17 protected

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.
I feel like this today too Helen, I have to remind myself, this will pass. Take care.

Don’t feel ashamed. We are all having to be sensible and nobody wants this awful virus

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

You are doing the right thing - here, all over 70 are not allowed to go out. But if they have a garden, that's ok!

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!

A very lovely image. Take care, Helen.

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.

Definitely no need to feel ashamed, we all have to do what keeps us safe! A wonderful macro and details.

You are not just helping yourself! The more people who stay inside the less the virus will spread - so you are helping many. :) And I love your photo!

I think we all feel the same way. Scary days at the moment and we should all look for self preservation to get through this.

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.

Beautiful macro shot, great detail. Fav,!! 😀

A very appealing shot. I don't even take the dogs out every day now, sunshine or not.

Don't feel ashamed Helen. Your self preservation is protecting others and this what we have to do now. Beautiful capture.

it's your duty to preserve yourself! How can you help anyone else if you don't!

Elegant -- and yes, protective. Take care.
