Spring Pops!

Hi All,

Here are a couple more neighborhood images. I hope you're not getting bored with my neighborhood, sorry, I can only shoot what I see. I'm not sure what you call this plant, it seems pretty common here, and it's great for 3-D imagery. I shot these with a Panasonic Lumix GX7 macro camera using frame sides for phantogram processing.

The onslaught of the coronovirus in the USA continued its rise this week, approaching 100,000 deaths, undoubtably a significant undercount at that. With the push to open businesses and churches regardless of community conditions, testing and tracing capabilities, the death curve will continue to peak for who knows how long. Certainly controlling the disease is well beyond the capability of our current administration, so how many deaths will we see? 200,000? 500,000? 1,000,000? How many is too many, and how many might it have been with more competent and caring people at the helm?

I have a lot of time on my hands, so aside from walking, cooking, cleaning, and gardening each day, I read an actual Los Angeles Times newspaper, do the math puzzles, look through interesting articles in the Washington Post, Long Beach Post, and occasional other news feeds.

One of my readers suggested a thoughtful daily news brief by a woman named Heather Cox Richardson. If intersted in seeing that day's post, go to https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/, or from there you can choose to get her daily email.

Wishing you a very nice holiday weekend. Keep safe!
