Social distancing sign

An all-day, heavy, and cold rain—there was actually significant snow not-too-far to our north and west—kept me inside and camera-less for the duration, so, truth in journalism (and maybe the more appropriate term is "truth in bloggism"), this image was actually taken yesterday, during my Trailing Arbutus trek to Lantern Hill. You know the phrase, "a sign of the times"? Well, when the COVID-19 pandemic is consigned to the history books, assuming it ever truly departs, this will be the sign I remember... the sign that summarizes the new normal. I hope and pray that it doesn't mark the time when we had to become permanently distant. Seeing every other hiker I meet as someone to avoid... someone unknowingly hosting an easily transmissible and potentially fatal coronavirus... is itself a kind of plague.
