stops, of course.
