A Caregiver's Escape

Unfortunately my wife suffers from dementia. As a result I can no longer leave her for the long periods needed to travel to photogenic spots, even in Washington DC about 15 miles from where we live. So I have decided that every time I go somewhere, like to the store, I will try to take at least one decent picture.

Finally, in January 2015, I placed her in Arden Courts, one of the saddest days of my life.
