Bench and Crocuses

There is good news about COVID in the province. It appears that we are on the cusp of entering the plateau for new cases and are even farther along in terms of flattening hospital and ICU cases. Indeed, we are doing very well in that area all things considered.

On one of our recent walkies, I took a photo of that empty bench by the river where we sat in the first few weeks on pandemic isolation. I may even try another with a wide angle lens, but this is what I have for now.


You may recall that I have taken a few photos looking across to the far shore. I don't think I have shown this one yet.


I went into video mode. I began by looking across the river once again, where the water is fast but not raging as much as last year. Then I swung the camera around the other way back toward the pond. (about 30 seconds)


We saw our first spring flowers across the street. I may return for a better photo, but this is what I took then, and it will do.

Crocuses and Heather

I am sure the daily selfie will return forthwith.

  2. Thanks, John, for taking us on a walkie once again. Despite the need to self isolate now, it is still good to get outside, away from others of course, and walk around. Nice go see the spring blooms too as hope that there is life out there.

  4. Nice short video...just the size I can look at over breakfast. I loved the crocus flowers! They are a different variety than I've seen before.

  5. Those flowers are so beautiful...We can't really grow heather well here. I used to try and then spent some time in Austria where is was everywhere because the soil was the right sort.

  10. Covid-19 has proven once again that at its heart Canada is a decent, civilized caring society. Maybe it's good once in a while to be reminded of that simple fact.

  11. Yes for spring! I remember being so excited to see my crocus and hyacinths coming up each spring in Illinois. Sigh....
