There are opportunities for wildlife photography, even from your front step in the middle of town.

I thought I might pass an hour sorting through my box of random lens caps, hoods and mount adapters. There's even a Phase One cap in there somewhere that I found out on the moor one day. Undoubtedly the only piece of Phase One gear I'll ever own, and probably worth more than some of my actual lenses.

If the travel restrictions were not in place I would ask if I could come and look thru your box. My gear acquisition syndrome tells me there is something in there that I must absolutely need!

I'm concerned. I think I may have just documented a mutated form of Corona Virus in my yard....

I was trying to follow the DIY instructions on home built bidet. I think the calculations are off on the pressure source.

Just to clarify:
Commenting on a photo that was posted is perfectly okay.
It's the posts that have nothing to with the theme of the challenge that are unacceptable.

I can see that Squidward finally got his wish to live further from Spongebob.

Are photos from other camera brands okay? I'm going through my camera gear, and I have a lot of cameras. Only 2 Pentax models here though, the rest are at the home of my elderly parents. Needless to say, an abundance of caution insists I don't visit them right now.

Edit: Whenever I upload my photos to PF, they come out murky and soft. Can someone recommend a way of fixing this?

So here's the funny part: my office is co-located in a Spaces building in Amsterdam on the 3rd-floor. The floors above and below us are leased by Booking.com. On February 16th there was a small gas explosion in the Booking kitchen area and the resulting fire caused a massive response from the fire brigade. Our offices were not damaged by the fire but sustained so much smoke and water that they were not accessible. We have been working from home ever since and just after we heard the cleanup was nearing completion and we would go back to work on March 18th, the lockdown started. So i have now been working from home for a full month, virtually isolated except for Bluejeans meetings and phonecalls.

So my own garden, the flower vase on the table and my short walks in the local park with my dog have to provide all of my "inspiration" for now. I have posted some extreme flower macros in this thread and here are two in the garden:

I woke up this morning and found that Gavin () was chairing an unscheduled house meeting. The topic was household chores.

They took a vote.........................." All those in favour of pjv doing ALL the work, raise your hand."

" Those against.."

I lost.
