It might be pushing the point but the moral of the Thurber fable I quoted;  "Who flies afar from the sphere of our sorrow is here today and here tomorrow."  could be applied to the Covid-19 situation that is affecting so many of us     
Thanks for the lunar fave Larru       Do stay healthy by following the guidelines!

Hi Larru, thanks for faving the "Bleak House..." photograph. Perhaps not my favourite submission and certainly not the cheeriest landscape I've captured but I did like recreating the effect of an old vintage postcard. I clearly remember equally unwelcoming views on postcards, with slightly distorted colour tones and browned edges, outside seaside shops when I was a kid...
                                          As always, stay safe in these disheartening times and cheer yourself up with   www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMBh-e…

We might be hiding from nature currently but its beautiful face is beginning     
to show itself after the gloom of winter, at least in the northern hemisphere      

Perhaps the emotional lift spring gives will sustain us in the Covid-19 crisis. I hope my daffodil submission helped a little - thanks for faving Larru             Stay safe...

To complete the quote that inspired the title of my sunset photograph...   

         “Bursts of gold on lavender melting into saffron. It's the time of day when the 
           sky looks like it has been spray-painted by a graffiti artist.”   ~ Mia Kirshner

Hi Larru, thanks for faving my windmill shot  "Nothing new under the sun..."      

I'm not sure the new wind generators in the background are as cute as the one built 
in 1794 but hopefully they might be more efficient and save on fossil fuels        

Have a good week to come...

Hi Larru, thanks so much for faving  "The pain of her betrayal..."       

I must correct the illusion, created for drama by the title, that this was a caged kitty.

In reality, the window screen was for security of the house not to incarcerate the cat

I don't know about where you live Larru but the UK is currently having heavy rain 
and widespread flooding       Hopefully it will pass soon and water levels drop.

Eeyore would have been in his pessimistic element - "Don't blame me if it rains" he said.
