The Covid Lights

 Last spring and summer, this area was lit up with lights as dusk began. All my photos were taken in the summer! As you can see by the flowers in my first photo.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continued to escalate, people found a creative way to stay positive: digging out their Christmas lights.

Social media was calling for yuletide decorations halfway through March, and Twitter users were urging others to put lights up outside their homes as a sign of hope in this dark time for so many. 

This little guy comes out in the evening to eat, and the lights must have confused him.

In order to cheer up kids who had not been in school in a long time, people in dinosaur costumes, one with a ruler to ensure safe social distancing, paraded around the block in Milwaukee. They organized a social distance dinosaur parade with several inflatable dinosaurs in an effort to give people a fun break from being cooped up inside due to the coronavirus.

 

This little girl brought out her own toy dinosaurs to watch the parade with her.

“As we work to create light for others, we naturally light our own way.”

“We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won’t need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don’t fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine.” – Dwight L. Moody
