March 2020 - Arnold Arboretum - Title: Meeting a friend.

March 2020 was when everything changed. Prior to finding this photo location, I was standing photographing a small field of snowdrops in bloom. Others saw me and started to gather around and I was happy to chat. Then more arrived drawn by the small crowd of "snowdrop peepers." I kept backing away and finally left my intentions behind.

I had become distrustful of encountering people on my visits. The news was already reporting park closures and the statistics were scary, to say the least. I decided to walk off the pathways. Here I encountered a few friends I could speak with directly.
