This is probably the 1st or second time I’ve posted in this community. I was inspired by seeing a post on my feed that was posted to the community and thought “hmmm I went for a walk and took some photos this morning.”
I’m not usually a flower snapping type of guy but I recently upgraded from an iPhone 8 Plus to a 15 plus and hadn’t really tested the camera out. And as I always bring my phone on my walks to track my steps, it just made sense to put it to the test.
I usually like walking in the mornings between 6 & 7 because:
- The air is fresh.
- It gets the blood flowing.
- The sun rays at that time are easy in the eyes 👀.
- Clears my mind for the day ahead.
- Helps me to affirm things I want to manifest.
- and it gets a majority of my 10,000 step goal out of the way before the day really gets started. I could actually go on 😆.
What time of the day do you usually like walking?

The flowers in this posts can usually be seen on my 1 hr walking path. That’s the route I take when I have the time. The flowers are planted by a retired Japanese sales man who does it to bring joy to the people walking by. I’ve had the pleasure of talking to him a few times and I must say I admire his spirituality and his connection to nature. He once told me that he talks to the flowers and that’s what helps make them bloom well. When winter draws near he tells them to have a good rest until spring comes around.

The honest truth is I had no idea what these flowers were called, but then I realized my phone had a search photo function which I used to find the names. I must admit I kinda like the name of these flowers, it kinda has a ring to it, "Dahlia". I see why the Japanese guy decided to make this flower a majority of the garden.
Regarding the camera on the iPhone 15 plus, it is awesome. Just take a look at these pictures, zoom and you can see the details. The colors and photo quality are also crisp.Like any camera, the lighting is key. This time of day ( early morning ) was a good time to see the best of what the iPhone 15 plus camera has to offer. I am not disappointed. I shall make the best of this gadget.

After a few minutes of taking photos, I was on my way and about 40% through my journey. The other 60% of the trek would usually involve some incline push ups on the benches along the way as well as some jogging... but not this day. I just took it easy, stretched it out and walked it out. In my opinion, walking is one of the best stress reliefs as well as exercises. Don't you agree?
Until next time.
Stay Blessed.
