After the constant barrage of virus-speak on TV and radio, this morning I felt the need to chill out. I went into the forest that towers over the house and sat for a while at the base of my favourite tree, a giant Totara, hundreds of years old. There's something comforting and reassuring about old trees...
I was lucky during UK’s lockdown because I had a garden to occupy me. I spent many days pottering around in it. As the weather was so good, I also spent hours on the garden swing just watching the new wild flower bed. I observed what flowers had emerged, what flowers had died, what insects came and which flowers they preferred. We had garden birds to and fro the bird feeders. We watched buzzards and skeins of geese flying overhead. At the same time, I was preoccupied by the Pandemic. What was this virus, what was happening and where, how to stay safe? Here’s a photograph that symbolises those months in the garden, with the fence the barrier between me and the wider world. The camera says I took the photograph on 1st January 2000, not so.
Selfmade Camera 6x8 motorized, about 21mm in fullframe.
optical viewfinder from voigtländer not perfect but ok. Finder with smartphone and app works fine.
sorry, my tools are very simple, just a saw, a circle saw, epoxy glue, ...
1107, 1102 and 1101 slow down on approach to Menangle Park as they catch upto 3112, then have to wait for it to clear the 13ish minute section from Macarthurt to Glenfield on the single line SSFL.
I was listening to the daily NSW Health update which abruptly finished while taking this photo as the Premier, Ministers, Commissioners and Chief Health Officer went to a Crisis meeting. 2 hours later they came back and placed Greater Sydney, and surrounding regions into a snap 14 day lockdown due to massive Covid-19 breach. Hopefully we eliminate it again, anyone affected by Lockdown please stay safe.

We just went into a stay-at-home emergency order here in Ontario...for 28 days. Stay-at-home, lockdown, shutdown...it's all the same to me. Fortunately I'm retired.
Took a quick selfie/mugshot the other day, wrinkles and all. It’s only the 2nd I've ever taken. Nothing artistic, just yours truly for a laugh. I normally have a dislike for being in front of a camera.....at least knowingly!
One great thing with wearing a mask, I don't need to shave often....and I can stick my tongue out at anyone secretly.

I have set myself a lockdown challenge too only take photos in my garden or from my garden. It is going to be interesting to see what effect this has on my photographic skills. With no travelling involved I will be able to take advantage of the change in the light conditions, and hopefully this will help me improve my eye for a composition.
Stay safe Stay Home.
