It seems to me that the whole country should be in a self imposed quarantine... Surely there must be a theme for shooting inside the house. God Bless


I take issue with the statement that we must stay inside. Some, who live in very congested areas had best, indeed, stay inside the house. Many, however, like myself, live in more open areas and we can quite safely venture outside, stroll about or work in our yards, and even walk on unbusy streets or sidewalks without getting within 20 feet of another human being. And doing this we can even converse with friends, neighbors and total strangers while observing the CDC guidelines for social distancing. That said, I have a lifetime supply of slides that need to be copied to digital to keep me busy indoors. Be safe.

Right. I live on a few acres 20 miles from he nearest sidewalk. My neighbors have trouble with social distancing but fortunately are immune to covid.

Lol. Thanks.

I shoot people not birds. Just happened to see this one and grabbed the camera.

An uncrowded outdoor space is the safest place to be. In general, it's safer than inside your house.

Well, at least as safe. And as true for the RV. It is our rolling quarantine.

We don’t use commercial Campgrounds and fortunately live in a State (Idaho) with ample boon-docking places where you see no one else.

Perfect! Fun and protection at the same time!

As a citizen of a Boston MA suburb I am accustomed to seeing a lot of other people. Not any more. The streets are deserted. During a 5 mile drive today, I saw about 10 other cars. I haven't refilled my gas tank in over a month. It's amazing to ponder the environment of just a few short months ago, when we were living normal lives with no clue of what was about to happen to us. To everyone here: follow the rules, and stay safe! As several of our well-known thought leaders have wisely said, "This too shall pass." >Alan
