Trying Once Again!!

Dear folks;
I wrote about my European trip, and then crashed and burned... I stopped writing for no other reason than procrastination. Well, here I am again, apologetic and soulful. I don't promise to not miss a day, to forget to write or be here at all times, but I do promise to do my best...MY BEST...to keep up this blog on a regular basis. No New Years resolutions to set my life by, and then break.
Why is it that we must always make promises to do this, or that, and then we disappoint someone or other when we don't accomplish what we promised. Does that mean we are not trustworthy, or just incapable of living up to our promises, or of other peoples' expectations of us?
As of January 1st, 2012, I am retired from working for someone else. I won't be like many other people who retire and then travel to their heart's content, but, I will travel about the Yukon and close areas doing my photography of local events, the environment and the animals as they appear.
As I write this blog tonight, I am thinking about my future endeavours. It's just possible that I may be able to do my photography with enough skill to have people purchase my photographs as souvenirs to support myself with my craft. I love the world around me and it is my goal to portray it with a passion that stands out to other people.
Another of the activities which I will attempt is the challenge of two things, both in the health issues which I have - losing weight and quit smoking.
But this is the New Year! No chicken hatching before it's time.
I have included a few photos which have been taken this past year. I won't bore you with any from my European trip, but instead hope to wow! you with some new Yukon and Alaska ones which brought me great pleasure, mainly the animals and views of this beautiful territory. I hope you will be impressed enough to plan a visit to our wonderful part of the continent.
