April
Wie können sie denn schon wieder den April in die Ecke stellen,
mit dem Gesicht zur Wand.
Die Veilchen und Zyklamen werden trotzdem aus den Trottoirs sprießen,
in den verseuchten Städten,
und an diesen farblosen Haltestellen warten sie dann
auf ihren virtuellen Weitertransport.
Verliebte Mandelbäume stellen sich auf die Brücken.
Und eine sanfte Brise weht vom Flussufer her
um ihre weißen Kronen.
Der geschwängerte Fluss fließt vorüber
und stillt den Durst der Seelen von Ertrunkenen.
Nachdem er im Schoß seiner eiskalten Mutter überwintert hat,
lässt er das Wasser wieder reichlich strömen.
In geschlossenen Fenstern erscheinen neugierige Gesichter,
die sehen aus wie Bilder in Passepartouts.
Zum Vergleich:
Im Land der aufgehenden Sonne würde man sagen:
Ich bin immer noch mit Maske,
in Shizuoka
blühen die Kirschblüten schamlos.

LOCK-DOWN
For the last month because our health is not at all good, we have been on a lock-down. We are fortunate that we have had relatives and good friends who have helped us in our time of need. Going to shops, the pharmacy and our local hospital to pick up vital stores and medicines.
So to everyone a big Thank you and a message of ‘Keep Safe’ to you all and your families.
I show this series of photos to show that we are keeping busy, listening to music, reading, painting and my latest venture into cooking via video link with my Granddaughters. We made a coffee and walnut cake last week but I ate it before I remembered to get the camera out.
I’m currently listening the Beatles ‘All you need is Love” and it seems very appropriate to the occasion.
Best wishes to all
Patrick

LOCK-DOWN
In many ways it seems that LOCKDOWN has not totally passed by although we are still getting our boosters, for those that are in bad health or over 75. Currently in the GB (14-07-2022) there are over 2.7 million people with Covid, so contagion fully in check.
These following images were taken at a time when full lockdown was in place and things were very different. However this is the last of the postings.
One of the books that I read during that time. A wonderful author who died suddenly. Sorely missed, his books were so descriptive and imaginative.
First published in England 1932
First published by Penguin Books 1939
Introduction by Andre Gide
I'm thinking on the song 'Yellow Submarine'.
A yellow ball lonely on a deep blue background like a yellow submarine lonely in the blue wide ocean. Maybe, many people are lonley in the Corona Lockdown, which is why I've choosen a minimalist motif.
Starting from today I've put my Wood Pigeons into lockdown. LoL.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
Es gibt sicher niemanden unter uns, der coronabedingt nicht ein paar besondere Momente in Erinnerung behalten wird. Hoffentlich waren es bei euch positive Momente, bei mir war es zumindest so.
In Erinnerung blieb unter anderem dieser Abend im Frühjahr 2020 während des ersten sogenannten "Lockdown" in Sachsen. Die Kaiser's mussten sich zu viert mit Homeschooling und Homeoffice arrangieren, was ganz gut geklappt hat, den Gang in die Natur aber umso wichtiger machte. Wo sonst kann man Kraft und Ruhe so intensiv tanken - das geht mir zumindest so.
Eine dieser "Corona-Touren" führte mich abseits stark begangener Wanderwege (Kontakte sollten ja gemieden werden) zum Sonnenuntergang auf den Kleinhennersdorfer Stein in der Sächsischen Schweiz. Hier wartete ein entspannter Sonnenuntergang darauf, festgehalten zu werden.
Kommt gut und gesund durch diese bewegten Zeiten!

One upside of the outbreak is that a few companies are offering apps for free or putting them on offer. I bought Affinity Photo for half price and created this composite in it today from a couple of photos, great photoshop alike for iPad.
HSS!
3rd lockdown we are in and people try to stay sane by being out in the cold. I hope to go back to normal soon, but I understand the feeling when I look at this image.
Thank you all for your appreciation.

Another macro capture taken in my garden recently. This time it's a Six-spot Ladybird on Forget-me-nots. It's surprising what you can find to photograph in these times of lockdown if you're lucky enough to have a garden. You don't have to leave your home to be able to photograph our wildlife. All you need is a macro lens and your eyes and a different perspective from the norm, so why not set yourself a challenge. My garden isn't large but I've seen lots of different species of bees, hoverflies and bee flies as well as this rather obliging ladybird.
I have set myself a lockdown challenge too only take photos in my garden or from my garden. Stay safe Stay Home.
