Glad to hear that.
I’ve been living like a hermit except for some brief walks outside for exercise and very occasional grocery shopping trips. Trying to avoid all social contact unless absolutely necessary.

We’ll see… Measures are tightened on a day by day base …

. . . to cope with a danger that is approaching from around the corner but whose scale is impossible to predict.
Good health and safety to you Peter.

The color one is especially striking. Looks like it would make great wallpaper.

Well. We just went to the store and….NOTHING bad happened. Everything was fine. We got everything we were looking for. No one maced anyone. No one had to call the police. It was like Pandemic Panic Lite.

The first image doesn’t say “Pestilence” at all to me – probably because I immediately recognize those clover flowers – I’ve always been fond of them. Just as I am always fond of your botanicals. I guess I’m doing almost the same as you except that I drive to parks and walk in the woods. And I haven’t given up my cherished afternoon espresso. I never wanted a home machine because part of the ritual is the interaction. It’s getting harder now, but not impossible. Our county still has not-too-many cases but that may be because no one’s getting tested. Sigh.

Thanks for giving a name to the flowers I couldn’t identify. Can’t help wondering if the title “Pestilence” was influenced by the times we’re living in.
Take care, Lynn, and hopefully this virus can be stopped before it does even greater damage.

A more careful look tells me I could be wrong – without seeing the “unadulterated version” I’m actaully not sure that’s what those are. Anyway, I’m trying to take care – you too!
