49 The Last Week

This is the last week of my 49th year on planet earth.
I have never looked forward to turning 5O....
Will I start to age faster?...I don't know...but I sure can't do what I did years ago...I know I'm slowing down....
The last week of 49 and heading for waters that I hope will be good.......

Nikon D200
1/2s f/10.0 at 200.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Hi Mike,
Why did I find this shot as the first to comment on? Because it was the second I looked at! But, there is nothing to worry about in turning 50. I'm 73 and the juices still run. Why? Because my eye and trigger finger are still happy. An avid photographer can live for an eternity, because the brain stays nimble and because of the finger exercise. But now you are 54 years young, and my advice doesn't hold much credence as you have found out that turning 50 isn't all that bad!!

Don't worry, it's not so bad turning 50, honest!

50 is ok. Pretty much the same as 49. I turned 50 a few weeks after you. The best part was I had a great party.

Nice to meet you, Mike! So how does it feel now, the waters are good?
A nice SP, V

Mike, you don't look even close to 20th boy, DON'T age, or age like wine ! Gals will chase you down, no kiddin' ! I also know I shall never turn 50, so my full support is guaranteed to achieve an eternity !!!

You will be even better at 50! Take it from one who knows! Unfortunately, we can't change the trek of time but we can make the best out of each day! Happy last week of 49 and look forward to your golden years! Each day is a blessing from above!
