My life feels so derailed and it's not getting better. I do lots of praying and lots of crying. Been burning so much sage the smell is in my hair.
I said to friends that I feel like I'm at a rodeo I'm not at all familiar with, after really I feel like I'm in a boxing match with the heavy weight champion of the world and I'm getting the shit beat out of me.
I feel like I've aged so much in a matter of days, shaved years off my life and I did everything right. I was adherent to care, never missed a dose of medication, unless I didn't have access to it and this time not having access to it could very well end my life or I'm going to have to deal with other medical things I've never dealt with before and have no history of in my family.
The only thing this has to do with Covid is that everything cannot be focused on it. Especially when millions are already battling other conditions.
Thomas a becket church
St Thomas à Becket Church in Fairfield stands alone in a field on the Marsh, surrounded by water courses and sheep. A causeway was built in 1913, and until then the church was more often than not surrounded by water during the winter and spring.
The church is dedicated to St Thomas à Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1162 until his murder in 1170.
Legend has it that the Archbishop was journeying across the dangerous Romney Marsh, when he fell into one of the many ditches. He prayed to St.Thomas, as he came up for the second time, for a miracle to save him from a watery death. Just in time a farmer arrived to save him, and in gratitude the Archbishop had the little church built and dedicated to St Thomas a Becket.

Corona beer in rural isolation. Apparently Corona beer sales are off as people shun it due to the name it shares with the dreaded Corona Virus. When news of the virus started to emerge I said to my hubby, I'll bet this is going to hurt Corona beer. People are so predictable and silly.
Luckily, I drink red wine. Can you imagine if they had named this the Cabernet Virus, Yikes!
We're Here is visiting the Corona Virus Group, yes there really is such a group. Flickr has it all.
Our Daily Challenge is seeking out edges and borders
This is the church for the Icelandic coastal town of Vik, nestled between the snow-capped hills around it.
I drive past this beautiful tree every day , I had to finally take a photo of it.
Shot with my iPhone 6s plus
After getting slightly freaked at the isolation at the other end of the Skeidara bridge a little further on we had to stop yet again and shoot Mt Lomagnupur. The rain clouds, looming peak and the straight road meant standing in the middle of the main road yet again. Although by now I was more casual about it as we had not passed anything for so long I was beginning to think we were the only people between here and Reykjavik.

These trees at Buttermere are well frequented subject to photographers. The aim of the game is developing a sense of separation of the subject from Haystacks behind. This is exactly what the light does on a late summer evening. A backlit morning also works well here, a shot I am yet to capture. So this will have to do for now!
2018 Lakes Wall Calendar now available:
The spring tides is one of the few occassions to get the lighthouse in the water. High tide was around 8.30am. I originally headed for Marine Lake, in Weston-super-mare, but the walkway was entirely under water. I decided to head down to Burnham.
When I arrived, the tide was just turning. A sea mist was in the air. I planned a 10-stop image and was not disappointed. The Lee Big Stopper has a blue cast, but rather than convert to mono, I decided to keep it. I thought a pano crop would give a feelng of isolation.
Let me know when the pandemic is over

The We're Here! gang is visiting the Isolation group today.
Created using an old pic of me, and several screen grabs from various webcams around Vancouver this morning.
Re isolation: to tell you the truth, this is my happy place. The house is clean from top to bottom, and no one is going in or out. I am in a bubble, and there are endless projects to keep me busy.
I grew up in isolation -- on a tiny island, long before the internet. This feels familiar. Cozy, even.
Fred is so busy with his archeology classes (online now) that he doesn't feel deprived of human contact. He says he has the sense of the world changing around him, but he's so immersed in this all-consuming school work that he hasn't had time to process it.
When I do need a little social contact, my friend Irene, who lives next door, goes out onto her balcony, and we have balcony visits, some 15 feet apart. Perfect! As well, I've joined conversation exchange.com, where you can find people to Skype with, in order to improve their English and your second language (in my case, Spanish). Or just help them with their English, if you are not learning another language!
I had my first session this morning with a lovely lady in Spain. You can search by country, gender, age, whatever, so I looked for ladies between 60-70, in Spain. I highly recommend it as a way to reach out and distract someone who is going through scary and isolated times. And helping someone with English (or whatever your native tongue might be) is fun and satisfying!
This is an other Attempted at a minimalist landscape photograph.
This was taken on the ferry back from the isle of Bute I liked the way the sun was shinning brightly on the little white yacht against the overcast hills in the back ground I took an exposure setting for the boat and use as wide an aperture as possible to reduce the depth of field so to put even more attention on the yacht.

Yellowstone is a very diverse eco-system. In the north there is quite a bit of "desert". Many spaces are void of trees and the sagebrush takes over. Some of the sagebrush, as it ages, gets quite tall. The sagebrush shown here is relatively immature. I believe the hill is Garnet Hill just west of Tower-Roosevelt on the Grand Loop Road. The snow was quite deep here in places. Some of the drifts are visible in the image. I felt quite lucky to get an evening sky like this. During much of my stay the sky was overcast.
This hill stands alone surrounded by the sagebrush!

Bryce State Hospital was one of the most beautiful asylums I have visited. Most of the architecture was fairly plain within the wards, but the decay was beautiful and there were elements in this building I had never seen before.
Sadly, the wings of this 1850's era building were demolished in 2014, when the nearby University purchased the property. The Administration section of the building remains, and will likely be turned into a museum, but the wards that hold the patient's history are gone forever.
