Not really.  I do occasionally enjoy getting out and taking photos Do you like photographing anything in particular like birds, trees, etc? I like to capture waterfalls and capturing people on the trails having a good time. No but I will  add it to my list of places to visit.  I plan on traveling after i retire. No but we plan on getting an RV and traveling around the US visiting parks and site seeing. I am a software engineer and I have been doing that for 25 years.  
I love taking photos as well, mostly nature pictures. Well I love to travel, so I mostly like to capture trees, moutain ranges and wildlife around the world. What is your favorite thing to photograph? Have you ever been to Shenandoah National Park? There are many waterfalls and always lots of tourists. Oh how nice for you, anywhere is particular you have in mind as a first stop? What a dream come true! If you don't mind my asking, what career are you retiring form? Oh I see, well congratulations! You must be very excited!

I'm sorry. That must be difficult. I am glad you have pictures to hold on to though. Oh I meant wild birds, and squirrels etc, I just think of them as mine :) I have heard water is expensive in California. Well , they are worth it if you can jump straight up five or six feet. That will be a nice change of pace! Do you have plans for retirement? Well, I hope you have a lot of fun in contact with nature Wow, that's quite the career leap! What made you do it?
TV is also fun. I have many lenses I use for my camera to help focus the light during the right time. I like to take individual still photographs of flowers. You should try Ricketts Glen in Pennsylvania.  It has 24 waterfalls! You should try Ricketts Glen in Pennsylvania.  It has 24 waterfalls! Can you purchase some sort of an entry pass for all the parks from the national park service? I see! Do you work on mainly PC games, console games, or both?
