Once again In keeping with the Welsh Government’s Lockdown rules regarding exercise.
Quote "There is recognition that people with specific health or mobility issues may need to travel further than the area around their home to be able to exercise" we drove to Swansea Beach for my daily exercise /physio . A good workout today because the tide was on its way in leaving more space and a good surface to walk on... as far as here at least.
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.

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...
...from my rear window. The house in view is about 2.5km away. the snowy mountain is about 8km distant.
Ths image is an allegory of what is left behind us and what we might have to face in near future. It might become the most used word in 2020 - lockdown ! The hole civilization is challenging a situation that we never had before. We had to minimize our social contacts and heard it day in and day out - stay @home! No one knows for how long we need to hang on. But we gotta stay strong and keep up fighting against it. And in the end we will together achieve success!
i hope you all stay safe and keep up the hope into future ! It is worth it !

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.
Lockdown has taken enough of my time. In the train to Amsterdam and 30 minutes later I’m wandering through a deserted town. I will show you some places, one every day if possible.

A fine,cool morning and I'll sharpen the big chainsaw and attack this wood pile. I enjoy reducing this kind of clutter to firewood for the coming winter.

Frost doesn't form as symmetrically as snow, and notice that this isn't a six-sided flake. I loved the bubbles on this one, and the detail on the largest flake. My husband loved the gradated blue.
Classical music is my favorite for weather- or season-related music, including the days of being mostly inside during winter that coincides with the Covid-19 pandemic. Special ones include Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 1 "Winter Dreams," Op. 13 and Ballet of the Snowflakes (from Le voyage dans la lune) by Offenbach.
Thank you in advance for your views, faves, and comments! My first Macro Mondays shot to hit Explore. By the end of its day on Explore, this had become my number-one faved shot, with about 7,000 views and more than 250 faves--and that was at spot #300. Check out my album of frost photos, with an amazing variety of shapes and frosted items, here: www.flickr.com/photos/cherylmolin/albums/72157717520030323
