A Cactus Ferruginous Pygmy Owl in a Saguaro cactus stays safely away from the Gila Woodpecker atop the cactus arm. Gila Woodpeckers make holes in the Saguaro cacti that many other desert birds then use for nesting purposes.
Please keep one plane apart from other passengers.
Social distancing with a sense of humour, well done Edinburgh Airport.
It's good to see even the Army Apaches are smart enough to practice social distancing and wearing face mask!

On the 1st April I went for a walk to Shelly Beach at Redhead. Along the track one passes a lookout which allows a good view of Black Head Beach from the north.
I was interested to see about a dozen people spread out along the beach, all practising strict social distancing in view of the Covid19 rules put in place by governments. There was one small group directly below me who were not doing so even though this image appears to suggest that was the case, however I assumed they were a family.
As I recall at this time the rules around walking on the beach were unclear but became more clear a week after this image was taken when the local Suprintendant of Police confirmed he would not be arresting people exercising on the beach who were practising obvious social distancing, as was the case for all the beach walkers on this day.
Dave: Agnes, what's with the sign?
Agnes: Well, there has been a lot of talk lately about social distancing to battle COVID 19.
Dave: True that. But what's with the sign?
Agnes: I've decided to highlight my strength. I'm excellent at social distancing.
Dave: Is this a skill that you've been developing to limit transmission of coronavirus?
Agnes: No. It's a skill that I've had all of my life. It's only now that society is really embracing it.
Dave: Society is not really loving it. It's just something that we need to do right now to limit the spread of this novel virus.
Agnes: I'm no public health expert, but I do view people not in our core group much like squirrels.
Dave: Interesting. That may be the first time those words have ever been put together in the same sentence.
Agnes: It's true. They're both great to yell at and I don't really want any of them in my yard.
Dave: That makes a surprising amount of sense.
Agnes: It sure does. And to help out society I'm willing to yell my theories at all of the people and squirrels that come within yelling range.

Agnes has always been a bit of a nightmare to walk. She loves walks - but dislikes dogs or people not in her core group. It may be something from her pre-rescue past, but we truly will never know. For years we have had to pull off to the side of the path and hold her close so she doesn't make too much of a jerk of herself. Never did we imaging that her difficulties on walks would help us maintain a 2m physical distance between ourselves other walkers out there to help limit viral transmission for the good of society.
Many thanks to my lovely and tolerant wife who was willing to take a dog who is difficult to walk at the best of times out for a walk wearing a sign around her neck.
I know that the situation the world finds itself in with COVID 19 is not a laughing matter, but we must find some humour where we can and that's why Agnes got to wear the sign for this photo. And although I do much prefer the term physical distancing, for Agnes it is all about social distancing.

I'm a physician. Covid 19 has been a nightmare for many hospitals, healthcare workers, families, and patients. Hospitals are short on protective gear, special rooms, workers, and ventilators. There is a movement of short-sighted, ill-informed individuals that seem to think that the current lockdown is a fabrication to take away their rights. The fact is that if we don't social distance then hospitals will all become overwhelmed. There won't be enough gear to protect nurses, workers like me and other patients. When it comes to needing ventilators and negative pressure rooms, there won't be enough to go around. Your precious rights shouldn't put nurses and other hospital workers at an even greater risk than they already are. Think about it. Could you take some time to temporarily give up some of your liberties to save a nurse who is trying to help others? If not then please list your name below. I'd like to make certain that you don't have an opportunity to be admitted or have a ventilator, should you need one. And by all means you can kiss this big beautiful ass! #WildTurkey #Covid #SocialDistancing
For awhile now, I've had an idea for a series in the back of my mind. The series I have been contemplating for so long has everything to do with isolation and it's effects as well as causes. Up until now, I'd only completed one in the series. There are specific aesthetics in mind, in that I wanted them to be very representative of isolation and give the viewer an accurate sense of what the character in the piece is feeling. As they say, there's no time like the present.
Literally, we are presently in a state of as much isolation as we can do. We're discouraged from congregating, sometimes forbidden. We are told to keep away from one another, no hugging, no warm kisses on the cheek for greeting, don't even touch each other. Don't touch your face. Stay home. Work from home. Keep your distance. Be quiet.
Let this isolation be a reason to spend more time with those people closest to you or snuggle in deeper with your pups. Read that book you set aside months ago or last year. Complete that project you've felt so guilty about leaving half-finished. Take some long walks in the woods. Listen to the spring birds who've no idea there's a pandemic. We will pass through this.
