Another day indoors. I am not inclined to go out for the sake of it when the sun and sounds of spring do not entice me. I fear that my spirits will not be lifted but my anxieties will instead be heightened.
Whilst indoors, I feel protected, unreachable. I am ashamed of my instinct for self preservation.
sorry you're feeling ashamed about that, helen - we all need to look after ourselves, don't we? for some reason i am feeling less anxious this week than last - don't expect it to endure, but i'm enjoying it while i can ;) i hope your spirits lift very soon
Exquisite macro. I’m sorry you feel ashamed of your instinct. Hopefully you will work that through. I feel very protective of my children and grand children.
You shouldn't feel ashamed at all. You are doing what is best for you and that is a good thing. And you have found just as much beauty to photograph indoors as you would outside- so keep it up!
Don't feel ashamed Helen you just have to do what is right for you. We will all get through this if we stay sensible and keep a distance from other people.
I have the same feelings. Home is my sanctuary. I have a shielded husband , and my 94 year old mum temporarily staying with me. I have to keep them both safe. It's a huge responsibility . My table top project has helped me to keep snapping. hang in there xxxxx your picture is beautiful.
My life is subdued now. Spring is exploding in the park across the street. I barely notice it during exercise walks there. I like the subdued beauty of your spring image.
The perfect image to depict "protection." I'm glad you're taking good care of yourself. I hope you find that you can enjoy your day indoors. Perhaps a look out the window would uplift? I find that even just a few minutes admiring the natural world can work wonders.
