Rainbow streaks on the ceiling from the sun shining through the prisms in wind chime.
See Lockdown Photo #05 for one of the pieces of that wind chime.

Lockdown Photo #150
The side of one of many of our landline phones (I think we have 8 or 9 altogether).
Lockdown Photo #149
We've been cycling through our DVD collection during the lockdown (when we're not watching curling or baseball).
Lockdown Photo(s) #147
Looking through a kaleidoscope.
Looking up at the bottom of the kaleidoscope:

Lockdown Photo #145
The joint between the back frame, the back cushion, and the arm of our chesterfield (or sofa or davenport or couch, for some of you).
Lockdown Photo #144
Hydrangea.
Wouldn't you think that with all the time on my hands during the lockdown, I'd be able to keep the plant watered?

Lockdown Photo #143
One of the worst possible cribbage hands. I threw the K-2 into Ms. Eclectic's crib and luckily cut a 9, not a jack or queen.

Lockdown Photo #142
The charger for batteries for our cordless vacuum cleaner.
Lockdown Photo #140
The spigot on a very large Tide container. I wonder if it's possible to get it clean enough inside to use it as a drink dispenser.
Lockdown Photo #139
I expect every home with wiring that hasn’t been updated for over 35 years (like our condo unit) is likely to have a few of these.
Lockdown Photo # 138
The corner of a cutting board that has a wide enough channel to hold the juices when I carve meat.

Lockdown Photo #135
A year ago February, before the pandemic panic, I bought this two-four of water. We haven’t gotten into it yet. I mostly use refillable bottles.
A 2-4 of water is an appropriate photo for the beginning of the May 2-4 weekend, aka Victoria Day in Canada.
(It’s often a big drinking weekend and cases of beer in Canada are sometimes referred to as 2-4s)

Lockdown Photo #133
The connector for the tube of my Platypus (a 3 litre water bag I have carried with me in a backpack on long hikes. The tube has a bite valve at the other end to make it easy to sip or drink while walking).
Lockdown Photo #132
The charger for the built-in batteries of my hearing aids (I'm a marginal case for needing them, but I love them!)
