This reflects what then happened after the ballet.....

During the ballet my sister in law received a phone call that her husband (my brother) had had a mini stroke! As she had driven to Melbourne from Sale (3 hours opposite side of Melb) on her own, I offered to go home with her - I had planned to stay in Melbourne and visit my children. My plans all quickly changed! So I thought this photo reflects how things can change so easily - wonder if you can work it out!! Good news is, my brother is now home (and I've just returned home after 6 hour train trip) He still has double vision, but everything else is ok :)

Good to hear your brother is ok. Things really can change quickly.

Good to hear your brother is recovering well. Great idea and capture of sudden change and calm amongst chaos.

That is not good news Denise, glad your brother is home with only a minor deficit. How our lives can change in a heartbeat. Take care Xx.
Love the reflective shot BTW :)

What an image. It really captures the fracturing of reality.

[Jane Anderson]

It seems there is a shade across the window? It is a great choice for your disconcerting news. I'm sure you're ready for a break in tough news.

[Sam]

Oh dear Denise - sounds like your brother is on the mend which is good news however keep a close eye on him!

[Johanna Koppes]

Also represents the fractured vision.Hope that clears up as it is heavy and confusing.

[Lee-Ann]

Good to hear that your brother is home with family. Nice capture.

[Merrelyn]

Good to hear that your brother is on the mend.Great shot. Is this a glass / perspex screen with the pattern done with mirrors?

[Janiskay]

The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray. Glad your brother is doing OK.

[Bep]

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans ... Good to hear your brother is home and doing well. The picture really illustrates your feelings.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

I am so glad your Brothers home, they wouldn't send him home if he wasn't OK. Now it looks like a mirror with the glass at different angles, interesting.

[carol white]

Pleased your brother's home and improving. Super capture

[Margaret Snell]

Great shot sorry to hear about your brother but glad to know he is at home and improving

[Ashley]

What an evocative shot. Glad your brother's well enough to get home!

[Delia]

I am glad he is on the mend. The photo is very appropriate

@karlow75 @wendyfrost @hermann @francoise @cejaanderson @gigiflower @hellie @seattlite @leestevo @merrelyn @janiskay @gijsje @ladymagpie @carolmw @oldjosh @shesnapped @deliad Thank you all so much for your caring thoughts with my brother. Every day his vision is improving and more scans today revealed no permanent damage anywhere else. Thanks also for the comments on this photo -I was intrigued by these in the gardens. There were 4 large mirror panels that had cut outs of trees, leaves and/or branches -different in each one. So you can see the mirror reflection but also the gardens through the cut outs :) Quite fascinating!

[Babs]

Fabulous shot, I'd just figured out how it was done and then I read your explanation. Should have scrolled down first.
Good to hear your brother is on the mend. Just goes to show how quickly things can change.

[Barb Newcomb]

I am glad your brother is on the mend. This getting old stuff really sucks sometimes!

[Poppo Livy]

He's got double vision. This has really screwed mine. PS Glad to hear he is OK. As Barb said, getting old really sucks some time.

[Pyrrhula]

A great shot to show feelings . Glad everything is (nearly) O.K. with you brother

[john39]

I hope your brother makes a full and rapid recovery
