This week’s photos of Columbia
On patrol
Bike patrol, that is
Some prefer to walk their bikes.
This bike barely averted disaster. The driver made a wide turn and almost collided with the car.
Sometimes it’s hard to “social distance” on a bike, especially here on the Veterans Memorial Bridge, where the sidewalk is only six feet wide.
Luckily, the sidewalk is 10 feet wide at the beginning of the trail, but it still presents a challenge for three or more people passing each other. (The trail widens a bit, further on.)
Part of Chickies Rock County Park was closed earlier this week, reportedly due to the Covid crisis.
This ranger apparently was making sure it stayed that way.
There’s his truck.
Speaking of trucks . . . looks like this man is about to be eaten by one.

Here are a few sections of town:
And here’s a birds-eye view of a bird (a male cardinal, to be exact).
And of course, the bluebird of happiness, whose presence is no doubt welcome right now.
Here’s a black vulture – hopefully not an omen.
This one is airing out.

Down by the tracks on Union
Seems they did this before, not too long ago.

It’s now recommended that you wear a mask whenever you go out.
This water heater is free, even with the rust.
This is not the proper way to dispose of a mask.
Flowers at the window.
And here’s who’s making the windows dirty.
Near the top of the high school hill . . .
A Cooper’s hawk
York County’s “green and pleasant land”
Also over there, a recommendation to make an emergency plan, now that the zombies have been defeated.
In Wrightsville – a stay-at-home order?
In Columbia – a pray-at-home order?
Tree vines, not social distancing

Fallen angel
Here’s Mary trampling a serpent in her bare feet.
Mere mortals should never try this.
Easter’s here.
Along with the flowers
