That also applies to women.

It turns out that's for bacteria. The argument for coronaviruses is less clear.

And remember that for hands at least, soap and water are still more effective than any concentration of alcohol in a hand sanitizer.; 3/12/20, 10:21 AM

Is this a video?; 3/12/20, 10:36 AM

Pale sun; lakeshore horizon.
Cloudwaves rest on rock.

L Day said...: Look at the red dot, then let your eyes follow the horizon in either direction. The red dot will disappear.; 3/12/20, 10:56 AM
JMW Turner said...: In one photograph you have captured the classical elements: earth, air, water, fire (sun). Bravo!; 3/12/20, 11:05 AM
Unknown said...: Thanks for the photo and for mentioning the dot. I had to look closely to find the dot.; 3/12/20, 11:54 AM
Richard Dolan said...: It would make a great 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle.; 3/12/20, 12:13 PM
Maillard Reactionary said...: It really is a nice photograph. The stones in the foreground help to make it work.; 3/12/20, 4:20 PM
Susan in Seattle said...: I mistakenly left this comment on another thread - and in that one's context, doesn't make a lot of sense, so am re-posting here. Apologies.

Most excellent. It immediately called to mind the movie about JMW Turner wherein he added a splash of red paint to accentuate a work that seemed to be 'missing something' and it made all the difference. Lovely.; 3/12/20, 9:20 PM
Mikec said...: That is really a great photograph. I hate to praise it too much because I don't want to encourage Ann to abandon this blog and go into photography.; 3/13/20, 7:04 AM
