Capturing The Good Times

            It's been one long year for us all.  
I tried to make the most I could from the lockdown, 
the isolation, the anxiety, the suspicion that everyone near me had "the virus" and I would get it, too.  

Not being the type of person content sitting at home, 
I found places where I was alone and safe, 
and always with my camera.  

Recently I went through my archives of photos 
from the last year and realized it was not all fear and dread 
but a lot of discovering of neighborhood  places 
filled with natural beauty.  
I probably photographed more this past year 
than in any previous year.  And I had such fun doing it.
I learned there are good times to be had and lessons to be learned regardless of the difficulties and sadness happening throughout the world.
