I will begin writing this post earlier than I have for a while. A few things are smoothing out in my life, yet things can still get hectic. The plan is for semi-retirement soon and then Full retirement next spring.
Voy a empezar a escribir este post antes de lo que lo he hecho durante un tiempo. Algunas cosas se están suavizando en mi vida, pero todavía puedo estar muy ocupado. El plan es para semi-retiro pronto y luego jubilación completa la próxima primavera.
I will continue to update you as I move toward my semi-retirement, which should lead to more blogging. I may have to focus my efforts on blogging on the platforms where I get the most comments and the platforms where I get the best support. For now, I will publish posts as I can and see how the response is. As most realize, it takes time to pull together a post. I want to make sure I am spending that time wisely.
Seguiré informándoles a medida que avance hacia mi semi-retiro, lo que me llevará a escribir más en el blog. Puede que tenga que centrar mis esfuerzos en bloguear en las plataformas en las que recibo más comentarios y en las que recibo más apoyo. Por ahora, publicaré posts a medida que pueda y veré cómo es la respuesta. Como la mayoría sabe, lleva tiempo preparar un post para publicarlo. Quiero emplear ese tiempo sabiamente.
As for the curation projects, they have been running for quite some time. As long as my curators continue with me, I should be able to keep those projects going.
En cuanto a los proyectos de curation, llevan bastante tiempo en marcha. Debería poder mantenerlos mientras mis curators sigan conmigo.
My cover photo is of an Azalea bush growing when we bought this place 20 years ago. It has been doing better these past few years. I was able to capture a few raindrops in the photo. The following photo is the same bush but a little different view.
Mi foto de portada es de un arbusto de azalea que crecía cuando compramos esta casa hace 20 años. En los últimos años ha mejorado. Pude capturar algunas gotas de lluvia en la foto. La siguiente foto es el mismo arbusto, pero una vista un poco diferente.
The following two photographs are of some Chicks & Hens, which are a succulent plant. They do not need a lot of care to thrive. I started with just a couple, and they continue to spread. Some have even rooted in some wood.
Las dos fotografías siguientes son de unas Chicks & Hens, que son una planta suculenta. No necesitan muchos cuidados para prosperar. Empecé con sólo un par y siguen extendiéndose. Algunas incluso han echado raíces en la madera.
The next photo is of a Phlox flower. I am unsure where I took this photograph because I have not planted phlox in many years. I love the color blend. I may have to see about planting Phlox next spring.
La siguiente foto es de una flor de Phlox. No estoy seguro de dónde tomé esta fotografía porque no he plantado phlox en muchos años. Me encanta la mezcla de colores. Puede que tenga que plantar Phlox la próxima primavera.
My last flower is one of my Pansies. I bought a mixture of them in the spring; this one is the only one without the typical "face."
Mi última flor es uno de mis pensamientos. Compré una mezcla de ellas en primavera; ésta es la única que no tiene la típica "cara".
I use a Canon EOS Rebel T5 for most photographs except where noted.
Estoy usando una Canon EOS Rebel T5 para la mayoría de las fotografías, excepto donde se indique.
Espero que su plan para la jubilación tenga mucho éxito y pueda realizar todas sus actividades. Cuente con nosotros para qué los trail de curación continúen puesto que es de gran apoyo para con nosotros
Muchas gracias
Geniales cómo siempre las fotografías de las flores qué nos comparte amigo. Espero que sus planes para el retiro se hagan realidad
Muchas gracias. Me alegro de que le hayan gustado las fotos de flores.
Qué flores tan hermosas. Has convertido la belleza en un texto. La naturaleza nos sorprende.
Muchas gracias.
Flowers are free happiness, if you are feeling sad or bored, just go out to the garden and see how beautiful the world is, thanks for sharing these beautiful flowers with us.
Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed the flowers
Congratulations
Azalea looks more bright and fresh when it comes to color. Loved the shots
Thank you very much.
Thank you for sharing your plans, updates, and these breathtaking photographs. All the shots look really very beautiful. Hope you're having a great day as well
You are welcome, and thank you for your appreciation of my photographs.
Hope you're doing good sir.
You always share beautiful shots of amazing flowers. Each photo that you have shared here in this post is lovely.
Thank you very much. I am doing better than I have for a long time.
Beautiful flower collection.
Thanks
Thank you
Each and every photo is clicked beautifully that turns out to be amazing. Your connect to the nature is just wow. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much.
I am very glad that things are flowing much better in your life. And it is as you say, it is quite difficult to edit a post in my case I do craft tutorials can imagine the time I invest in it, because it is from developing the craft, take pictures, write, edit cover photos and collages, make separators and banners. But it doesn't weigh me down, what is nice is that they read our publications and interact with them, in the same way we should do it with others, everyone invests time and effort. I hope you make the best decision.
In the healing project in my case I am at your service if you need help, my niche is art and crafts, I want to develop more and more in Hive and that could be a nice advance.
Your pictures are beautiful, what nice flowers you have at home and how well cared for they are even though you say they are 20 years old in your garden. What nice succulents I have some very small ones, but I can't have more because I live in a small apartment and I don't have a garden unfortunately.
The other pictures are beautiful, spectacular flowers, thank you for sharing them with us.
Many blessings and I hope to read it more often, although sometimes it is difficult given all the great content that is in hive and one gets lost among so many wonderful publications.
Have a beautiful day Sir @r2cornell 🌺🌈
Thank you very much. Doing tutorials is a lot of formatting and other work. When I retire, I will have time to be in my wood-shop and would consider a somewhat step-by-step process, and I know that is a lot of work. The same with my indoor gardening techniques. Because of the time element, I know it will involve much more work.

Thank you
Flowers are one of the natural beauty of nature and given by the creator. You have done some amazing flower photography that looks amazing.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
You have done the right thing, seeing the flowers, touching them, smelling them makes a person feel better. I always like to see natural beauty.
Thank you very much
Most welcome dear.
I believe you are having a great day and by the way this is really a beautiful flower
Thank you. Yes my days are better as time moves on
No matter how long someone work he or she must retire when the time is right
So I guess it about time you so the same thing
Meanwhile hive will give you the best rest because you can post anytime you like.
It so good to see your beautiful caption again
I love flowers so much especially yellow flowers.
Nice shot sir 😊
Thank you very much. I have planned for retirement for some time and always thought blogging would be one of the things I would do, along with photography. You are correct that I can blog anytime. It should be a good activity for me
Yes it will definitely be a good activity for you without no stress
I wish you all the best sir and make sure to rest very well too
I like all kinds of flowers, especially red flowers. Thank you, for sharing the beauty and hopefully healthy always, Sir.
You are welcome and thank you for visiting.
