Colorful COVID 19 Travels

We've all been in quarantine around the globe for quite a while.  Cruise lines have finally stopped, planes are mostly empty, and I assume trains are as well.  We're wearing masks when out and about doing essential things like grocery shopping.  For many of us, working in our yards, or taking walks is our form of exercise, as most gyms are still closed.    I spotted this amazing beautiful tulip bed on my walking through the neighborhood the other day.  I've been by this corner before, but apparently not at this time of the season.  Isn't is gorgeous!!  

Some fun chalk art at the end of someone's driveway.  People are being creative trying to keep their spirits up and we all benefit from it.  

As I made my way back home, I spotted more Colorful Covid.  I stood a minute and realized how we go through our busy lives, rushing here and there and we don't stop to notice things.  Perhaps that's one good thing that will come from this Covid time.  Stopping to enjoy the color around us.

What have you noticed during this time when you can't travel?  Are you traveling around your neighborhood?

Eerie Beach Walk Hilton Head Island

 Back in January hubby and I spent several weeks on Hilton Head Island.  We go every January.  Some think it an odd time to go to the beach, but it beats whatever the weather is here in Ohio.  It's generally warm enough to take walks, or ride bikes or play golf.  Sweater weather or a bit more.  Once in awhile fog will roll in about 4 o'clock.   It's usually quite quick and doesn't last long.

 This year however, we had days of fog.  Literally  3 or 4 days in a row that lasted all day.  It was quite bizarre.  As you can tell, you really can't see the ocean.  One day as I started out to walk from our condo (Marriott's Monarch in Sea Pines), I turned around and realized I couldn't even see the resort and thought I might not be able to find my way back.  

 This day's visibility was a bit better, but certainly not much by way of distance.  The blue walk way was very helpful though as I was making my way back.

It was rather eerie I thought.  You could hear people talking often but not actually see them until you were right up close.  Not sure why we had so much of it this year, but it kept me from walking as much as I usually do.  It kept me from bike riding as well.  If you can't see where you're going...best not go.  Now hubby still managed to play golf because the courses were far enough away from the ocean and they would clear.

I did a fair amount of knitting and participating in the resorts activities like playing Bingo and Trivia.
