the lure of freedom in the time of coronavirus

So like you (I hope!), we are "social distancing." Puerto Rico continues to have the most restrictive rules in the country and with recent changes even more restrictive.

The curfew was moved back from 9:00 PM to 7:00 PM and is in effect until 5:00 AM. People are only permitted out during those hours for medical emergencies. What days we can go out to the grocery or pharmacy are now determined by the number on the car's license plate. If your plate number ends in an even number, you can travel on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. If it's an odd number, your days are Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. On Sundays grocery stores are closed and you can only buy gasoline and medical/personal items, no food, drinks, etc., and then only for emergencies. This weekend everything will be closed Friday, Saturday, and Easter Sunday. Gonna be a long weekend!

I've stopped taking the dogs to the beach for walks. Now we just walk around the property. It's not the same but at least it's outside, fresh air, and some exercise. I've been doing a lot of grass cutting and fence clearing around the farm.

Elaine spends a lot of time watching horse training videos on the computer so my computer time is limited. I have managed to get some time to experiment a little with some different photography ideas. The image above is one. Here are a couple more:






More to come. Stay safe!
