I went to the cinema today to see Mamma Mia 2 with a friend and then called in to see Elizabeth at Regis on my way home. It is sad to see her deteriorating. Alzheimer's is terrible. She knows who I am but probably won't remember that I have visited. She is always jolly though which is nice to see.
Last weekend David and I went for lunch at Lemon Tree Passage and so on the way we stopped along the Lemon Tree Passage Road at Salt Ash to take photos of the aftermath of the bushfire there recently. This bushfire goes on for miles and even jumped the road at a few places along the way. Luckily no houses were damaged in the fire which was good because it came so close to some houses and also Tanilba Bay golf club.
I will post photos of this fire over the next few days because believe it or not I have a busy week ahead too. I really do need 8 days in a week.
Alzheimer's is such a terrible thing .. but very good that you go to visit.. and good that she is always jolly .. Hope you enjoyed Mamma Mia2 and you did some dancing in the eisles... This fire looks very devistating ...
Sad to see the burnt plants. Good capture.
I visit my cousin who lives with Parkinson’s disease. He understands me but cannot talk. I just hold his hand and chat of the old days. As we all are living longer some diseases have to be dealt with.
@pusspup My pal and I thought of singing along with the tunes in Mamma Mia, but decided against it, we would have probably got thrown out of the cinema. neither of us are singers.
@veengupta I am sure you are a great comfort to your cousin. Elizabeth's husband passed away a few weeks ago after succumbing to brain cancer. Elizabeth knows John has gone, but I am not so sure she knows it is permanent.
It does not look bad. If they get some water they will be reborn and will be even nicer. Everything will get away from the rain.
A wonderful shot. Great clarity.
A sort of sad beauty about this scene, beautiful shapes & textures there but a fire is a terrible destructive force which knows no boundaries. It seems to have done so much damage this year here & in yours & other countries. To lose your home must be the worst nightmare apart from loss of life. Poor Elizabeth, it sounds like she has rather gone downhill since John died or perhaps just a natural progression. You will be sad seeing her like that but strangely & sometimes happily it's a blessing. In her own little world.
