Beaver Pond Reflection, Grand Teton National Park, Jackson, Wyoming

It helps if we are easier to please. Lower expectations make a difference. Stepping into the day with a camera and no pictures in mind, ready to find the best compositions available given the light and weather conditions–with no stipulations regarding either lighten’s the days load and gives us a better chance of being happy with the scenes we get. I have worked in the vicinity of people who were finding things not to like about every scene. I was glad to keep my distance.

I'm retired, and still finding my way--but now, I don't have to pretend that I know what I'm doing. I retired after 40.5 years as a minister in the Presbyterian Church USA, serving churches in Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina. I graduated from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in Austin, Texas, and Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. My wife, Judy, and I have three daughters, five granddaughters, one great granddaughter, and a great grandson on the way, within about ten minutes from where we live--and are enjoying our retirement as much as we have ever enjoyed anything.
