Today, I have a companion post to “A Summer Flower and Waterfalls” from a time of Coronavirus (COVID-19) from a walk cut short by inconsiderate people not following New York laws.
All photographs and videos are from an Apple IPhone 7.
Here is a long and close shot of Columbine Flowers thriving on the edge of a gorge cliff.

Continuing onto the forest trail I spotted this Jack-In-The-Pulpit. Here is a photograph and short video.
My walk this day was cut short by joggers, unmasked, on the narrow trail. For each I stepped off to put 6 feet between us. So inconsiderate and unnecessary, selfish.

Wonderful, Michael! I love the videos although at one point had to hold on to the arms of my chair as I got a bout of vertigo!!😀 Oh, we too are contiually having to jump off the path for others who don’t seem to care at all about moving over … at least I’m becoming ever more agile!

I’ve taken to calling people out at times, when my wife is not along.

It’s beyond me why people won’t wear masks or follow appropriate distancing and gathering guidelines. I guess it’s just acute selfishness, but sometimes we look like a nation of morons.

“Ship of Fools” — I saw one fool last week, in the Agway parking lot, wearing a surgical mask over his eyes, with holes cut out to see, and his nose and mouth uncovered. In his car was a sign “No ‘Mo Coumo” — a reference to Andrew Coumo, our Governor who is providing welcomed and sane leadership at this time.
