Macro in my back yard. Nikon D610; 105mm Sigma 2.8

Wow, the world has changed in a matter of a couple of months. We are going through a pandemic. The first in my life time. Everyone is asked to stay at home as much as possible, and practice social distancing when out and about. Which that means people should be with in 6ft of each other.

So, I'm spending a lot of time at home, that I'm not used to. I have to admit, I'm going a bit stir crazy. It's not that I go out several times a week (aside from work), but that I am unable to now. Even though we are not on a Shelter-In-Place order, everywhere I like to go is closed even the parks and reserves.

This means I have to find things to do and things to shoot to keep the boredom at bay. Also, to help me get out of my head with my worries. It's good to be informed, but we can't stay on the news site all day.

Screw City. Olympus OMD EM10; Olympus 60mm 2.8 macro

Someone in a Facebook group posted a screw cityscape. I thought it was such a brilliant idea and gave it a whirl. If you're stuck at home Google some activities. Especially if you have a hobby, or you have kids and need to fill some time. TV shows and movies are great for taking our minds off things, but they don't let you exercise your imagination. 

Stay safe, wash your hands, stay within 6ft of people, and stay home the best you can. Just don't become a couch potato. Once this is all over we will be able to go back out in to the world and resume normal life. I hope.
