Hello Flowers!

Good Morning!

I visited my great aunt the other day (she is making an awesome recovery at my grandmother's/aunt's house) and when I got off the car I spotted this gorgeous exotic looking flower that has bloomed from some vine that has wrapped itself around my grandmother's Frangipani tree!  I don't know if she knows the name because I forgot to ask her... does anyone out there know what this is by chance?  Anyway, I love its funky form and red and yellow petals!  

My grandmother's Frangipani was not in bloom, but my mother's is!  You can check out the first blooms featured in this post, but you can also take a look below because two or three more flowers bloomed and I took new pictures!

UPDATE:  According to my cousin Gina and Aloha Tropicals the flower above is called a GLORIOSA LILLY, (Rothchildianna).

New blooms on my mother's Frangipani!  They smell so so sweet!....

And of course, I can't forget my daily pictures of our beautiful sky!  These were taken yesterday on my drive in to work....

Good Day Sunshine!

Hello!  Woohoo, it's Friday!!

Here are some great pictures I took of the sunset, sunrise and Downtown Miami Skyline yesterday and today.  By the way, the building that's lit up purple is called the Freedom Tower.  Hopefully soon I will get a good camera and my pictures will look crisper! 

Have a great weekend!

I thought the sky looked amazing yesterday as I was driving home from work!

This was the sunset yesterday!

The Freedom Tower gorgeously lit up in Downtown Miami
I've never seen them light it up like this!

 

This is the view from our balcony up Biscayne Boulevard..... there's the Freedom Tower (and the American Airlines Arena to the far right)

 

This is today's sun rising in the sky over downtown....

The Greatest Masterpiece of All: The Sunset

The most gorgeous and breathtaking thing one can behold each day is the sun as it rises in the morning and sets in the evening. Unfortunately, I don't usually wake up and get going anywhere early enough to ever see the sun actually rise, but I do get to enjoy the sunset every day on my way home and then afterward from my balcony.

So anyway, the point of this post is simply to share with you some great photos that I've captured of the sunset in all of its endless varieties! Believe me when I tell you that most of the over 1,900 photos in my phone are of the sky and sunset, in fact my boyfriend thinks I'm crazy because I make him rapid-fire pictures of the sky for me while we drive around town so I don't crash! Haha!! Well, what can I say, I just can't seem to take nature's beauty for granted! There used to be a time when I don't think I looked up to the sky on a daily basis, but these days I absolutely do, in fact not a day goes by that I don't marvel at its complexities ! Do you remember the day when you stopped taking nature's beauty for granted? If not, then make it today, because every day is a new chance to notice it!

Enjoy!

Amazing isn't it!? Fire in the sky!

I think this shot of the semi truck driving in front of the afternoon sun rays is so cool!

These pictures are from a drive home from South Beach....

I think this picture below is fantastic!....
