Retirement years can often be declining years. However, I prefer to look at them as the advent of another fulfilling phase of life -- full of creativity, active engagement and challenge. I feel like I've gotten "my second wind". And this is the verbal journey.

Northwest Beauty
Living in the Northwest allows one to really get in touch with God's creation, from time to time. This past week has been extraordinarily clear here (until today) albeit quite chilly (north winds tend to "clean things out").
I snapped the photo above on Tuesday about noon, from our front deck, as the freshly snow-capped Olympic mountains to the west seemed almost close enough to reach out and touch. Of course I used my new digital Canon Rebel XTi. Click on the photo for a MUCH larger image that shows the beauty in significantly more detail.
Yes, we have rain. And, yes, it's chilly in the winter. But when old sol appears, there's nothing more spectacular.
