Out and about with readers

While we all have been dealing with the confines of a pandemic, the Scene pages showing folks at various events in and around Salisbury have been on a long sabbatical. They will return with a vengeance once we are freer to move around and congregate. Meanwhile, readers have sent in a few photos that we wanted to share. They come from their walks around the county, visits to friends, their jobs, homes, gardens and travels. — Mark Wineka
