Raybo Loc: George Town, Grand Cayman

Like many, we're pretty much locked down. Grocery store, pharmacy, Dr., and gas station on alternate days based on surname..A-K one day, L-Z next day. Actually only allowed to be out for 90 minutes of "exercise" a day. And as of a few days ago, you can't even drive to get to a place to do that. You have to walk. Too many people stopped that were quite obviously not headed to "exercise". And it's up to a $4,000 fine if you get caught violating the curfew...

But we do count our blessings for we live where. We're both able to work from home, and the tight lockdown here is pretty much a necessity. We have a lot of modern amenities, but a healthcare system adequate to deal with much of an outbreak isn't one of them. Good healthcare, just not very large.

So we've been just walking in the neighborhood the last few days. Other day there were so many flowers in bloom, I took the camera with us yesterday to see what I good find. Some of them aren't particularly sharp, but neither are my eyes anymore, and manually focusing a macro lens through the viewfinder handheld...well they looked good when I took them...

Picked a few of the ones I liked and thought I'd share them. Hoping they give someone as much pleasure viewing as I had taking and posting.

All the best, and stay safe and well.

Nice variety--the cotton boll is my favorite.

Mine, too. Had walked by it several times and really wanted to try to get a decent shot of it. Imported and attempted to grow it commercially several decades ago and never really worked. So now there are a few volunteer plants the pop up in rather unexpected places.

Thanks to all for looking.

Youj have a lovely neighborhood. Very well done. It' actually a very good photo excersize. "within 100 feet of your frontdoor, shoot a bunch of photos. Amazing what you see, if you only look.

Nice pictures, what state are you in???

Raybo Loc: George Town, Grand Cayman

Actually, Cayman Islands. Grand Cayman. Largest of the three and where 95% of the people live. +/-65,000 population. Shut off Cruise ships (a HUGE part of the local economy) I think around March 13. Shut the airport down I think the 21st of March, and all "non-essential" businesses on the 24th. Have been imposing more restrictive conditions since. Although they can't really get much more restrictive than we are right now...

We can still walk around the neighborhood, so it's not quite "within 100 ft". About three blocks wide and maybe 1/2-3/4 mile long. Usually pretty active all day every day with people coming and going working all kinds of jobs and shifts...cars, walkers, moms with strollers. That's why I labeled the one with no cars and no people as "surreal"...

If I could just take my boat out fishing...
