Currently one of the most hideous things you have do - food shopping. This was taken just before 8 am when the doors open.

Widened sidewalks and open streets are better for health and safety.

2 Meter Social Distancing in the City Centre of Manchester is very important,photographed on 21/06/2020

Like many photographers I have been searching through archived photographs that have never been processed. I saw this nature based shot. I think it brings to mind the current situation. But I think it shows hope that things will change in the future, just as the tide will come in and renew the view, the constant shifting sands.

Stay well Flickr friends!

Like a lot of folks, I came back to Second Life recently due to COVID. Not being in an office was great at first (no pants anyone?) but not being able to do anything or see anyone was starting to weigh heavily on me. This idea spawned from the SL subreddit - a coworking space in game where folks could sandbox a little, and afk while working. It's a work in progress, but I'm hoping it'll be something great.

536 Sheridan Road, Wilmette

Formerly the Louis Bourgeois studio, now the official residence of the Secretary of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of the United States.

Jean-Baptiste Louis Bourgeois (March 19, 1856 – August 20, 1930) was a Canadian architect, active in Canada and the United States.

In 1896 he came to Chicago where he worked with innovative architect Louis Sullivan. Within several years he moved to Southern California, where he designed a landmark residence in the Mission Revival style, in central Hollywood for the popular still life painter Paul de Longpré. The 1898 house at Hollywood Boulevard and Cahuenga, with an art gallery to sell de Longpré paintings and surrounded by the expansive "Le Roi de Fleur" gardens, became a tourist destination on a P.E. Redcars line. Bourgeois also taught French to de Longpré's daughters, and married one of them, Alice.

By the Winter of 1906 Bourgeois and his wife had joined the Bahá'í Faith after having "come into association with the Baha'i Faith through Marie Watson and Mary Hanford Ford," (then of the Boston Bahá'í community.) The Bahá'í teaching on the unity of religions was also important to him. When he was in New York City, Bourgeois joined the community there but then soon moved to Teaneck, New Jersey to expand the Bahá'í community there.

The Great Depression slowed down the construction of the Bahá'í Temple that began in the early 1920's. Bourgeois died in 1930 never getting to see the completed work, when it was dedicated in 1953.

======================================

With social-distancing in place, I've been out for many solitary walks thru the neighborhood and beyond.

This is a shot from one of those excursions.

The corona virus is driving some people crazy so they want us to stay home. We are lucky to not have a bunch of houses around us, and none across the street from us.

The simplified health history on this 1-page application lists more than a dozen possible warning flags for one or all currently offered, FDA-approved, vaccines for Covid-19. Personal identification and contact details go on the top, signature and date on the bottom. In-between are the screening questions. Upon presenting yourself and vaccine card from initial vaccination against Covid, the person asks for preference about which arm to use for the injection and also asks for brand of vaccine preferred, since each has slightly difference history and basis. Recommendations made in October 2021 were for Moderna and Pfizer recipients to wait 6 months after initial set of vaccinations before coming back for booster (1/2 the volume of the initial injection dose). For Jansen the recommendation is to wait 2 months from (single-dose formulation) before coming back for booster dose. Both P. and M. were derived by using the mRNA (messenger RNA) route, the newest technique. Jansen used the older method of "virus vector" to create a profile for the body to activate its immune response in a safe way.

For the first few weeks of the booster campaign the priority was on health care and other high-risk populations like elderly (weaker immune response, usually) and immuno-compromised people. But with the advent of the Omicron variant late in November 2021 now the booster (and initial vaccination) campaign encourages ALL eligible people to get full vaccination, followed by booster.

Today I am going food shopping. I'm going alone. Normally there are 2 or 3 of us.

We have decided that it is best to buy more, less often. This will reduce our exposure - and stress.

Slightly nervous to be honest - can I get what we need? Will there be a large queue? Will I get stares for buying a lot of food (we are a family of 5)?

Social distancing signs have appeared since last time I was here. There was no queue when I arrived.

So much has changed so quickly. We now live in a world dominated by some virus that's been reported as deadly. California's and New Yorker's have been told to stay inside and practice social distancing when in public.

These are some pictures I snaped while walking my dogs each day

I thank every person for their service. May is the month of Capital TransPride and I am especially thankful that every human can serve, because they are human.

And, it's good to see you alive and well.
