One Sunny Day with Flowers Around

Good day, Hiveans! I hope you’re healthy while reading this blog and can still do your daily tasks.

It was still summer vacation here in our country. No students are going to school. No alarm clock that needs to be set. It is a peaceful morning, I suppose. It’s summer break when students and teachers have time to rest if they want to. But, for sure students are very happy because they can play all they want and sleep all they want.

Like me, since it’s still summer break, I sleep all I want and wake up all I want if there’s no prior engagement. The wake-up time is 10 am because the high temperature is my alarm clock.

One morning, I woke up and did not see my husband around. I checked the parking space, and then I found him. He was manipulating the vehicle. When he needs to solve problems with the vehicle, it’s not good to disturb him.

I learned my lesson because one time, when he replaced one part of the vehicle one wheel was removed and only the hydraulic jack stand was used, since I did not relate to his work, and the vehicle was open, I did not mind what he was doing, and directly went inside, then unfortunately it becomes unbalanced and luckily my husband was not under the vehicle. He was safe at that time.

I waited for him to finish his task because we would go to the market to eat our brunch.

While waiting, I get the phone of my husband and have the opportunity to capture the flowers in our neighborhood.

Kanding-Kanding Flowers (Gale of the Wind Flower)

The local name of the plant is Kanding-Kanding. This flower is endemic in tropical countries. It could be a decorating plant or a weed depending on the place where it is situated. The smell of this flower is so strong. If this flower is used to beautify the place, the result will always be beautiful. I am always amazed when it’s used for decoration. This flower has a different variety of colors but the most common is this type of color, yellow orange. The flower is situated in the weed area so, it’s a weed.

Gumamela Flower (Hibiscus Flower)

I captured the gumamela flower found in my neighborhood. Whatever the variety of gumamela flowers, the result will always be beautiful when captured. Gumamela flowers may be common, but only when I graduated from high school did, I find out that people like to plant these flowers. I learned the scientific name when I was in high school. It was easy to remember.

Mansanitas Flower (Jujube Plum Flower)

I already posted about the mansanitas tree; you can check it out if you have time. Thank you. I included the flower of mansanitas since it’s still in its season. I find the flower cute.

Waiting for my husband to finish his task had a purpose too. I’m not the type of person to capture everything around me but now that I’m into Hive, it motivates me to roam around and have documented. However, sometimes, I forget, but nowadays, it’s different compared to before.

Thank you for reaching this far. If you want to inspire, learn, and witness beautiful scenery, experiences, and places, do not forget to follow, upvote, and reblog my post to support and motivate me to write more. Thank you.
