So when your retired and just turned 83, it’s time to celebrate. Glad I had a fast lens so I could capture all the action as we celebrated dads special day. So glad for the time with them on his birthday. Now he gets to enjoy more of his retirement while I start another trip today.

Your dad looks great! And that is a very nice candid portrait. How lovely that you got to spend precious time with him on his special day.

A few years ago I decided to try and always visit them on their birthdays. Think I’ve missed one Ove the past 5 years.

Monte, it’s a good thing that you had the fast lens and high shutter speed! 🙂 Glad that you could visit and share his special day. He looks very cool and dapper in his shades … we know that this photo was not taken in Colorado! LOL

Nope, not taken in Colorado. 🙂 My dad takes good care of himself and even those around him, that altruistic attitude. He’s also got some good genes.

Hey, at 83 he can do whatever he wants at whatever speed he wants — he’s earned the right. Dang, he looks great for his age and you’d better hope you got some of his genes. 🙂

Dad takes pride in taking good care of himself and it shows. And, yes I hope I do have some of his genes along with his fortitude.
