Someone said that writing about music is like dancing about architecture. More or less the same with photography about smell. This theme didn't grab me, maybe too much of a metaphoric stretch. But if you are a CDP elder ya gotta post something. Hence, a pan of barbecue and some kind of weird lily I brought home from the supermarket.
There's something entirely different that's good about today. If the plan works (if the plan works) I will stop working full time in exactly one year. Maybe I should get one of those counter widgets.
Nice one Bob :) Good to hear you could be cutting your workload down, you work too hard, more time for the important things like grandchildren and photography :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Grace. Life is too short. Time to enjoy the things that matter most!
ReplyDeleteBarbecue is a perfect smell for St. Louis!
ReplyDeleteSo, your countdown to retirement begins! Wonderful!
The lily's quite colourful.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there are those hourglass things that count down a year. They'd have to be pretty bloody big.
I wasn't too keen on this month's theme either. Congrats(?) on your almost-retirement. :)
ReplyDeletePerfect images for the theme!
ReplyDeleteThe theme is indeed tough, but it was a good one precisely because it was't easy. I like your two interpretations and can practically smell them through the screen.
ReplyDeleteAnd . . . congratulations on the approaching end of the full-time gig. Retirement rocks.
A good entry, though!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your post. Really hope the 'plan' goes to plan :).
