Pictures from my walk

I walked today and brought my iphone with me so I could take pictures. Yesterday I saw so many pretty flowers blooming but didn't have my phone with me. I wanted to listen to music today while I walked and was trying to decide whether to bring my shuffle or phone to take pictures. It took a few minutes for it to dawn on me that my iphone has an ipod on it. Sometimes I worry about myself.



This is in the alleyway where I park my car. I thought the daffodils looked pretty blooming inside the kind of icky fence.



A pretty tree. I like the pink flowers!



I thought this looked pretty cool!



This is a bush on my corner. The flowers are a peach color and really pretty.


The picture you get when you're trying to use the ipod & camera on your phone at the same time.



A little patch of pretty flowers.



I don't know what this bush is but it's very pretty. I see a bunch of them in my neighborhood. I especially liked this one because it has white flowers planted inside it.



Another pretty plant. The leaves are really nice but if you enlarge it you can see yellow flowers. I don't know what this one is either. I think there is a plant id app that you can get for the iphone. I guess I should look for it!

Flowers

I like flowers. They make me smile which I'm pretty sure is a good thing. Rarely do I not have a vase or two of flowers in the house. You all wonder why I'm telling you this don't you? I have to do a post about something because NO ONE else has posted yet! Actually there is a point. I read a posting on the Cognitive Daily blog about a study done that shows flowers produce positive emotions. I've known this for a long time but it is nice that there is a scientific study to back me up.

According to the study, there is more positive emotion involved when someone receives flowers then in just looking at them. Since I can't send everyone flowers you'll have to get by with looking at the picture. These are the flowers I currently have in my living room. Hope they produce positive emotions in everyone!
