Someone once said metaphorically and rather prophetically before Covid-19 hit us all;

  "In a world where everyone wears a mask, it’s a privilege to see a soul.” 
The request from our black cat echoes that              Thanks for faving

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 fave DevelishAngel   Do stay healthy by following the guidelines!

Hi  , 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 post card. I clearly remember equally unwelcoming views on cards, 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 Develish-angel     Stay safe

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

Hi Devilish-Angel     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 Develish-angel 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.
