This week's photos of Columbia
This is what happens if you self-isolate too long.
Get out and get some fresh air and exercise once in a while; just remember to practice social distancing.
These folks are social distancing while walking on the high school hill.
Don't become a statistic.
It's all right to hope and pray, but follow healthful guidelines, too.

Even churches are taking safety measures (shown here and below).
Right now would be a good time.
But no matter what, spring has sprung...
. . . and life finds a way.

This cardinal keeps attacking the window. Is it territoriality?
Here's a "step-by-step" of him staging another attack.

Working on the railroad once again.
In a former time, railroad workers looked like this.
There are some mighty tall people on the trail.
These people are heading for the trail. Some trail walkers and riders observe social distancing. Some don't.
If you're sick, stay away from others.
This red-headed sparrow (house finch?) also kept banging on the window.
He sat long enough for a portrait.
Then flew off in a flurry.
Uh. How about . . . NO!?

This isn't how it's supposed to be done. Don't throw gloves on the ground after use. That's counterproductive. Dispose of them properly.
Meanwhile, over in Wrightsville . . .
So that's what COVID stands for.
According to the King James Version, 2 Chronicles 7:14 states:
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
Over on Poplar Street - some flowers to brighten your day.

Keep holding on. This too shall pass.

In resolution, PA lawmaker blames COVID-19 outbreak on 'our presumptuous sins'
On Monday, Borowicz dropped a non-binding resolution that would, if approved, declare March 30 "a state day of humiliation, fasting and prayer in Pennsylvania," because, she says, the COVID-19 epidemic that's claimed the lives of thousands worldwide and six right here in Pennsylvania, "may be but a punishment inflicted upon us for our presumptuous sins."
