Transition . . .

Tomorrow is the last day I will ever drive into HHS as an employee, after 33 years of teaching; this thought comes with much joy and a bit of anxiety. This morning, I found an "Alumni of Hagerty High 2010" t-shirt in my mailbox--an unexpected and much appreciated surprise.

What this means is that I'll have more time to be in the field with my camera, time to develop additional photography skills, and lots of time to write in this blog!

Hopefully, I'll meet more of my Flickr photo contacts out there. Yesterday, as I stood up from getting a shot of a Needham's skimmer perched low in the grass, I heard someone shout out . . . "You just missed this caracara." And there was Terry, whose company I enjoyed for a bit of a stroll along the edge of the Orlando Wetlands.

Keep your eyes open and your aperture your priority! Wave and say "Hello" to that gray-haired lady with the Olympus; she'd love to meet you.
