I’m back!
I know, I haven’t updated for close to a month now. Being cooped up at home is getting stressful, even for shut-ins like me who can go for long periods of time without human interaction lol. Even embroidering (hobby I picked up earlier this year) has lost its spark.
For some reason, I can’t seem to get out of this state of languishment. I dread having to submit work these days, despite having the luxury of working from home. Also I had a COVID scare a couple of weeks ago; tested negative and recovered from the flu, but ever since then I’ve been having trouble breathing / a feeling of tightness in the chest. The doc says it could be GERD, but it could also be anxiety.
I feel slightly better this past week, so I’ve been going for walks around the neighbourhood, just to get out of the house and get some fresh air. It’s funny how being deprived of the basic freedom of going out without worry, changes the way you see things. Every leaf seemes greener, and I notice tiny details, on shrubs and flowers and on the ground, that I would never have paid attention to before. It’s true what they say about not knowing what you have until it’s gone.
Here are some photos from my walkabouts. Enjoy!
Hope you enjoyed this photo series!
2021 is coming to a close; I feel like I haven’t even processed 2020 yet lol.
Hope you’re all doing okay, wherever you are.
A walk always makes us feel better. Life will get back to normal one day.

These are weird times for sure, and I hope you will feel better soon! Your pictures are beautiful and your neighbourhood seems like it is full of flowers! I had never seen a mango or a papaya tree, they look so cool! 😊 Thanks for sharing these beautiful shots!

Thanks for the kind comment and for stopping by, Juliette! Yup, and since the weather is really hot now many of the fruits are in season. Hope you’re doing well where you’re at! 🙂

That notice stopping people from entering neighbourhoods is a new one to me. Great pics. They look almost macro-lens-ish. Hoping you’re feeling better—or at least have a way of balancing yourself when the dark clouds come. Take care!
