The walk before Christmas . .
Yesterday my wife wanted to visit her work place to see how things are going.
She is still home on sick relieve due to her cataract surgery , but she thought she could handle it .
So i decided to bring the camera and snap some photos in the cold while she was in side meeting with her coworkers.
I took a short walk arround the building she works in it's a home for elderly people that can no longer live independend at home , some with altzheimer , others with dementia .
1 ) The elderly homes where people can grow old near the elderlyhome, still independent but if needed help is nearby.
2 ) dried up hydrengea flower
3 ) flowering Mahonia aquifolium in the winter , they suppose to flower in spring time not on 23rd of December.
4 ) even the Vinca was still flowering
5 ) Often used in Christmas decorations the Cotoneaster simonsii
6 ) More independent elderly homes , but no sunshine today.
7 ) the birds were still flying outside in the Volière / aviary
8 ) cockatiel
9 ) Nymphicus hollandicus / cockatiel
10 ) parakeet Budgerigar
11 ) and the last flowering bush i found was the Skimmia , also often used in christmas decorations.
12 ) Christmas tree at the entrance of the building.
13 ) More threatning clouds time to pick up the wife again and go home.

Is there any reason that the houses have no flat roof ? Carrying a camera never goes wasted...perfect shots!
You have been manually curated by...
A pitched roof is used on a house for
excellent drainage (rain and snow slide off), better weather protection, additional usable space (attic), better insulation, and a higher aesthetic/market value, as it's traditional and often blends well with the surroundings. It's functional, durable, and offers more possibilities than a flat roof. source google AI
Sencillamente espectaculares imágenes. Feliz año. Buenaventura y prosperidad. Que la esposa siga recuperándose.
🤛
Thank you the wife will recover , she needs to take time for that .
Lovely captures. Appreciate the care you and wife taking for elderly people at elderly homes. The cotoneaster simonsii with its captivating colour contrast is too beautiful 😍 hearing and seeing this for the first time.
It's my wifes profession to take care of the elderly and i take care of my wife for the time being until she is recoverd.
Great going. Kudos and respect to both of you.

The work your wife does is truly beautiful, and she's so dedicated that even during her recovery, she's keeping up with what's happening there—that's real commitment.
