Something to Think about Thursday: Photos from the Home Front

April 2, 2020 by szachik@pvs.org Leave a Comment

I asked our PVS bloggers to document what they see from the Home Front in this time of coronavirus quarantine. They discovered old family photos, streets empty of traffic, happy dogs, a world outside still rich in sunshine and butterflies, the joy of sleeping in, the joy of cooking, and the joy of reading Nietzsche.

Photo by Renée Vazquez: “Picture of my great-great grandmother that we dug back up.”
Photo by Chelsea Xu: “Here’s some pictures I took during my walks. It’s usually very peaceful and quiet in my area, and I can hear the soft wind blowing and birds singing that I rarely had the time to listen to before the outbreak.”
Photo by Renée Vazquez: We noticed our dogs are pretty happy about having us around.
Photo by Quintus Ni: Quintus finds time to sit outside in the sun. It soothes him.
Photo by Doreen Yuan: We all get to sleep a little bit longer.
Photo by Susie Zachik: The foothills of our valley seem to be doing just fine, as are the blue skies, the clouds, the mountains.
Photo by Doreen Yuan: We’re doing a lot more home cooking.
Photo by James Zheng: James, of course, turns to Nietzsche in times of need.
Photo by Katelin Slosky: Katelin takes notice of the great butterfly migration going on.
