In 2005 and after 31 years in the brewing industry I chose "Freedom 55" and retired early. This allowed me to follow my passion of scuba diving and travel. I moved out to Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada for 3 years and became a professional scuba instructer.  Shortly after returning from New Zealand in the fall of 2011, I have been having to deal with a couple of non diving related medical issues which has forced me to hang up the mask and fins for a spell. This should give me more time for taking pictures...lol.

"Most people can look back over the years and identify a time and place at which their lives changed significantly. Whether by accident or design, these are the moments when, because of a readiness within us and a collaboration with events occurring around us, we are forced to seriously reappraise ourselves and the conditions under which we live and to make certain choices that will affect the rest of our lives."

Nice work. This is the way I enjoy snow scenes best - sitting on my patio in 80 degree weather getting ready to head down to the beach for few photos.

Beautiful perspective and capture of this archway! So beautifully adorned with this snow, that it almost doesn't seem as cold as it is! :) Amazing how the weight seems to be tilting it, though ever so slightly! This must be an amazing sight in the summer time!

That trellis will need a bit of support before it can hold vines and fruits, I'm thinking...it makes a beautiful shot now, though!
