I took early retirement a few years ago and am enjoying every minute!! I am out with my camera as often as possible. It would be great to make some money at photography but I do not want to do portraits or weddings. I have been concentrating on wildlife this last year as this is my real love. Macro is my other love and I will be spending the winter trying to develop my skills - I can't wait for Spring when I can get out and hopefully capture lots of insects.

This year (2011) I have upgraded to a Canon 5D mark11 and my latest purchase has been a Canon macro twinlite flash which will hopefully help me to capture all those little critters!! LOL!!
