What do you see when you are out walking?

With Covid, I am having to spend a lot more solitary time doing things. Since mid-March, Iā€™ve been working from home, and for eight weeks I was furloughed. I spent that time doing a lot of hiking, with my dogs. In fact, Iā€™ve logged 300 miles of walking since the end of May when I was furloughed. I am blessed to live in WV, near beautiful hiking areas,rivers and the mountains. With the incredible cameras on cell phones now, I took a lot of pictures.

And got in touch with my inner and dormant, amateur naturalist.

All of us are impacted by the pandemic....what do you see when you are out walking?

I'm in a very similar situation. Still working though. But also in the mountains. Moved here right after work went fully remote. Saw a couple of moose. Some mountain goats. Elk and deer.
Coworker is in the middle of NYC and not so lucky.

I'm lucky being in the mountains, as opposed to a city. You must be in the western mountains :). I see deer, coyotes, bear and foxes, and beavers.

Same thing as before COVID but now people with masks. Donated my convalescent plasma yesterday. Oddly had to wear a mask while doing so.
