I am a 61 year old mother of 3 in their 20s, high school language teacher - thinking of retiring in the not too distant future. Love flowers, yoga, poetry, daily journalling, hiking, observing bald eagles and hummingbirds at my island haunt. Have never been INTO photography, but want to develop some skills, particularly as I move towards retirement. Staying in the present moment has always been difficult for me, so I'm finding that along with words/poetry/journallling etc., finding moments in the day to stop and enjoy that moment is a relatively new experience for me.
