Lens Artists Challenge # 124: Now and Then
Now that we are staying at home most of the time due to the pandemic, I often think about our different lifestyles now versus then.
Before the pandemic, we traveled whenever we could. Once back from our trip, hubby took care of the after-trip stuff and worked on the next trip. I’d spend most of my time downloading, deleting, and organizing photos, and making/scheduling posts. Now, we take our daily walk around the neighborhood or to local parks, and sometimes take a field trip.

Then, we made friends when we traveled. Now, I am making friends in our neighborhood through chatting, texting, and Facetime as I mentioned in my previous post–“Found Friends in Neighborhood”.
Then, hubby and I depended on the Internet mostly to get travel information and to book flights/hotels. Now, I surf Google to find movies and reading material and to learn new skills and knowledge. The fun part is that we often share and take time to discuss our findings. The other day, as I was learning color mixing, hubby took time to explain about Newton’s Color Theory.
Then, we tried international cuisines in different parts of the world as we traveled. Last year when we went to Japan for the second time, hubby spent days researching Japanese food and studying restaurant reviews. He then made a daily savory list based on each restaurant’s speciality. Now, I learn to cook various foods with different flavors and spend part of my day planning and preparing our meals.
