Thanks Matt. The quiet was lovely. We live about half a mile away from a major road so there is always a background hum of traffic. For the first couple of days of lockdown, it was pretty much silent. I was surprised at how quickly the traffic started up again, albeit much reduced in volume.

These are both beautiful Lynn, they perfectly embody the darkness and the light of the pandemic. The second image with the swallow is a moment of pure serendipity - I love it when everything comes together to give us a story or a message.

I love the idea of this series Lynn. As for the pandemic, it seems both long and short in terms of the memory of its presence.

Thanks, Neale. Yes, the memory of the pandemic drifts in and out of focus.

Sadly, I know some folks are still holding their breath. I think we will be grappling with the effects of that pandemic for a long time in all areas of life.

Indeed. In some ways it feels such a long time ago, but repercussions are still being felt.
