Distant Snow. (I already used the “Far Snows” caption.) #mountains #trees #snowline

I do appreciate the bandage motif for the distancing markers at this urgent care. (Everything’s ok, this was the follow-up visit to an injury last week.)

Kid did NOT want to log onto school this morning. He eventually did, but he was really mad about it. I just walked by his room and he’s taken the cardboard stand-up of Spark that he & his mom made for Pokemon Go fest and set it up to block the door like he’s guarding the entrance.
Fortunately, Spark is considerate enough to wear a face mask per pandemic recommendations.

covid-adjacent, pokemon, silly
I think Koffing is supposed to look like a magnified grain of dust or pollen…but it looks an awful lot like a coronavirus, too.

I don’t have a clever caption for this one, but thought it was cool that I caught the Croagunk *right there* while trying to decide what to do with the frog statue.
Incidentally, the frog statue is a Pokestop. And so is the historical cabin in the Sneasel picture.

(I had such a hard time trying to get it to face the right direction, which is why it’s still a little bit off. At least I didn’t need to worry about the real turtle wandering away while I set up the shot.)
Sneasel is disappointed that the museum is closed.
Some cities around here are just wrapping the playgrounds in caution tape. This one broke out the metal barriers and wants to remind you exactly WHY the playground is closed.

Thinking back to the last “normal” weekend in southern California
Thinking back to the last “normal” weekend in southern California before it became clear that covid-19 was spreading locally & closures started.
After a busy Saturday & Sunday morning, I went out for a calming photo walk at the beach.
Not many people were there. I’m not sure if it was just not warm enough yet, or people were starting to keep their distance already, or if they were just all at the other end where there was a kite festival.

Wild and Domestic Mallards
While some cities have only closed playgrounds and sports facilities at their parks, Manhattan Beach has closed them all outright. Polliwog Park has a large pond year-round that attracts ducks, geese and coots, plus gulls and pigeons stopping in. The park has been literally wrapped in caution tape for a month, and the ducks that normally stay in and around the pond have come out to the edges by the sidewalks where people can still walk by and feed them.

covid-adjacent/masks
I’ve seen several discarded face #masks by the side of the road while walking around the neighborhood.
I don’t understand: They’re not easy enough to find that you can just toss one and replace it on a whim. What’s the story? Did someone rip another person’s mask off and throw it in the dirt as a form of bullying? Throw their own mask away in frustration?

Seeing a lot of these signs in front of restaurants
Seeing a lot of these signs in front of restaurants when I go walking in the neighborhood.
Most people have been really good at maintaining social distancing while out. The group in the distance seemed to all be one family.
Except for runners. Runners passing me from behind (where I can’t see them to move out of the way myself) have a 50/50 track record of dodging around vs. just zooming past at a distance of a foot.
Still not used to the idea that restaurants can sell beer to go now.
