Tomorrow will mark four weeks that my wife and I began isolation, what strange times. According to the latest news from the government, this may be a very long time before the isolation is over. Up to now we have been able to go out for a walk for some exercise (keeping a distance from others) but the walking trails are slowly being closed down because of people not keeping their distance. Shopping is a bit of a scary proposition as well. The stores are doing as much as they can to help us to stay safe and healthy and for now at least, this is our life. Social media has become too toxic for me, so I am currently trying to steer clear. In these difficult times, it would be nice if people could put politics aside and just work together to do what we need to do to be able to move on to whatever our new normal is going to be.

I have started working on a course from Phlearn on Photoshop to help me to pass some time while being productive at the same time. All these years of photographing and I have never learned Photoshop. No time like the present, right? This course is a very basic beginner course but that is what I need. Just a little of the basics, enough to get me started and then I can build from that.

I hope people can continue to pull together and do our part to help the greater good. It is hard, no argument there, but we need to hang in for all of us. Stay safe.
