A Bright Spot

In times like this Seaside is the place I go to try to find a bright spot. The weather was clear and chilly when I took this pic, and there weren't many folks on the beach. That made it easy to adhere to social distancing. Last night our Governor issued a Stay-At-Home Order for the entire state of CA. Not sure how much longer the beaches will stay open, especially since folks will be flocking there once the weather warms.

A beautiful beach scene with that wonderful light...these are unsettling times..V

Beautiful capture with the starburst. As I read it, we can still go for walks and bike rides, just adhere to the distance. When I walk the neighborhood, everyone is respecting the distance but also significantly more friendly to one another. V

A fine shot of the evening sun. I hope these stay at home orders don't last all summer.

It will certainly be interest to see who follows the rules once it is warm. Amazing starburst here.

Marvelous light rays in this great capture. I suspect the beaches will close, as they should in other places...

ace alignment here...the stillness is notable too, so a good time to visit when few people are about...Sam reported yesterday that there is a similar stay in place order in effect for Arizona...weird times indeed..

A superb shot. V.
Beaches are closing today in South of France as too many people rest on the sand instead staying at home like they must.

A perfect mood for the current situation. The brilliant sunshine contrasts well with the somber state we are in. V
