THEN AND NOW

Left shot was taken by a photographer some 20 years ago when my department and others in the same Ministry were preparing an Annual report for publication. It came into my hands when I was searching for a photo of Christine’s and my wedding.
Right shot is a selfie I took with my mob a couple of months ago which I like. Today I am older and my hair is whiter but I am free as a bird to go anywhere and at anytime. I have put away all my formal cloths and I wear anything I like, always in casual cloths. Life is beautiful.
Many thanks for your visits, for your comments and for your fav's.

How times change, who would have thought that we would be wearing masks in the 21st century.

I like your thinking of being as free as a bird....i hope to be in that situation soon. Both are lovely photos.

what an interesting pairing. Freedom.......it will return. I often look at birds in the sky and wish I could fly away like they do, above the troubles and the pettiness below and stretch out my wings to the air and be free.
