Flowers by phone

For anyone who has been having a week like me...here are some flowers to perk you up. Last week, while I was locked out of my house, I decided to kill some time by taking pictures of some of my flowers with my cell phone. I'll have to say, the quality of the photos always surprises me. Some are less clear than others, but none have been altered.


Tropicana Rose (I need to learn how to focus on my subject)


Red Hibiscus Tree (these are much more red in person...they look coral-ish here)


Peach Hibiscus plant (I also watered while locked out of the house...it was a long wait)


Stargazer lilies (I wish you could smell these...heaven)




Sunflowers (ignore the lack of grass behind the flowers :))



The rest of these photos have been on my phone for quite some time, so I thought I'd share them with you. Enjoy!


This was taken early one morning in our neighborhood. Don't ask me what I was doing up before the sun!


This lovely lamp sits in the window of an apartment in one of the alleys off the Square in Oxford. I love the movie The Christmas Story, so I HAD to take a picture!

I've had alot I've wanted to blog about recently, but I either haven't found the time or the motivation. Maybe tomorrow I will have something of substance to share with you. In the mean time, check out Kent's blog to read some interesting stuff. His blog has substance...mine...it's all fluff. Is it Friday yet?
