Beginning today, March 26, 2020, I have been self-isolated for a week. The last time I went out of my house for anything other than a trip to the grocery store was last Wednesday.
Since that day there has been plenty of things to fear. But if we follow the simple guidelines of only going out for essential trips, such as going to the grocery store and work, if your job fall under the essential category, I think that the only real fear is fear itself. And listen over listening to the news, for me is one way that I see fear arising.
When you look outside the window, spring is fast approaching. Changes are happening every day.
Beginning on St Patrick’s day I have been posting a “Photo a Day” of the scenery seen on the Delmarva Peninsula on my facebook page “ShoreToBeFun Photographs”. Most of these photos have been ones I’ve captured over these past few years. One or two, like “Spring Arrivals” posted here is a recent one. It would be great if you follow me there. Or on my Instagram at SGAtkinson_Photographer.
While it’s true that many people will be hurt by what’s going on, the one thing we all know is that things will change. Some for the worst and others for the best. I hope that I’m not one that comes out hurting.
As for me, I am going to venture out today for the first time in a week and enjoy the scenery. I will maintain social distancing and maybe capture some beautiful scenes.
