Retired

Just Black and White

The passed by this structures regularly. They are in my neighborhood. I believe I finally captured one picture that I like!

Just Green

Alcatraz Collection

Shadow, My Friend

The Natives

I took my camera for a walk around the neighborhood. Beauty is everywhere!

The Fence and Its Shadow

Some pictures are better in black and white. This is one of them.

The Blue Runner

I was looking for a great picture of my favorite golf course in town, UNM North. Instead, I found this!

Quick

This was a quick shot at the roses.

A surprisingly beauty.

Come

Looking

We all love to look forward, whether it is "when I grow up" or "when I retire" or "when I win the lottery". The hard fact is, those times may not come.

The Southwest

With more than 100 pictures taken,

these would be my top 5.

We live in such a beautiful world.

To capture a moment in life, a moment in the past,

such satisfaction!

Deer Family

It is the right timing.
Part 2.
Who would expect to see deers in the school campus?
I do not have my camera,
but I had my iphone.

Purple Tree

It must be the right timing.

I have been to Alhambra, California many times.

This is the first time to see so many "purple trees".

Plus, a round of golf approved by my wife.

Such heaven :)

Blind Shot

They were so far away,

I took the chance,

as in life,

it was worth it.

Mesmerized

There is endless beauty in this piece of wood,

lines formed through the history of this land,

telling us a story of survival,

of hope,

of wisdom,

we can learn,

only if we stop,

and touch,

and feel.

An Afternoon by the Pond

Aren't we the same?

Looking for a family to belong to,

looking for a mate to talk to.

The Power of Now

We all seek enlightenment,

to be like Buhhda one day,

to end the suffering while living in this world.

Eckhart Tolle said:

"The secret is to die before dying."

...

Letting go of our attachments,

as if we were dead.

...

A question to ask today:

"Does this matter if I were to die tonight?"

...

Staying at the present.

The Now.

There is no problem.

No problem, no fear.

Cloudy Day

Even a clown

will have

a

cloudy day...

Reflection

Every challenge in life

is a clear reflection of

who we are,

how we think,

how we respond,

how we react,

how we fear,

how we regroup,

how we plan,

how we proscastinate,

how we fight,

how we give up,

how we conquer and celebrate!
