New Gallery

Today at http://chuckables.artistwebsites.com/index.html I opened a new gallery titled ‘Convalescent Leave’. This is where between September 2nd and October 14th, 2015, I had taken FLMA from work after a double hernia operation. During the six weeks of taking it easy, I decided as an amateur photographer I would hone my skills a little bit. My Convalescent Leave Gallery displays some of my works while recovering. Enjoy and happy hiking.

Back in the Saddle

It has been an interesting time since last writing and we won’t get into that; instead, I will focus on the most current of events. One the hardest things in my day to day life, is having to work full time, anywhere from 8 to 10 hours a day, in order to make ends meet. And so, any desires to do anything above and beyond being lazy during my time off is placed on the back burner.



Almost six weeks ago, I had surgery for a double hernia. Go figure; I thought I was in pretty decent shape. But evidently, I’m am getting old and falling apart celebrating my 57th birthday September 12th. Having said that, I have been on FLMA and will return back to work this coming Thursday. What have I done with my time of recovery, beyond not lifting heavy objects, my daily naps, excessive snacking, and a couple of short hikes.



Well, I took advantage of the time to learn more about photography. And it is my hope that once I get back into the daily grind I will continue with my treks to show how wonderful nature all around us is. As well as, other interests.
