Most of the time I try to take Fridays off from working at the hospital. But about half of the time I end up going in for half a day. I'm limited to 32 hours a week, actually 64 hours per pay period, and many days I work just 7 or 7-1/2 hours, which gives me about 3-4 hours I can put in on some Fridays. So a couple of weeks ago, I put in my 3-4 hours. It's nice when you can leave in the middle of the day. So on my way home I decided to take a few pictures around the hospital. These (I think) are margheurite daisies, just outside of the Medical Staff offices.
Also in the same area, just around the corner, just as one would walk toward the employee parking lot, you come across several shrubs, mostly the mock orange shrubs. They smell so good.
Here is a close-up of the blossoms. Oh, I wish you could smell them. They have that sweet spicy smell to them.
Then in another spot nearby are some rhododendrons blooming now. They are so beautiful.
And here is a close-up of those beautiful flowers.
And here is another shot of the mixture of the daisies and the rhododendrons.
And as I was walking home I saw these beautiful flowers. I think these are called ice plant - that's not the scientific name, of course, but something we Californians have known as ice plant. These flowers are in my neighbor's front yard. She also works at the hospital as a nurse, and lives at the end of my street.
What do you get to see on your way to work, or on the way home?
