Vacation Flowers

Hi everyone!  A day late and not with the topic that I intended, but here I am.  I was going to start up with a More of Less post yesterday, but I will have to put that off by another week.  My dad is in the hospital and so my mind had been a little all over the place.  I did, however, want to quickly share with you some of the pictures that I took while on vacation.

We spent 10 relaxing and much needed days in Safaga, Egypt located by the Red Sea and about 570 km from Cairo.  During our stay I took pictures of the flowers located on the grounds of the resort.  A feeble few I was able to identify, but I have no idea what the names of the remaining are.  Maybe some of you can identify some of the other plants or can correct what I have identified incorrectly?

Hibiscus

Bougainvillea





Calendula?

Lantana


I have quite a few post topics floating around in my mind and I will have to see how I will squeeze it in.  It is odd how in such a short time this little blog have become so important to me and it really is a good outlet.  Somehow therapeutic even.

Have a great day everyone.

    I totally hear you about the therapeutic blogging -I post more on my blog when I'm busiest in the rest of my life. It's definitely a release of sorts! =)

  2. Ich kann dir nur zustimmen. Für mich ist der Blog auch total wichtig geworden und hilft mir durch eine momentan recht stressige Zeit. Es tut gut, sich mit inspirierenden, schönen Dingen zu beschäftigen und so tolle neue Leute, wie dich kennenzulernen.
    Ich hoffe, deinem Dad geht es bald besser.
    Sei gedrückt!
