Isolation: Stay-at-Home 2020 - Fall

Still Another Season: the Third in a Nightmare Year

This Gallery is 90 Days Long

November/December UPDATE: As the Fall season has gone on, exceptionally negative outside happenings have influenced my photography. Thus, more gloomy images than I would have liked. My "more cheerful" images have grown fewer in this gallery as the Season drags on. Even so, I do still try to include some.

Healthy, we've been in self isolation and staying at home ever since my husband started to tele commute on March 9th. Being self employed, I started to stay home myself a week before that. When we first started our COVID avoidance, I never imagined that the days would turn into weeks and the weeks into months and the months into Seasons. Although still working via telecommuting, my husband is in the "high risk" age group. What effects one of us effects us both. We are in this together. As much as I want the old "normal" of freedom back, our Stay-at-Home "social isolation" continues into still another Season of the year. Stay-at-Home means not leaving home for anything other than essential activities. It is intended to limit contact with those carrying and spreading COVID-19. Social distancing (which includes Stay-at-Home isolation) helps to avoid becoming ill from coronavirus. This World Pandemic needs continuing new hosts to continue to thrive. We are doing our best to stay out of that equation. Sadly, the disease still continues to find many new hosts in the USA. We plan to survive the pandemic.

The human psyche was not designed for long term isolation. But with having each other & being able to reach out in a modern cyber world, we are managing. These are my memories for the future when life once again someday finally returns to normal. My photos and notes are memories of history survived. Once life someday finally returns to "normal", I know that I will have a hard time believing all the things that have been happening in 2020 - even having lived through it. That's why I am recording statistics, news from the day, and personal thoughts. Some of the photos in this gallery will be decent quality photos. Others will be nothing more than quick snapshots of & from isolation. To balance out all the negativity happening in the outside world, I try to add mainly photos of with a positive tone connected to everyday life. However, there may be some days when the day's news is overwhelming and influences my daily image. This is history lived.

I've been following your gallery since you started it. I can see how some days reporting have been hard for you because you really care. Other days show that life in 2020 still can be normal. Thank you for doing this gallery for all of us.
