Being only three weeks away from finishing this project is quite a relief. If you are one of my few readers who are not yet retired, just know that if you think that once you retire, you will have a lot of “spare time,” that’s a fallacy. At least I don’t. When I started this project, my thought was, “I’m retired, I will have plenty of time.” But to be honest, I have never been so busy. I am constantly asking myself how I managed to do this project the other three times and run a business. I still don’t know.
Here’s this week’s batch of photos. I think the last sunny day was my favorite of this week. We’re about to experience a whole week of rain, which they’re now calling an atmospheric river. You know those. It used to be just a storm, but now it moves so slowly and dumps so much water, it’s like a river.
- Yesterday, we decorated the inside of the house. We have quite a collection of Santas that we’ve gathered over the years. This guy is one of my favorites just because he’s a little quirky—and he makes me smile. I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for Santa, having played him numerous times over the years. I even used to own my own suit.
- Here’s a landscape for you. I went out for my long walk today (6.7 miles), and this was the best view I saw. It’s not way out in the country; it’s across the street from a very busy elementary school. It was a great day, but it was cold and foggy in the morning, finally clearing up in the afternoon.
- Saw this “monster” tree in Bellevue today. Took some other shots, but Kathleen and I decided this one was the most interesting. If you look at it for a while, you’ll see all kinds of funny stuff. Maybe the one on top looks like a monkey? Not sure, but I like it.
A good photograph is knowing where to stand. – Ansel Adams
