Crumbin Sanctuary Pt 2

Missed a day. was busy typing up the script I had been working on.

This morning, I have been out doing some weeding. And remodeling parts of the garden with plants that don't need much water. The sun became hot so I came inside before I became burnt. And so I wouldn't doing more damage to the areas of the body which has been aching.

So I'm setting some more photos to upload while I type up more work. These are more I took at the sanctuary.

The first three are paintings on the tunnel the little train passes through. And where the people walk to reach a different section of the park.

This selection I took while I took the train ride around the park. The legs were aching so I opted for the ride. I had enough trouble lifting my right leg up a short distance to sit in the open carriage. You can stop at different sections to visit different attractions.

This is a lizard that caused a stir where people were taking a break to eat before continuing on their journey through the park. I coaxed it from where we wanted to sit. The lizard wanted more fun. It sneaked up behind a group of Japanese young adults. There were a few screams. Leg lifted. Then the table was empty.

Some of the people who were on my bus. I like taking action shots. That way I catch them. Unawares.

These were taken in the entrance shop.

These were taken while we waited for Clive, our driver to come open the door to the bus.

We had to return to Tweed Heads to collect the rest of our passengers before we set out for home. I was the first one dropped off. At 7 p.m. Sunday night.

Vision

This was taken when we went on a bus trip. The animals moved around the shopping center. There were a few different shaped ones. Kept the children busy while the parents shopped. Vision. A few days after I had hip surgery, I had this surreal vision. May have been from the effects of the anesthetic. Or the tablets I were given. I had been a sleep. I seemed to be in a different place to the ward I was in. The room had shrunk to a two bed size. There was a person in the bed next to mine. I could hear breathing but no movement on the bed. A doorway led to a single bed room. There lay a female of aboriginal descent. The room was mostly in darkness but for a small amount of light from the street outside the hospital. I could hear cars. Slamming of doors. Then came knocking on the outer door to the hospital. The opening and closing of the door. Footsteps thundering up the stairs. A shadowy figure passed through the doorway to my room then disappeared into the other room. The p...

Spring

Where is spring? The weather feels more like winter. The sun is hiding and a chill is in the air. I'm thinking of going back to bed. The moment I begin to walk up the steps to reach my bed, the phone will ring. Or someone will come knocking on the door. Maybe I'll curl up on the lounge and read a book with a blanket over me. I don't want to find the heater and unpack it from the box. I just put it away. I had visitors yesterday. I hadn't seen them since 1991. Now my life has settles I will be able to go visit some family I have seen for years. Taking care of parents, family and friends, took up so much of my time. Followed by a lot of health problems. I have more time to do what I want for a change, since I have improved. I don't have severe pain like I had. Time for me to adventure out and see some of the country. The tree with the empty beer bottles were in the lounge room, where we had lunch on one of the bus trips. This was a day outing with friends. I ...

Santa Claus Took Our Mother

We have been very naughty for our parents. Disobedient. Yelled at our mother. We had nearly driven her round the bend. Caused disharmony between our parents. Our mother had started to withdraw from everyone. We annoyed her all the time to have our own way. We had bicycles but we were reckless when riding them. Careless with their care. We didn't appreciate the presents we were given. Our mother could see what we were doing and warned us to keep off of the road. To stay in our own yard but we never listened to her. When she wasn't watching we rode out of the yard and down the road. Most days, we were away for hours, never telling her where we were going. Or asking if we were allowed to go. Or tell her how long we would be. Never a day went past without us grumbling, or fighting. We didn't let her have a moment's peace. She tried to get us to share our toys, and books. No. Not us. We wanted everything our way. She gave up on us. She kept mu...
