Blossoms

I have been absent from the site for nearly a week owing to a nasty bout of Covid. After dodging it for just over two years I ran out of luck last week. I likely caught it while attending the Rugby Sevens tournament on the Easter weekend even though I’m fully vaxxed and boosted. Omicron doesn’t care. I should have worn a mask but, like most other people, I long for a return to normal and, swayed by relaxed restrictions and my vaccination status, I thought I was safe. Lesson learned. I’m still in quarantine but the the worst is over. I allowed myself a short walk around the neighbourhood today to get some fresh air and take a few snaps with my phone. Hopefully back to my old self soon.

Oh no, that stinks.....I am glad to hear you are doing a bit better. Glad you were able to get out and took a capture to post, this is pretty

[Terri]

So sorry to hear that. Hope you are feeling much better. What beautiful flowers you found on your walk today.

[Jim R]

Sorry to hear about you capturing Covid. We seem to have relaxed a bot too much out here. Happy to hear you are better and able to get out a bit.

[Islandgirl]

So sorry to hear that Covid has caught you, but fortunately you are on the mend!
Fantastic blooms!

It’s a beautiful shot to return with. Glad you are recovering and hope you feel much better soon.

Hope you feel better soon. I have noticed, around my area, that now since they have done away with mask mandates, in so many places, fewer and fewer people are wearing them. It's sad for me because it means I will now be staying away from places and things I used to feel relatively safe going to because everyone there was masked up. I just do not understand why it is such a big thing to wear a little piece of fabric over your mouth and nose when you are in a public, inside environment. We all wear clothes over other parts of out bodies whenever we go out. Why is a little mask so much more onerous ?
Lovely delicate shot, BTW.

Fabulous light on these beautiful flowers.

[Kathy]

Beautiful! A warning to me as I am a bit more careless about mask usage these days. Hope you recover quickly.

Beautiful capture. Glad you are feeling better; an unfortunate reminder that Covid is still out there.

Superb closeup.
Good to hear you ar fine.
And don't worry! We're all going to get it sooner or later.

[Diana]

So sorry that you had a nasty bout of Covid! Fortunately mine was very mild as if I just had a common cold. The only problem is that I still do not taste anything except sweet, salt and sour!
I wonderful capture of these beautiful flowers, great light, tones and bokeh.

Oh so sorry to hear that. Terrific shot of the blossoms. Getting out in the spring air probably helps you get better faster….hopefully.

That sucks big time. Hope it clears up without any problems. I've also managed to avoid the virus so far but here all restrictions are lifted now (you don't even have to quarantine any more if yo get it!)
