The weird place I find myself where so much has changed and yet so much stays the same and continues on. The sun sets; the sun rises. Truly taking it day by day.
The following photos are just some of the many that I have taken so far to document our current pandemic…
To show future generations of my family what COVID-19 looked like for me. Yet I am fully aware and sensitive to the fact that I have mostly what I need and the luxury of being okay when others aren’t. I pause to reflect and pray for those people here and around the world, and I help and give where I can. I do not take anything for granted. Let’s stay united and help those who need it through tangible means.

New normal:
Move on over Superman and Spiderman. We have some new super heroes! They include not only first responders, but also health care workers and other essential jobs such as grocery store workers: (*Photo Cred: Liz V.)
Easter was very different this year, but I found small blessings and hints of hope. My nephew was one month old, we were all healthy, and a bald eagle made its appearance:
(Sorry for the lack of quality – I didn’t have the best camera with me)
The new normal continues and intensifies:
Yes, mental health is a real “thing:”
The birds of the air and the fish in the sea continue on in their lives, completely unaffected by COVID-19:
We have lost so much. But we have also gained so much:
