April 17th

I am in lockdown with my husband, my two adult children (20 and 22) and their partners. I have an acre of garden with views of Scafell and the Esk estuary and have access to several walking routes. I shouldnt complain but goodness when you are used to your own company all day I am finding it increasingly overwhelming. Just feeling a bit 'meh' today. Bluebells in the garden with Lensbaby which I am using more and more as the 100mm macro seems particularly heavy.
Yup. Mehmess here too.

Wow! That's a lot of people. But an acre of gardens? How dreamy....just like this shot. Beautiful!

Gorgeous! Love the bokeh. You're lucky to have such a gorgeous garden. Hang in there. Things will get better. Maybe get a pair of noise cancelling earphones.

Sounds like a great set up you have! A windergul dresmy capture with lovely dof and colour.

I think all couples are getting a bit tetchy. Love this image. Must get my lensbaby lenses out.

A wonderful capture. I envy freedom. In us after 5 weeks you will be able to go to the park, but it is only from Monday. I go for walks on the main streets pretending to go to the store.

Lovely capture, like the soft focus of the lensbaby

Great shot, nicely done....we're doing okay but then it's been just the 3 of us for a long while now...and I don't really like people anyway, so there's that ;)

Lovely shot

Beautiful shot. I can certainly understand how that much change can get a bit overwhelming.

I know your feelings! Really pretty shot of the bluebells - nice to have something that lovely close by.

Beautiful shot. Isn't it funny how people differ. I like my own company and thought being in lockdown with my husband, might be difficult. It's actually been pretty good. I don't have to cook as often, as he's taken over some of those duties. On the other hand my father-in-law is in lockdown on his own, and is lonely.

Wow! Pure art!

Wow you do have a houseful Jane! I think they all had the same great idea to go lockdown with mum...a beautiful place with lots of room. We are just the two of us here but have lots of room too...we can really spread ourselves out!

gorrrgeous bluebells for the lensbaby. i was explaining to mr g yesterday - in the nicest possible way - how accustomed i am to having the place to myself ;) not complaining either as mostly it's a delight to have him and one son around - and i know there are lonely people, and people shut up with young kids with no outdoor space ... so it was more of an observation, and a note to self, that i like my own space quite a lot these days, when in my younger days i didn't at all :)
