Face Masks

Here in Hobart, we have to wear face masks for the first time.

We’ve been in a snap 3 day lockdown over the weekend. Tasmanian has been covid free since June last year, with no cases in the community.

Recent risk of transmission from a positive case in hotel quarantine resulted in this lockdown. As there have been no new cases, restrictions eased this evening. Except for mask wearing.

The weekend “stay at home” order allowed exercise within 5 km of home. I’m fortunate that this coastal path is just 200 steps from our front door.

Do you wear a face mask when you leave your home?

Tasmania

Ross is a small town established in 1824 as a garrison town, home to several regiments of the British Army for thirty years, when Tasmania was a convict settlement.

Today it is a delightful town, known for this beautiful stone bridge, sandstone heritage buildings and wide streets.

The first photo is my contribution to Becky’s October Squares theme of blue.

Whilst walking on our local Howrah Beach recently, I noticed this star fish. There had been some significant erosion after strong high tides.

This is my contribution to HeyJude’s Life in Colour challenge, which is highlighting orange this month.

This misty photo was taken at Castle Acre in Norfolk, UK, last December. This village, Castle and Priory date back to the 11th Century.

I’m linking this photo to two challenges today – Becky’s October Squares theme of Lines and Ragtag Daily Prompt Mist.

I took this pic on my lunchtime walk today.

As well as sharing some old photos, I’m also looking for new ones for Becky’s October Squares Challenge at https://beckybofwinchester.com. I see both circles and lines in this photo, which have been previous themes of the challenge.

Yesterday snow fell here in Tasmania. It didn’t settle at home or in the city but we didn’t have to travel far to enjoy this winter wonderland. Here are a few of my photos.
